The Scottish Fold cat occurred as a spontaneous mutation in farm cats in Scotland. The breed has been established by crosses to British Shorthair and domestic cats in Scotland and England. In America, the outcross is the American and British Shorthair. All bona fide Scottish Fold cats trace their pedigree to Susie.

  Scottish straight cat has all chances to become your favorite home pet. It is caused by their great temperament. If you are not a breeder or a felinologist, it might be difficult for you to differ this breed from British shorthair cat, for example. It can be proved even by the fact that Scottish had been registered as British until 2005! So, since 2005 the breed has its own standard and have a right to take part in the competitions and exhibitions.
