🔔Should Scottish Fold Cats Be Banned? The Truth! kzhead.info/sun/icyDaLKZiJpvaq8/bejne.html
Lol no one can say first
No
No
Why?? They didn't do anything
No
A breeder gave me a Scottish Fold cat because his tail had an odd crook in it. Red used to wait for me to get home and then he'd tell me about his day as he walked me to my apartment. It really tickled my landlady. He was bright and loving. He stayed near me when I was home without constantly begging for attention. He was only five years old when he died of kidney failure. It broke my heart.
It is totally irresponsible to breed scottish folds. All of them suffer from ocd, an incurable disease, due to breeding. It is abhorrent to breed this breed and all who do so should be punished. It is just despicable to sell or buy these animals from a breeder.
dang that must hurt i am a emotional kid and if i had one and it died i would be on my knees crying 😭
Wow 😢 is that disease common among those type of cats? That’s sad
I have 2. They are both neutered/spayed. They are healthy, today. I hope it stays that way for a long time 💕
@tenzen you shouldn’t make assumptions. I adopted them thru my vet when their previous owner surrendered them. Unbelievable that you think rescuing 2 cats is a problem :(
He's just a frustrated idiot hun x
cats are love, how are the cats doing?
@@Realmomad they are perfect!! The sweetest cats ever, and they are spoiled 💕
@@mandypdx GLAD to know that, take care love
I think I’ve been given a Scottish Fold kitten 3 days ago. It was from a friend of a family friend who has to move. The kitten is about 6 weeks old. I never met such a smart cat. She is so chill. I can leave her at night in the hallway and kitchen area and she understands. She just chills by herself, eating, playing with toys alone, sleeping, using the litter box, and repeat. We play for about an hour before work. She welcome me when I come home. She’s is such a fast learner too! Amazing breed! And her meows are so cute!
My Scottish straight LOVES playing peek a boo. Definitely not a lap cat but will always be within five feet of me. He's such a clever, friendly, and sweet baby.
same but my scotish straight is half persian

My Scottish straight is the same way. He’s very clever and friendly and super goofy, he’s really one of the most wonderful boys I’ve ever had the chance to love.
Scottish folds are the sweetest 😊 my 4 month old is super affectionate and follows me around everywhere. He plays fetch like a dog and is very easy to train. Loves cuddles and sleeps on my lap any chance he gets. Only thing is, he’s not a fan of being picked up. If you’re thinking of getting one, make sure you can give them plenty of attention 😉

I remember one day hurting my back. I had to sit a certain way, lay my body a certain way, and walk a certain way. All of this to avoid the pain. I thought about the Scottish Fold and how they sit, walk, lay themselves down. :-( sad
My beelzebub is a double fold and he is the most precious kitty to me ever I’m so happier since I got him, he is so kind and calm and stays by my side when I’m sick.💕
Thanks for making this video. I was really considering getting a Scottish fold. Now I'm looking for a Scottish straight.
I just got a Scottish fold 3 weeks ago and she is the best!
I absolutely love their little folded ears
4:08 the main reason I want one basically since my other three cats are pushy and sassy:') 4:12 is another reason why aswell since they are pretty chill most of the time (I would still treat all my cats with love equally ❤️)
Thank you for these awesome videos, I fell in love with one but have the choice of a Norwegian forest cat as well, think I'll go with that after this video
I owe 2 Scottish fold both are amazing cats , we love them. Both had blue eyes so stunning beautiful.
I have one saved as a feral. He's a long hair and a BIG BOY. He's still gaining weight but should be close to 14 or 15 pounds when he's done. He's a real blast. His talking is so quiet that you can only see his mouth move, sometimes. He also has a large white stripe around his chest like he's wearing a kings robe. I love that cat.
i have a Scottish Fold, he is 3 years old and we visit the vet regularly. So far he is healthy, I hope it stays that way.. When I got him, I thought he was a bkh cat and didn't know anything about the Scottish Fold.
Hi Haw are YOU naw???
I got to admit I hate how these were and are breaded but these are so adorable
Could you give some information on the best nutrition for these kind of cats? Thank you
Thanks for sharing your beautiful videos 👌👌👏👏❤️🌹🌺
My pleasure
I have 2 beautiful Scottish folds! They are the best cats such wonderful nature
I want a Scottish Fold. They make me laugh every time I see them!
Yes my sweet scotish fold makes me laugh everyday. But yes takes one to two hours of commited attention and play time daily. But he knows when to break off and be independent.
Most of Scottish fold cat suffer from arthritis because they're not meant to be breed
I love my Scottish fold but for my 2nd kitty I decided to get a British Shorthair bc of the health problems Folds are probably going get down the road. I am scared for my kitty Saphora 😺. I already put the deposit on her before I really knew how bad the OCD can get. Nobody would want to have their cat go through that. I know British Shorthair can get heart problems but Folds get the chance 3 of inherent pedigree problems. This is bc there breed with Persian and British/American Shorthairs sometimes to get certain looks and colors. This is a common way breeders develope breeds. But it can spread genetic problems into the breed bc of this. The Fold is a great example. So yes they are amazingly sweet and adorable cats but I just think that it's not fair to be breeding a cat that is not healthy bc of its cuteness factor. It's not cute to have a cat in pain 😔. That's not the case with my cat now but that is bc she is still young and also l don't know how she is really feeling bc l don't speak cat. I will constantly be worrying and having to keep a constant eye on her health. Love u Saphora 💓 💗 💛
you'll find every kinda cat makes you laugh when you get one! my average tabby cat is fkin hilarious lol
Please don't get one, my boy is from a highly regarded breeder and he has joint problems at 5 years old. It's really cruel :(. I wish I'd known.
I adore mine💗
I have a Scottish fold . Best thing I've ever purchased . I love him . He thinks he's a dog !
Sad to hear about the health issues, those ears have always had my heart.
nice great vid as usual!
Thanks! 🤩
@@FactsaboutCatsVideos ur welcome!!
I have two Scottish folds
I have a Scottish straight and she’s the sweetest. I got her after researching the health problems the fold can have ! She still looks like my owl!
i love scottish fold cats they are sooo cute
l have a scottish cat please let me know how to take a bath and how many days
So are Scottish straight cats recommended ?
They are nice cats, but with lots of healty problems ... that's why in some country they are prohibited their multiplication.. Nice video ❤😻👍
Thanks!
What problems ? if you know how to breed them they should not have more problems then other cats if not less !! Please read up more on this matter as you don’t understand what you talk about ....... maine coone cats they are known to have heart problems ... has anyone mentioned to stop breeding them ?
@@oliviaolivia7011 you should read more, 📚 if don't know about their problems. Have a nice day
British Shorthair Cat VenomFilip could you show me well supported study , please . There are lot of people opinions out there without any evidence
Breeding scottish fold should be banned. It's animal abuse.
I have a triple fold, and I will never regret of my choice, I’m about to get my second one, love them so much!
It's just sad and selfish
I also own a triple fold show boy, who is scanned free of the debilitating form of OCD. Of course he carries the gene due to the ear folds, but the breeder has only ever used cats that have never gone on to develop painful joint disease. All his relatives have lived over 16yrs. So it’s not always sad or selfish.
@@Cavykarma surviving isn’t thriving the cats can’t tell you when they are in pain. it is always cruel.
@@sleepyllama8893 my boy is scanned free of any bone or joint issues, as are his parents and grandparents. Learn about the breed before condemning it. If well bred, there are no issues. If the cat carries 2 copies of the gene, or- fold to Fold bred- yes, there are issues. Our boy, and most well bred folds only carry one copy of the gene and is completely sound. You need to understand Genetics and DNA... good breeders also desex their kittens young to prevent unknowledgable buyers breeding unscrupulously, and only reputable registered breeding establishments can purchase Entires.
@@sleepyllama8893 also... if you are experienced with animals you can tell if they are in pain. A Scottish Fold with pain in its joints stops jumping, running, becomes solitary.. the tail becomes stiff- a true give away, and their joints swell. There is also a marked change in their spinal structure therefore visible to the eye. They stand up from sitting very slowly or try not to get up at all. Believe me, you CAN tell if your cat is in pain. Something I know my cat for one is not.
so cute
Cute
i have a question, I am currently interested in getting a scottish straight cat. since it has straight ears does it have the same health issues?
Yep, especially those from straight to straight matings
@@FactsaboutCatsVideos what r u talking about
@@FactsaboutCatsVideos what about the Scottish straights that come from straight-fold matings? Do they have such health issues?
Found in google “Scottish Shorthairs have normal ears and are completely healthy. They are lovely, sweet-natured cats. Scottish Folds have shortened limbs, an abnormal gait, a peculiar and sometimes stiff or painful tail, and the propensity to develop osteoarthritis at an earlier age.”
@@FactsaboutCatsVideos Omg...lol... what on earth? A Scottish Straigh crossed with a Scottish Straight IS PERFECTLY OK!Why on earth are your sprouting such nonsense??? The Straight DOES NOT carry the OCD gene, therefore there are NO, ZERO, ZIP, NOTHING, wrong with them breeding together, and it's THIS mind set, that is ruining our breeds today. The Scottish Fold does NOT always end up a crippled cat either. Our Fold is sound, not an issue anywhere. His father is elderly, and displays NO signs of OCD. His Father and 5 generation before him, did NOT display any signs of OCD either. Yes, they carry the gene, but NO, they don't always display or suffer from the condition, when bred correctly. Please don't advise people anymore, until you thoroughly study, and learn about the breed, not just assume that because it carries a faulty gene, it's going to suffer and die... that's most irresponsible...omg, I still can't believe you actually think two straights can't breed together.... 🤦♀️
5:44 is this baby pure scottish or mixed with what
Is that true that the kitten will start to fold the ears start at 21 days old? What if Scottish fold is male and mate to a domestic cat there are chance to have fold kittens also?
The ears starts to fold when they’re around 3-4 weeks, that is if they inherit the folded ear gene. And yes, I believe as long as one parent has folded ears and the other is another straight ear breed there’s a 50/50 chance of a litter with fold and straight ears
i have one
i have a scottish fold.. how long do they live for??
They can live to 20 i had a triple scottish fold that lived to 21 almost 22, if you buy from quality breeders and take good care they can live very long
I was thinking I’ll get one Scottish fold kitten and one Samoyed puppy in the future.and can I ask you do dogs and cats get along?
I think so.. I don’t actually have a cat but I have dogs. I’m sure they will get along and be best friends but they might want to distance themselves.
Late response, but a cat and dog can live together fine as long as theyre properly adjusted to each other (raising one or both of them together from a young age can help them get along) and the cat has places to escape to if they need space from the dog
1 Scottish fold, 2 domestic shorthairs, 2 great Danes. All get along perfectly.
7:28 but my Scottish cat was bought for 150-170 dollars my Scottish cat is my profile
What site did you buy it from? I only found some that cost 2000 each
are Scottish straight cats and Scottish cats the same
What does, "sits away from the body," in regards to their fur mean?
I’m assuming fluffy? Instead of hair that lies flat
Exactly as Kayla said :)
I have a gray one his name is smooky
❤️
I hope they won't fade into the dark ever
I'm glad GCCF won't register the breed. My boy is a triple fold from a highly regarded breeder, he has joint pain at FIVE.
Can I haz Scottish fold?

I have 2 scottish fold cats
Any issues? I’m getting one next Saturday 😀
Me too 🥰

@@FactsaboutCatsVideos They are the best!
i'm here because of hazard gulf kanawut cat. so i want to have a scottish fold
I really like the look of them but it would pain me to see them go through all that pain
What does 101 mean?
Hello, do Scottish folds shed a lot of hair?
as a scottish fold owner, yes, unless you brush them regularly
They are also very expensive
Why are they so expensive. My husband and I would love one, but cannot afford the price.
You should of also talked or at least mentioned the Scottish straight in this video. You mentioned though a debilitating disease in the Scottish Fold but does the straight also have the same issue (FOCD). I am so close to buying a Scottish Straight (father) X Bengal (mother) mix where both parents are registered purebreds that accidentally mated. These two breeds are complete polar opposites that I wanted to read up on both breeds so I basically wanted to know if besides the ears being different are there other differences or issues to be aware of between the fold and the straight or does everything hold true for both.
You must not have watched the entire video because she addresses that around the 7-minute mark. She says that Scottish straights don't have the health problems of Scottish folds and are a much better option for long-term peace of mind.
I just got one today and I am inlove. Her name is Ms. Kelly Birkin
Iconic name
Taylor Swift has this cat
I have a rescued Scottish Fold called Taylor Swift😂
I wish I had a cat yet🥺
Nonsense. They are fine and they have no health issues.
Who came here after Taylor Swift?
i looking for cat, but i dont know how to buy it
Craigslist
Awwwwwww🥰😍😘🥰😍😘
I have a male,( north jetsey.) One year old,ready to have family? Give me a buzz....
Omg yes, my kitten gets zoomies for 7 minutes and then sleeps for an hour.
😼
$100,000 I wouldn’t get it but with $1000 I wanna get it
They’re so cute. Poor babies. Pls dnt buy from and advocate those that breed both folds😢🥺❤️
i really want this cat but idk where to find the breeders 😅😅 any tips?
Craigslist , look in pet section and ALL for sale , Bc usually they get flaggged so they advertise in other sections but PETs, good luck
Yes, in respect and tender feelings for these beautiful cats I think they should be banned. Can you just imagine the pain and suffering these beautiful darlings suffer because of messing with their genetics. It's cruel!
They were my favourite kind of cat but now I hope they are bred less
Doesn’t Taylor Swift have those cats?
I love this breed... but will probably end up with Russian blue or British short hair!
It's unfortunate to learn about the health issues of Scottish Fold cats.
Knowing they are all unhealthy I don't want to purchase and contribute to Scottish folds...
C:
You can get any breed in Saudi Arabia for free and a 2 month old too as many people breed them for cash and then don't want to have it for longer....check tiktok if you're interested
4 grand for a single cat?! Could get me a 2 acre land for 4 grand.
I have a Scottish fold munchkin cat!
How are they doing?
Топ
I like them, but keeping breeding them is just wrong. If people like folded ear animal the shouls get a rabbit or mice, not a cat with health problems because of that.
GETTING A SCOTTISH FOLD? PLEASE READ! I have a Scottish Fold from a highly regarded show cat breeder. He was bred from a straight, and a fold. He is 5 and he ALREADY has joint issues. DO NOT encourage this breed, it's so cruel to breed them into pain. I wish I'd known 😢.
i got mine for $450 lol
I wouldnt want one because they will probable pass at an early age. I think its a bit selfush gor humans to do that.
Farm cats long-haired Farm cats
I wanted to buy one to be a partner for my cat, but I won't now. I don't want unhealthy and potentially in pain cats. A shame they are so cute :(
same
If you buy one from a very knowledgeable breeder, who only breeds with cats free from the debilitating form of OCD, and offer a kitten replacement guarantee due to their confidence in breeding sound healthy kittens, you won’t have an issue. Our kittens relatives are all free from joint disease. They obviously carry the OCD gene, but don’t display, or suffer from it.
british shorthairs look very similar, but please try to opt for adoption :)
you are giving a wrong information
Please they don’t cost $4000

“Controverial” what did he do say the n word?
i have 6 cats and 4 folds and 2 others but never had any problem with any of them och felt any difference thankfully to god. I dont like the way you describe the breed because its a cat like many others and any breed with longterm inbreeding will have problems. I have a Frend that had one of the kittens die wille mine was all helthy litter. just because some have done smal tests it dont mean they are bad they are equal and deserve same loving and caring adoption family.
These kind of cats do you look cute but if you were a very humongous time they would start to get angry😡😡
They look like owls 🦉
