The Science Behind It
Scottish Fold cats have a dominant gene mutation (Fd) that affects cartilage throughout their body, not just their ears. This causes osteochondrodysplasia, leading to:
- •Painful arthritis developing as young as 7 weeks old
- •Thickened, inflexible tails causing pain
- •Lameness and reluctance to jump or play
- •Shortened, splayed limbs in severe cases
Scottish Straights have NONE of these issues - they have completely normal cartilage and joints!

For Prospective Breeders
If you're interested in breeding Scottish Folds ethically, you MUST have Scottish Straights in your program. They're not just "extras" or "less valuable" - they're essential for maintaining healthy bloodlines and preventing suffering. Many successful catteries focus exclusively on Straights due to ethical concerns.
Registry Note: Some countries and organizations are moving to ban or restrict Scottish Fold breeding due to welfare concerns. Scottish Straights remain unaffected by these regulations and represent the future of the breed.
