Scottish Fold_Harrisburg 2013

Now this is a breed that you don’t see every day at your local animal shelter – the Scottish Fold.  Every Scottish Fold alive today can trace their ancestry back to one white barn cat found in Scotland in 1961 named Susie.  Susie was a longhaired white female who was bred to various breeds to develop the look known today as the Scottish Fold.  This breed is known to sit up like prairie dogs when they hear something and this is referred to as “the Buddah sit”.  All Scottish Fold kittens are born with straight ears, but about 50% of each litter (only those that carry the gene) develop ear folds between the 18th and 24th day.  They are SO adorable!  The images above are from the Lehigh Valley Cat Club Show over the weekend in Harrisburg, Pa.  Mom was so proud!
