Hey guys, I'm really looking into getting a Scottish Fold!
We just lost two of our animals one month apart, due to cancer and kidney failure. They weren't even the oldest, so I'd love a generally healthy cat that isn't prone to serious health problems.

Now I'm all for folded ears, but according to Cats 101, the folding of their ears is due to a cartilage defect. It can cause some joint problems. I can't seem to find an answer to whether the Scottish Folds without folded ears have these problems, or if triple fold cats are more at risk.

I'm not sure if any of you know the answer, but anyway, does anyone here have a Scottish Fold? :3

hello, may i have some advice? uwu

so my kitty winnie lately has been attacking hands playfully. she doesn't necessarily mean harm, but i don't think it's good for her to think that behavior is alright. does anyone have any advice on how to stop it?

my cat used to do that. I fixed it by bopping his nose gently, and saying no. once she bites, stop playing with her immediately to teach her the behavior isn't acceptable.

I blow on my cat's face and it stops him pretty fast.

Soooo lately whenever somebody tries to stroke my cat he lashes out at them. I don't know why...we moved countries a year ago but he seems to have adapted well and we recently got a puppy (5 months ago), but he's been okay with her and has only started lashing out at people since 2 months ago. He's completely fine with me and my mum and loves cuddling with us but hurts other people when they try to stroke him. It's not aggressive, but I think he might be stressed...but I don't know why. Before we moved he would be scared of people but once they stroked him he would realise they wouldn't hurt him and be fine with them.

Does anyone know what I should do to stop it, or what could be causing it?

Black cats need more love!

Indeed, one of these day I will get a ragdoll, then after that all black cats for me! I love ragdolls and black cats so pretty ( I would love a long haired black cat omg I would die for a black long haired with blue eyes unrealistic but gosh!)

I doubt I will ever own a pure cat, but some of my dream breeds are:
*Ojos Azules (you may like the Ojos Azules long hair Tipsy!)
*Minskin
*Highlander
*Lykoi
*Sphynx

I'd die for a purebred Bengal or a Savannah!

Like I said, a Scottish Fold for me. :3
I was thinking of getting a Ragamuffin or a Ragdoll, but they're so big and heavy, and I'm weak. ono
Besides, I already have a 20 pound cat! Haha.

Tipsy, I agree. Black longhair cats are beautiful!
Ohh but a seal point Ragdoll with blue eyes would be beautiful, too. <3

[darkvoodoo]

I love hairless breeds, blue eyes and funky ears.
And then I like big fluffy cats
I like such a variety,lol
I think Bengals and Savannahs are neat, but not on my dream list.
