Long time cat owner, first time Scottish Fold owner. She's 5ish, super sweet, and was adopted from my slightly insane mother-in-law, who left a kitten sized collar on her for way too long, creating a (hopefully temporary) ring of furless skin around her neck. Her name was Belle, but I'm searching for a new name.

This will be my first fully indoor cat. My previous cat was an ASH rescue that we were never able to get used to being inside. I would welcome any advice for setting up our home for a new kitten. We also will be introducing her to our Amstaff, Bader, eventually. I've been reading about socialization strategies for introducing them.

Any and all advice is welcome. Thank you guys!

some older photos of weewee 😸 now her ears aren’t as folded but she is even cuter

hii everyone!! 💗 i’m new to this subreddit, but i’m currently looking to get a Scottish Fold kitten and would love some recommendations!

i’m specifically looking for a male silver shaded kitten my budget is around $1,200, and i’m hoping to find a reputable, ethical breeder.

does anyone know of any trustworthy breeders or websites where i could find one? i’d really appreciate any recommendations, links, or advice on what to look for when choosing a breeder!

i also want to make sure i’m getting a healthy kitten, so if you have any advice about health testing or questions i should ask breeders beforehand, i’d love to hear it.

thank you so much!! ♡

I see a lot of fold cats here who have little to no gunk in their eyes. Our baby Theodore gets a lot of them…
Does it reduce with age? He is one years old. I use my clean fingers to clean them or a damp paper towel.

He seems to have very little tears some days. And others a lot.

Have you figured out any triggers? We just want him feeling and looking his best 😞

If there is ever any bowl on the counter he lays in it he’s a weird little kitty

Any tips??

her brain is already rotten

Hello fellow scottish lovers! I have 4 cats, 2 tabby colored scottish and 2 white brittish shorthair.

Its time for me to get a new sofa, and I rly want a dark brown one in velvet or that kind of rabbit faux furr material but lets be serious.... dark brown will never work right? What type of fabric and color is the best to avoid super visible cat hair? Ill add a pic of the sofa and the color swatches aswell, please help!

Her name is Búho, which means Owl in Spanish. She didn't get the folded ears like her mom and sister, and I think she's still angry about it. 😂

Hi, now this will take a lot to write without crying but has anyone else’s SF’s have Kidney disease - in particular polycystic kidneys?

Our boy Arthur (‘Bean’) and his litter sister Alice were rescued and came to us at 6 months old: 5 years ago. Bean was a terrified little boy, it took a few years for our scaredy cat to come out his shell, and now he’s my full shadow, my little soul boy, he’s a little chatterbox now and is a complete love bug!!

3 years ago Alice was unwell and got diagnosed with Polycystic Kidneys and as they were in the same litter, likely he did too. She was in hospital for a few days, on fluids and had ultrasounds. When she come home they both went on renal wet and dry food and shes put weight on, plays and is just a diva. Arthur shows issues with his back legs and bum and had a rock hard tail - vets have said it’s nothing to worry about as he plays and runs around. Then he dropped weight, he’s gone from 3.9kg down to 2.7kg as of yesterday in the space of a couple of years. He has check ups regularly but due to his weight loss and now you can actually feel his kidneys he had blood tests and an ultrasound 6 months ago, things were okay.

Then we got worried took him for another check up, and bloods. His bloods since September have shown his kidney functions and other things are either doubly high or doubly low where they should be. The vets have suggested to do a 3 day / 72 hour fluid flush, as there is hope but if this doesn’t help then we will just be getting him comfortable.

My question to you all - has anyone else been through this? Is this normal for kidney disease? We feel so lost and I’m in pieces. Feel so alone with it all.
