All breeding should be done with only one Scottish fold parent.The Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA): Breed Profile: Scottish Fold YouTube Video: Ideal Companion: Scottish Fold (Time: 2:30)The ear fold mutation is genetically dominant, thus the probability of getting a Scottish fold from a Scottish fold parent and a non Scottish fold parent is 50%.The Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA): Breed Profile: Scottish Fold

The Scottish fold mutation began with a Scottish barn cat named Susie. Neighboring shepherd William Ross took notice of her and when she had her first litter he asked to have one of her kittens, a female, whom he named Snooks. A son of Snooks was bred to a British Shorthair and their offspring were the first of the Scottish fold breed.The Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA): Breed Profile: Scottish Fold Cat Fanciers: Scottish Fold Breed FAQ-
