Scottish Fold cats are known for their sweet, calm, and affectionate nature, making them wonderful companions, but the genetic trait that causes their folded ears also leads to osteochondrodysplasia, a painful, degenerative bone and joint disease. Other advantages include their relatively low-maintenance grooming and suitability for families and other pets.
