Scottish Fold Breed In All its Glory
The Scottish Fold has become one of the top breeds in the world due to its charming appearance. Believe it or not, they’re all derived from a single ancestor named Susie. As a kitten, she had a cartilage mutation that resulted in her ears being beautifully folded. She stayed in a barn in Scotland, where her owners began to breed her for more of her species. The breed quickly became well-known. They noticed, however, that the mutation had an impact on more than simply the ears. When two mutant genes from Scottish folds are fused together, it can result in crippling arthritis in children. Furthermore, kids may still have issues with bone growth. While the appearance is adorable and elegant, keeping the breed alive means preparing future cats for a life filled with health issues. As a result, animal rights activists are speaking out about the facility’s continued existence.

A Kitty Sketch On Its Forehead
The kitten pictured below isn’t your average tabby. It is, in fact, an endangered Scottish wildcat with self-portrait-like markings on its forehead. What an unusual and endearing creature! When they’re young, Scottish wildcats resemble the domesticated pets we’re all familiar with and appreciate. They grow to be double the size of an ordinary house cat in no time. As wildcat subspecies, Scottish wildcats are the descendants of our beloved house cats. They’ve existed in Asia, Africa, and Europe, where they’ve been grown, hunted, and dispersed. However, due to a variety of issues, such as mixing with domesticated cats or being domesticated themselves, their numbers are fast dwindling.
