Meet Gimo, The Cat With The Biggest Eyes Ever

Not All Scottish Fold Cats Have the Trademark Ears. Although this might be a bit surprising, it is certainly true. All Scottish Fold kittens are coincidentally born with straight ears, and around 3-4 weeks of age kittens will start to develop the fold in their ear. For those kittens whose ears do not bend, they are referred to as Straights. There is a natural gene mutation which causes the fold in the cat's cartilage. Aside from Straights, the Scottish Fold also comes in both longhair and shorthair varieties.
