General: The Scottish Fold cat occurred as a spontaneous mutation in farm cats in Scotland. The breed has been established by crosses to British Shorthair and Domestic cats and the American Shorthair. All bonafide Scottish Fold cats trace their pedigree to Susie, the first fold-ear cat discovered by the founders of the breed.

Head: Well rounded with a firm chin and jaw. Muzzle to have well rounded whisker pads. Head should blend into a short neck. Prominent cheeks with a jowly appearance in males.

Eyes: Wide open with a sweet expression. Large, well rounded and separated by a broad nose. Eye Color to correspond with coat color. See HIF COLOR.

Nose: To be short with a gentle curve. A brief stop is permitted but a definite nose break is considered a fault. Profile is moderate in appearance.

Ears: Fold forward and downward. Small. The smaller, tightly folded ears preferred over a loose fold and large ear. The ears should be set in a cap-like fashion to expose a rounded cranium. Ear tips to be rounded.

Body: Medium, rounded and even from shoulder to pelvic girdle. The cat should stand firm on a well padded body. There must be no hint of thickness or lack of mobility in the cat due to short coarse legs, Toes to be neat and well rounded with five in front and four behind. Overall appearance is that of a well rounded cat with medium bones; fault cats obviously lacking in type, Females may be slightly smaller.

Tail: Tail should be medium to long but in proportion to the body. Tail should be flexible and tapering. Longer, tapering tail preferred.

Coat: Short, dense and resilient.

NFA: Kinked tail, Tail that is foreshortened. Tail is lacking in flexibility due to abnormally thick vertebrae.
