Scottish Folds can be affectionate, intelligent, curious, playful, adaptable, quiet or moderately vocal, and strongly attached to their families, although every cat has its own personality. From choosing a kitten and establishing healthy routines to providing appropriate nutrition, grooming, gentle exercise, enrichment, veterinary care, and senior support, this book helps readers understand what responsible Scottish Fold ownership truly involves. The Scottish Fold is more than its famous folded ears and rounded appearance. It is an individual living companion whose comfort, health, personality, and welfare should always come first.
