The Scottish Fold is a breed of domestic cat characterised by a naturally occurring autosomal dominant mutation associated with feline osteochondrodysplasia (FOCD). This genetic health condition affects cartilage development throughout the body and produces the breed’s defining feature: ears that "fold" forward and down towards the front of the head, contributing to its often described “owl-like” appearance.
