Scottish Fold Origin.
Cats with drooping ears or folded ears are ancient. The first word of one goes as far back as 1796. In this year, an English sailor brought back one of these cats when he returned from China. The Chinese also contributed the second example of a folded ear cat to the cat fancy history when one was noted in 1938. But the Scottish Fold as we know her today was first born in 1961 in Pertshire, Scotland. There, a kitten with folded ears was discovered in a litter of otherwise normal eared kittens. This kitten, named Susie, was then bred to domestic cats and British Shorthair cats to establish the folded ear. To this day, every Scottish fold can trace her ancestry to Susie.
The Scottish Fold has never been as well-liked in Britain as she is in the US, despite the fact that the breed was created there. Americans not only evolved the breed into the stunning cat it is today, but they also fell in love with it.Breeding the Scottish Fold is challenging. It is forbidden to breed a folded-ear cat with another folded-ear cat. Along with a straight-eared cat, American Shorthair and British Shorthair are acceptable outcrosses. When two folded-eared cats breed, the resultant kittens may be so deformed that they have trouble walking. Not all of these kittens have folded ears, and Scottish Folds typically have small litters despite this outcross.

When choosing an Ortiz Sottish Fold, you're probably considering its kind (e.g., Ortiz Sottish Fold Straight), color, and price range.
