Scottish Fold Cat Breed
The Scottish Fold cat breed is a Scottish bred, Scottish fold breed of cat. Scottish Folds are very popular in Europe and North America because they have long silky fur, an easily trainable temperament, and come in many different colors. The Scottish Fold was first developed near Coupar Angus, Scotland by Dr William Ross who wanted to create a domestic cat that had the wild look of the Scottish Shorthair but with a kinder disposition.
This breed of cat has ears that fold forward and down. Scottish Folds are similar in appearance to American Shorthairs, but they have much rounder faces with shorter noses than the average shorthair. They come in all colors and patterns, including tabby, tortoiseshell, bicolor (black/white), smoke (blue-gray), red (orange tinge), cinnamon or “tortie” (brown tinge).
The Munchkin Cat Breed
Munchkin cats are among the most popular breeds of cat in the United States, but there are some munchkin cat breeders who feel that munchkins should not be bred. Munchkins are a type of dwarfism, which is caused by a genetic mutation. A munchkin’s legs will look disproportionately short for its body and it may have shortened arms as well. The munchkin cat breed was first discovered in 1983 when an English couple living in Texas found two kittens with this condition on their farm. The munchkin cat breed is still considered a “fancy” or uncommon breed, which means that most munchkins are found in the homes of their owners.
Munchkin cats have been shown to have little health problems related to dwarfism and many munchkins live long lives with few if any issues. However, they can sometimes have problems with their bones or joints which can lead to pain if they are not cared for properly. Munchkin cats also need lots of attention and love in order to stay happy, healthy munchkins.
