  Scottish Fold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Scottish Fold is a breed of cat with a natural mutation to its ears.
The original Scottish Fold was a long-haired white-haired barn cat named Susie, who was found at a farm near Coupar Angus in Perthshire, Scotland in 1961.
The original cats only had one fold in their ears, but due to selective breeding they have increased the fold to a double or triple crease that lies the ear totally flat against the head.
