Scottish Fold

In 1950s, a kitten with folded ears appeared in a litter born to a farm cat. Originating close to Coupar Angus in Scotland, these cats have since become known as Scottish Folds. The original cat, christened Susie, gave birth to another white kitten with folded ears. It was then that a local shepherd, named William Ross, decided to try and establish a whole new breed with the folded ear characteristic. He started with this kitten, who was called Snooks.
