Cats are the ultimate cuties that have the Internet in a chokehold, now and forever, it seems. But let’s face it: some breeds get more love than others. A few years ago, British Shorthairs were everywhere on social media. Nowadays, Ragdolls and Maine Coons are all the rage. Taylor Swift probably has a lot to do with it, as her cat Benjamin is a Ragdoll. Swift’s other two cats, Meredith Grey and Olivia Benson, are Scottish Folds, another breed of insanely fluffy and cute felines. In fact, Scottish Folds were the 8th most popular cat breed in America in 2023, according to the CFA. So, today, we’re dedicating a list to these big-eyed patooties. Scroll at your own risk, as these pictures might induce some serious urge to get one of your own! To know more about these cutie pies, Bored Panda reached out to South Carolina-based Wunderfolds Scottish Fold Cattery. Its owner, Ginger Pains, shone some light on breed standards, the challenges they run into as a cattery, and what future Scottish Fold owners should know. Read their expert insights below!

Scrolling through lists like these sometimes has me thinking: “Maybe let’s try getting a cat?” After all, who in their right mind wouldn’t want to have a real, living plushie they can cuddle, dote on, and put on the Internet to make strangers say “aww” and feel jealous? “When our cats go to cat shows, the word that is repeated by judges is ROUND! Eyes should be very large and round, head round like a ball, with ears tightly capped to the head. Ears should not be lifted and [look] like airplane wings, but they should fold over onto the curve of the head to form a perfect ball shape.” “We recommend only working with breeders who do HCM scans and have titled cats, and [we] always ask for PROOF of these things because many unscrupulous breeders say they do these things, knowing most people do not ask for the documentation to verify.” “It includes feeding information, litter used, toy and cat furniture recommendations, health information, and much more.
