Besides those distinctive ears, Scottish Folds are known to be sensitive, expressive, and active. "The ears on a show quality Scottish Fold are held down tightly forward against the head, giving it an owl-like appearance," Keiger said, noting that some Scottish Folds' ears however are straight. They also have huge eyes and a round head, she said.
Scottish Folds are sweet and affectionate cats that have a very soft and gentle voice, Dr. Burch said, noting that they aren't vocal often. She further explained that they love human companionship and aren't afraid to request it in their quiet way. They're also very comfortable in both a loud multi-person household as well as a quiet single-person household.
