This is interesting! It turns out that fold-eared cats have lived in the East for a long time, but never developed into an independent breed. But modern fold-eared cats appeared in 1961 in Scotland from farmer William Rosso. One day, his cat gave birth to kittens with strange ears, and the farmer decided to develop a new breed, which was officially recognized in the United States fifteen years later.

The nature

The Scottish breed is notable for the fact that each kitten has its own character and acquires its own habits. Some kittens are drowsy and phlegmatic, while other pets remain playful and playful even into adulthood.

Each fold-eared kitten can be given a nickname based on its character and behavior. Usually 2-3 days are enough for the owner to understand what the purchased pet will be like. Most popular nicknames:

For calm, balanced, phlegmatic cats - Lonley, Lord, Baxter, Toptun, Cicero, Socrates, Sebastian, Sensei, Relax. However, among the Scottish Folds there are few individuals with such a character; usually representatives of the breed are inquisitive and clingy to the owner.
Names for clean Scottish Fold cats who love to wash themselves and put themselves in order are Apollo, Major, Augustine, Tulip, Prince, Sir, Beauty.
For a playful, playful, restless cat, crawling along the curtains, grabbing the owner’s legs, stealing food from the owner’s table, the nicknames Finley, Paul, Logan, Pirate, Yarik, Tarzan, Naughty, Stalker, Barbarian are suitable.
A brave, lively, pugnacious cat can be named Sheriff, Shaitan, Gangster, Rambo, Thresh, Sniper, Cerberus. You can choose a nickname for your pet from the warlike Scottish male names - Cuddy, Marcas, Gavin.

NOTE! Names for elite male fold kittens should not be too simple and cute. For example, Snezhok, Vaska, Barsik, Masik are not suitable.

Funny nicknames

Despite the fact that adult fold-eared cats differ from kittens in their seriousness and large size, they begin their life journey as a cute and funny kitten. So why not give your baby a funny name in a fun and casual way?
