What do I need to know about Scottish Fold cats?

I love Scottish folds and dream to have one but first I need to know how much are they? Are they nasty or nice? Anything else I need to know? Please answer!

Adults up for adoption are often free.but i think kittens can cost up to 拢300


Scottish Folds are healthy, robust cats, much like their barnyard ancestors. They have exceptionally sweet personalities to match their elfin faces, and have endearing tiny voices that sound more like a squeak than a meow. Scottish Folds are extremely affectionate. They adore human companionship and adapt to almost any home situation, whether you live in an apartment or a country acreage. They get along well with children, dogs and other pets. If you are looking for a calm, affectionate, adorable and healthy cat for your family, the Scottish Fold may just be the perfect choice!
try looking up that breed on google there should be loads of stuff on them

How long have you got?
Origin: All Scottish Folds, regardless of coat length are descended from a white, fold-eared cat named Susie; a shorthaired kitten with curious ears born near the village of Coupar Angus in 1961... a decade later the second breed, the Scottish Fold longhair, took its place on the show bench.
Owners of Susie were William and Mary Ross.
They are described as having "wide open eyes with a sweet expression". The pictures of the patched silver Tortie Tabby look fabulous.
You can probably find a breeder listed on Google or Yahoo, "Cat Fanciers" or your local Vet should have a book of breeders.
There is also, probably, a "Scottish Fold Cat Society"
Your breeder will be able to tell you about keeping them.
Make sure you have your cat micro-chipped and I prefer to keep my cats as "house cats" - too many cats are killed on our road and exotic cats are a sure target for thieves.
Price? Most Pedigree animals are a bit pricey.
The most important thing I know about them, is that some cat associations do not accept them because of their ears. Since they were bred to have a genetic "problem" they say it is inhumane, because of the ears lying so close to the heads they are much more prone to ear infections.
