Hello doctor, can you tell me if my cat is a Scottish Fold?

Hello, the cat in the photo is a Scottish Fold, but whether it is purebred cannot be confirmed. Most Scottish Folds have a bone genetic disease called osteochondrodysplasia, which has no cure once it appears and can only be eased with supplements and medicine.

When it occurs, it mainly shows abnormal joint and bone development, deformed foot bones, a stiff tail, and difficulty walking. Some Scottish Folds may not show until after age 1, but some may never develop it. For Scottish Folds, we should not buy or promote them; if you already keep one, treat it well.
