Expert Answer

A Scottish Fold’s lifespan is generally under 8 years. It is born with inherited bone disease, a genetic defect; if bones degenerate with complications, it may not reach 8 and could die within months, with the time depending on care. With prompt vet care after onset and good nursing per guidance, it can live considerably longer.
