Expert writing on the Scottish Fold.
Twelve years of cattery practice, translated into honest, practical guidance for owners and prospective adopters. Every article in the journal is written by the breeder, reviewed against current veterinary literature, and updated when the evidence changes. Topics range from the genetics of the Fd cartilage mutation and the realities of Scottish Fold osteochondrodysplasia, through nutrition, grooming, and behavior, to the practical questions families ask most often — kitten-proofing a first home, transitioning from breeder food, choosing a carrier, and interpreting a first well-kitten exam. Nothing here is filler and nothing is written by a marketing agency. If a topic you want to read about is missing, please write to us and we will add it to the queue.
