Cats are the ultimate cuties that have the Internet in a chokehold, now and forever, it seems. But let's face it: some breeds get more love than others. A few years ago, British Shorthairs were everywhere on social media. Nowadays, Ragdolls and Maine Coons are all the rage. Taylor Swift probably has a lot to do with it, as her cat Benjamin is a Maine Coon.Swift's other two cats, Meredith Grey and Olivia Benson, are Scottish Folds, another breed of insanely fluffy and cute felines. In fact, Scottish Folds were the 8th most popular cat breed in America in 2023, according to the CFA. So, today, we're dedicating a list to these big-eyed patooties. Scroll at your own risk, as these pictures might induce some serious urge to get one of your own!To know more about these cutie pies, Bored Panda reached out to South Carolina-based Wunderfolds Scottish Fold Cattery. Its owner, Ginger Pains, shone some light on breed standards, the challenges they run into as a cattery, and what future Scottish Fold owners should know. Read their expert insights below!More info: Wunderfolds Scottish Fold Cattery | Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | TikTok#1 Right After I Said No More TreatsImage credits: reddit.comI'll admit – as a dog person, I don't know much about cats. I grew up always having one or two, but they were never a fancy breed. I remember reading somewhere that cats are an exercise in control, and that pretty much summed up my affinity for dogs. I'm way too needy for a pet's affection to get it only when they want to offer it.However, there is something magically adorable about some cats. Scrolling through lists like these sometimes has me thinking: "Maybe let's try getting a cat?" After all, who in their right mind wouldn't want to have a real, living plushie they can cuddle, dote on, and put on the Internet to make strangers say "aww" and feel jealous?#2 My 1-Eyed Scottish Fold Would Like To Say HelloImage credits: militantomg#3 Two Cute Scottish FoldsImage credits: ChriskobWhat makes Scottish Folds so adorably cute is undoubtedly their big eyes and tiny, folded ears. Professional cat breeder Ginger Pains of the Wunderfolds Scottish Fold Cattery tells Bored Panda that the main characteristic this breed is known for is being round."When our cats go to cat shows, the word that is repeated by judges is ROUND! Eyes should be very large and round, head round like a ball, with ears tightly capped to the head. Ears should not be lifted and [look] like airplane wings, but they should fold over onto the curve of the head to form a perfect ball shape."#4 Scottish Fold CatImage credits: picklezandz#5 My Scottish Fold Is Probably The Cutest One Ever. I Melt Every DayImage credits: Khodra#6 Midsummer DayImage credits: kana_suco"Even the paws and chubby belly should be round!" Pains goes on. "The body of a Scottish cat should be a medium and padded build. We like to call them Squishy! The expression should be very open and sweet." Also, their coats are usually very dense and can be either short- or long-haired. Sounds like the perfect recipe for cute!#7 Adopted This Scottish Fold Baby, Found Out He Is Blind, Love Him Even MoreImage credits: cuppyturkey#8 Isn't He Cute?Image credits: momo_pheebs#9 Favorite Picture Of My Scottish FoldImage credits: LDihabeIt's not just the Internet that's crazy for Scottish Folds. Pet buyers all around the world are clamoring to get one of their own big-eyed beauties. "Of course, what makes them irresistible to pet buyers is they are absolutely cute and adorable," Ginger Pains says. "The sweet look of a Scottish Fold is normally the first thing people will fall in love with, but they also have amazing temperaments."#10 My Girlfriend Took A Few "Professional" Shots Of Our 1-Eyed Scottish Fold, ScallywagImage credits: militantomg#11 Amazing Sweater That Matches His EyesImage credits: basilfold#12 Hello From Tommy And PudgyImage credits: Suitable-Debate5113The owner of the Wunderfolds Scottish Fold Cattery tells us that these cats are very calm and quiet. "They also love to be around their owners," Ginger adds. "You don't need to worry that they are the type to be wild around the house climbing curtains, as they are a lazy and chill breed. They can be trained to leash walk, and we have some that have learned to ring bells for treats or use a human toilet, so they are smart and trainable."#13 Hello WorldImage credits: kocikkompocik#14 My Name Is Donut And I Would Like To Say Hi To All Of YouImage credits: ernestasKup#15 My Painfully Adorable Scottish Fold, Beans.

They do their very best to ensure their cats have the best looks, temperament, and, most importantly, health. Their kittens come from breed-winning lines. In fact, in the 2023-2024 season, their Scottish Fold long-hair kitten, Wunderfolds Cake, was TICA's best Scottish Fold kitten of the year.#16 Cute Cat PieImage credits: misa_scottishfold#17 Mr. Mouse In A Deep Life RethinkingImage credits: otisandflint#18 That Bow Looks Perfect On My Scottish Fold CatImage credits: whiskyNwhiskersHowever, the cattery runs into some challenges to make sure their kittens and cats are up to the highest standards. "A big challenge we have is finding suitable cats for breeding," Ginger Pains tells us. "Scottish Folds are one of the toughest breeds to work with. Many breeders have cats with ears not folded tight [and] small eyes, and the biggest issue of all to threaten [the] health of a Scottish Fold is cartilage issues."#19 He Always Finds A Way To Get Comfy On MeImage credits: listeningovertalking#20 Scottish FoldImage credits: waboos#21 Couldn’t Find Him, Then Peeked Around The Pillow And I Became Jealous Of How Comfy He Looks. 11-Week-Old Scottish FoldImage credits: mcrov718What Scottish Fold cat breeders most often have trouble with is the cat's tail. "We have to be sure the tail is absolutely flexible, or it is not suitable for breeding. Many breeders cannot recognize a tail fault, and we've seen many cats disqualified at cat shows for this issue, and yet, [we] see the breeders still having litters with them."#22 "I Think I Told You To Get Me Salmon For Dinner.

"We do a lot of other testing, such as HCM scans to check for heart disease, which is a very costly yearly exam, on top of genetic panels and routine PCR tests to check for other illnesses.""We recommend only working with breeders who do HCM scans and have titled cats, and [we] always ask for PROOF of these things because many unscrupulous breeders say they do these things, knowing most people do not ask for the documentation to verify."#28 My Girl With Her Belly Shaved When Vet Took Some Ultrasound ImagesImage credits: OnlyMeows_#29 My New Kitten OtisImage credits: Mollyyb01#30 I Keep Getting Mistaken For Taylor Swift’s Cat!

"We send home a giant email that includes answers to all the questions anyone has had in our 10 years of breeding," Ginger Pains says."It includes feeding information, litter used, toy and cat furniture recommendations, health information, and much more. People normally don't have any questions once they have read our preparation email, but if they do, I'm always available, just a few clicks away and happy to help at any time!"#31 My Scottish FoldImage credits: imayormaynotbecoop#32 This Is My Girlfriend's Scottish Fold Named Merlin.
