The Ghost in the Living Room Had Folded Ears and Big Opinions

AI imagescottish foldghost costumeliving room

The ghost has arrived, and it is wearing a cream fur coat underneath. A white sheet drapes over the head of a Scottish Fold, with two oval cutouts that don't quite line up with the folded ears, so the tips poke through like tiny spooky horns. Amber eyes peer out with a look of mild offense. The carpeted living room is dim and cozy, with a warm lamp glowing in the corner, a grey blanket on the floor, and a small pumpkin tucked beside the cabinet.

Scottish Folds are known for their rounded faces and unique folded ears, a trait that comes from a genetic mutation affecting cartilage. Responsible care for the breed includes regular vet check-ups, since the same gene can be linked to joint and bone concerns in some cats. They are often sweet-natured and people-oriented. Be careful with homemade costumes using loose fabric: a sheet can slip over the eyes, tangle around legs, or trap heat, so supervise closely and take it off if the cat panics. Always make sure the holes are generous enough for clear vision and breathing, and keep sessions very short.

Let's say this is Casper, though he is not feeling especially friendly at the moment. He stands with great solemnity in the lamplight, a cream and white phantom of the living room. A real haunting probably wouldn't be this polite, or this fluffy.
