The Scottish Fold Poet Finished His Favorite Line and Waited
Folded ears, round amber eyes and silver stripes give this Scottish Fold poet a quietly serious look. He wears a plain grey coat over a cream waistcoat and a soft white cravat, and in one white-gloved paw he holds a small open book. The painting is dark and quiet, with a green drape and an old cracked surface, and his pale face seems to glow in the dim light. He looks out as though he has just finished reading a favorite line and is waiting for the applause.
The Scottish Fold's folded ears come from a natural gene change that affects the cartilage in the ears, and the same change can affect cartilage in the joints, so responsible owners and vets watch for stiffness or discomfort. Talk to your vet if you notice your cat moving less freely. Folds are known to be sweet, calm cats that love to be near their people. They often enjoy sitting in funny positions, watching the world from a favorite spot, and playing gently with wand toys.
The poet seems peaceful and proud of his latest verses, which are probably about breakfast and sunlight. His quiet presence fills the room, and every listener sits still to catch the words. Even if the book is only a few pages long, it is full of feeling.
