Scottish fold

Known for it's folded down ears and soulful eyes, the Scottish Fold cat is a well behaved and amiable cat that is surprisingly hardy. Feeding yours a good balanced premium cat food diet of high biological value protein and fat can keep it that way. I would suggest, however, that since the Scottish Fold is particularly susceptible to ear mites, you should supplement its daily diet with garlic (1/8 teaspoon) and brewers yeast or torula yeast. If ear mites are present, you'll need a special medication from the veterinarian to kill them. In any event, cleaning your cat's ears once a week with a cotton swab dampened in a mild hydrogen peroxide solution is a must for averting serious potential problems. Exercise will help keep the Scottish Fold Cat's compact, firm, muscular bodies healthy.
