Connect with Scottish Straight owners for ethical breeding. Essential for producing healthy Scottish kittens with straight or folded ears, avoiding genetic health issues.
Scottish Straights are genetically identical to Scottish Folds except for their ear shape. With normal, upright ears, they avoid the cartilage problems (osteochondrodysplasia) associated with the fold gene. Scottish Straights are essential for ethical Fold breeding programs - they can produce both straight and folded ear kittens when bred with Folds, but should NEVER be bred Fold to Fold. This makes Scottish Straights crucial for maintaining the health and future of the Scottish breed.

Essential knowledge for ethical Scottish breed programs
Scottish Straights are genetically identical to Scottish Folds except for the ear gene. They carry diverse genetics that can produce both straight and folded ear offspring.
Scottish Straights are crucial for maintaining healthy Scottish Fold breeding programs.
Male Cats
12-18 months to 8 years
Female Cats
12-18 months to 7 years
Wait until full maturity and health testing completion before first breeding. Scottish breeds mature slowly.
Comprehensive health testing ensures healthy kittens and maintains breed integrity.
Careful pair selection is essential for producing healthy, well-tempered kittens.
NEVER breed Scottish Fold to Scottish Fold. This pairing produces kittens with two copies of the fold gene (homozygous), causing severe skeletal deformities and painful arthritis.
Scottish Straights are essential for maintaining ethical Fold breeding programs and producing healthy kittens.

We were successful in finding a mate. The platform has been great. Wishing there were more cats options. Seems it hasn’t changed since we’ve been on.

We found a lovely female cat through Petmeetly, and she mated with our male cat. We’re now expecting kittens soon! We also discovered another perfect candidate—our male cat has already mated with one, and will mate with the other once she reaches maturity. We’re so glad to have this platform—it truly helped us find the right matches

Generally healthier than Folds but still requires careful health monitoring
Genetic testing is essential before breeding. Both parents should be tested for PKD gene mutations. Affected cats should not be bred. Regular ultrasound screening recommended for breeding cats even if genetically clear.
Annual cardiac ultrasounds by veterinary cardiologist recommended for breeding cats. Test before first breeding and yearly thereafter. Remove affected cats from breeding programs immediately.
Scottish Straights have straight ears, avoiding the cartilage problems associated with the folded ear gene. They do not suffer from osteochondrodysplasia, making them generally healthier than their Fold counterparts.
Scottish Straights can be bred with Scottish Folds to produce both straight and folded ear kittens. NEVER breed two Folds together - always use a Straight parent to avoid homozygous fold gene complications.
Scottish Straights can be prone to weight gain due to their calm nature and hearty appetite. Monitor food intake, provide measured portions, and encourage play to maintain healthy weight.
Regular dental care is important. Annual dental cleanings recommended. Home dental care with brushing or dental treats helps prevent periodontal disease.
Unlike Scottish Folds, Straights have normal ear structure requiring only routine cleaning. Check ears weekly for wax buildup or signs of infection.
Blood type testing recommended before breeding. Type B is more common in Scottish breeds than other cats. Incompatible blood types can cause neonatal isoerythrolysis in kittens.
Scottish breeds have a higher incidence of blood type B compared to other cat breeds. This makes blood typing essential before breeding to prevent neonatal isoerythrolysis (NI).
