The Scottish Fold is a breed of cat with a round face and distinctive, forward-folded ears. In 1961, a kitten was born with a mutation that gave it a fold in the ears, and this cat's descendents eventually were used in a breeding program in the United States, establishing the breed. Scottish Folds can be short- or long-haired, and have straight or folded ears. This paper craft model is based on a short-haired, folded-ear Scottish Fold kitten.
