Yep! It’s called osteochondrodysplasia. That super cute ear fold is a direct result of a cartilage malfunction. Which would be fine if it ONLY affected cartilage in the ear, but it doesn’t. It affects cartilage development throughout the body, causing severe defects in the limb bones and arthritis. It can be extremely painful for the cat. I’ve personally seen cases of scottish fold kittens with ingrown claws because they literally can’t use their paws properly.
There are scottish folds WITHOUT this defect; straight-eared Scottish folds exist and they live perfectly fine lives. They keep the super cute round face shape of traditional folds, but have normal ears.
a famous example of a Scottish Straight is Maru the box cat!
Hey everyone, so you know organizations like UNICEF and whatnot that allow you to buy the kind of gifts where you donate mosquito nets or something in a person’s name? Well a lot of those organizations will let you donate vaccines, as it turns out. Like, right now on UNICEF’s site, providing 100 polio vaccines to kids in need is 19 USD. And I’m not saying you should buy it and then send a card to an anti-vax relative saying you’ve provided lifesaving vaccinations in their name, but actually that’s exactly what I’m saying
As a cat owner, I can confirm 50% of the time I am kissing my cats soft head and telling her how much she means me, and the other 50% I’m angrily telling her not to eat plastic
My monthly check didn’t come because I have to get recertified re SSI, and my depression has been acting up due to not only the change in weather but also due to no Internet to distract me. My past due balance (what I need to pay to get my wifi back up) is $332.26 but overall it’s $514.93. My paypal is girlwatershaman@gmail.com and any amount will do. I just don’t want the bill to keep growing…
Seriously, I don’t want this hanging over my head during the holidays…
