These are short-haired animals with a completely unusual structure of the shells of the ears, which look like crumpled folds. Such cats are called lop-eared. In Russia this breed is relatively new. The origin of the lop-eared kittens is from Scottish parents. The first time about the Scottish fold became known in 1959, when a cat named Suzy - white, with ears pressed together, appeared on one of the farms. In 1961 she, in addition to the usual kittens, gave birth to two with folded ears. So this breed began to spread.
