Scottish Fold

With their adorable ears and cute appearance, Scottish Folds can sometimes be deceitful. Most of us can’t think of these cats as being aggressive. How could they be? Just look at them! 

Most of the time, they are not mean or aggressive if not provoked. For example, rubbing their belly or playing with them in a way that they dislike can make this cat angry and, in some instances, aggressive. Since they have some powerful paws, you should be careful when this happens. 

More than that, Scottish Folds are sometimes territorial and want to protect their private space by any means necessary. So, they might become violent towards other pets, more often dogs, or strangers that are invading their perimeter.

These felines also need a lot of attention, and if you are not home for longer periods of time, be prepared to find a mess when you come back.
