    Are 'scottish Straights' And British Shorthairs The Same Breed?

    I have a 3yo blue scottish fold named Tuffsen, he doesn't have the folded ear gene but five out of eight kittens from his litter do.

    7 month old kitten has two strange bald spots

    My seven month old blue british shorthair/scottish fold mix Tuffs has had two small bald spots on his side since we took him home at 4 months old.

She's an orange Maine coon who is very small for her age, she looks more like a four month old kitten than a seven month old kitten.  She purrs...
