Is My Cat Scottish Straight?

[endoqt]

The breeder said she's a scottish straight, but i've no pedigree so i'm not sure about it. Can you anyone help?

Maybe? She has the big round eyes so I don't see why not. But without a pedigree there's no way to know for sure.

She is very cute! Without pedigree papers, she would be described as a brown mackerel tabby (possibly torbie) domestic shorthair. Her head type does have some of the extreme features typical of Scottish Fold/Straight cats (large wide-open eyes, short nose and muzzle, rounded head), so she does look like she could be at least part Scottish Fold/Straight. Purebred Scottish Fold/Straight cats are usually more chubby in the body and legs than she is, though.

She’s adorable! I love her big, round eyes! Without pedigree papers, she would be called a Domestic Shorthair. But, I do think that she could have at least some Scottish Straight ancestry, since she has a flatter muzzle and round head.

What if she's just skinny? Can that be the case?

Sorry, maybe "chubby" wasn't the most precise term to use... Scottish Fold/Straight cats usually have heavier bone structure, relatively thick short legs, broad chests, short bodies, etc., similar to British Shorthairs (because British Shorthairs were used in the development of the breed).
