Advantages: The best companion you could hope for Disadvantages: The breeding
This is a review about a breed of cat which I am pretty sure most people have never heard off. Even if you have heard of the breed I am fairly certain you might not have seen one either.
How this breed came about
-----------------------------------
Well in 1961 in Perthshire, Scotland a shepherd by the name of William Ross noticed the first Scottish Fold cat on record at a farm near Coupar Angus. The cat had ears which appeared to be identical to how an owl might look which were folded. He decided to try and create the breed himself.
He then took the cat to be registered and they began this breeding program with 76 kittens being born over a four year period. Out of those 76 kittens 42 of them had folded ears and 34 didn't.

Advantages: Brilliant weepy Disadvantages: Had to keep wiping away tears to see
I watched this film a few weeks back. I have read some of her novels, so was already familiar with her, but didn't know much about her life.
