Scottish Fold cats are easy to care for. They are beautiful and adorable, with a quiet and gentle temperament, making them easy to get along with. Purebred Scottish Folds are intelligent and have good living habits; they don't scratch sofas, don't meow excessively, are generous and cute, don't need to be walked, and don't require daily baths, making them very suitable for families. However, Scottish Folds are born with a serious genetic defect that may lead to skeletal and joint problems. These conditions are incurable and can only be managed with medication. 
How to raise a Scottish Fold cat:
1. Scottish Fold cats are born with a genetic defect, making them relatively fragile. They require special care and love from their owners and are prone to catching colds and getting sick, so it's best to keep them warm.
2. Scottish Fold cats are prone to skeletal problems, which are often irreversible once they occur. Common issues include stiff bones, enlarged joints, leading to pain, difficulty walking, and even an inability to wag their tail properly. It is recommended that owners give them chondroitin sulfate and calcium supplements, and regularly massage their bones.
