Welcome to the breeding hobby! It’s a rewarding but challenging journey that involves ethical practices, breed standards, and your cats’ well-being. As a Scottish Fold breeder, I’ve learned the importance of understanding genetic risks, like osteochondrodysplasia, and the need for health testing and DNA screenings. Responsible breeding ensures the health and happiness of your cats, so be ready for the commitment it requires.

It’s never pleasant to discover that your cat has started peeing outside their litter box. Once you've ruled out medical reasons with a vet, there are still several potential causes for this behavior. It could be stress, a dirty litter box, or changes in the environment. Sometimes, cats may also mark their territory. Understanding these factors will help you address the issue and guide your cat back to proper litter box habits. ​

Adopting a kitten is exciting, but it’s vital to make informed choices for their health and well-being. Avoid impulse decisions and backyard breeders; take time to understand responsible breeding practices.

Cats come in a stunning array of colors and patterns, making each one unique. The Easy Mind System (EMS), used by TICA and others, simplifies how breeders and enthusiasts classify cat coats. Let’s explore common colors and patterns and how EMS codes work!
