Of course, they are. Playfulness is one of the features of this breed. That's the exact trait that attracts many owners. If you decide to buy a purebred kitten, we advise you to pay attention to the Scottish Fold breed.
They're so active and playful that they can constantly have fun with balls, mice, being distracted only by meals and sleep. They learn to hunt and, what's more, communicate with other animals with the help of these games. And it doesn't matter if these animals are siblings or others. After all, hunting is one of the main instincts of felines. But don't worry; if a Scottish Fold catches the victim, the cat will rarely lets its claws out when there's a hamster or a bird. They can analyze the situation and act according to it. Due to their level of development, this breed is excellent at distinguishing pets and considering them members of their flock. It's ok when young cats imitate hunting techniques (sneaking, stalking, biting, etc.) Our kittens observe the behavior of the hamster with particular interest, but they never grab the animal.
Real intellectuals
They never get tired of games at all, coming up with something new every time; they will pull a pen off the table, and not just drive it across the floor, but disassemble it in parts and drive it under the furniture. But the most interesting thing is that they will definitely remember where the pen is and will try to get it out; and if they cannot, then they will show the owner that they are very interested in something there because they are real intellectuals.
The Scottish Fold kittens do like various toys aimed at developing intellectual abilities, these are various pyramids, boxes in which balls or food are hidden, and all these need to be taken out. Sometimes they play even without toys, kittens do like watching water dripping from the tap, catching it, and trying to lick. Believe me, it's worth watching. We have a cat Thaya in our cattery, who even eats using her paw as cutlery.
Leisure and Entertainment
If your pet is often left alone, then this problem can be easily solved by arranging for it a small fitness room, which should consist of various sets, shells, scratching posts; the breed likes different shelves, houses, and ladders.
There is no need to draw the attention of a Scottish Straight to training, the cat is able to spend the leisure time in the playing area, although the animal won't be against having anybody around. Therefore, if you have a free minute, be sure to play with your cat, the pet will be extremely grateful. The cat will express it by purring, looking at you with huge eyes and a cute expression on the face, as if it understands everything.
Finally, you will be very surprised, but representatives of the Scottish Fold breed remain playful even when they grow up, which differs them from many other cat breeds.
