Behavioral disorders of Scottish Folds. Other animals

Содержание

Based on my experience I can bring some examples of interaction of Scottish Folds with other different animals that had already been living in the house of new owners.

Story 1. A kitten of charming blue ticked color went to another city, and the owner was worried about how the kitten and the adult Spitz dog could adapt to each other. After all, the Scottish Folds are known to be extremely playful, active, and sociable. The same qualities are also shared by Spitz dogs. Thus, days later, I got a video of them both playing, running, and having fun together. The experience turned out to be positive. The correct socialization of the kitten played a key role in the example given; the upbringing of the Spitz dog and the position of the owner, who weighed all the risks and responsibly approached this issue made this case successful.

Story 2. The relationship of Scottish Folds and birds is a completely different story. There have been several cases of kittens entering the house with birds in my practice. Relations between pets developed to be very touching, Scottish Folds adore talking with birds, listening to their trills, watching them through a cage. But they never tried to reach out and grab the bird. Scottish Folds don't hurt their friends.

Story 3. One family decided to buy a purebred kitten in Rostov, but they had already had a rat as a pet. I had no such experience before, so the question was very urgent. The owners got acquainted with information on possible problems of the adaptation and decided that everything wasn't so terrible. What surprised them most was the fact that our kitten was watching the rat's actions with curiosity, without even trying to hunt it down. After all, the Scottish Folds perceive other animals as members of the pride, and people, by the way, too!/p>

Cats and the like

Story 4. A Scottish Fold kitten and an adult cat. This situation seems to be a way more complicated as a lot depends on the nature of the cat, the degree of its socialization, and the willingness of the hosts to go through the path of adaptation together with their animals. Newborn Scottish Fold kittens receive not only external signs (phenotype) and basic instincts but also the manner of behavior characteristic of the breed. Babies aged 3-4 months are very playful, sociable, incredibly positive, which may not be very pleasant to an adult female or male cat. This situation can be levelled by the participation of a person who has consciously assumed responsibility. The habituation of an adult animal to a newcomer usually takes 2 or 3 weeks./p>

Are there any violations?

Summarizing, we should mention that Scottish Folds are one of the few breeds that make a great living with other animals. In addition, small kittens are busy studying the world around them, very inquisitive, and extremely unsteady. Everything described helps them quickly adapt and become friends with other family members. The only difficulty I always warn future owners about is not to frighten the little Scottish Fold so that adaptation does not turn into stress. After all, kittens are very receptive and emotional.

It is quite right to say that Scottish Folds are very non-conflict and super friendly feline representatives, which definitely has a positive effect on the choice of future owners and the price of a Scottish Fold cat (as a family member with all these qualities) is very low.
