3905.0. "Scottish Folds in Cat Fancy" by CRUISE::NDC (Putiput Scottish Folds - DTN: 297-2313) Wed Aug 15 1990 09:46

    Has anyone seen this month's Cat Fancy?  The featured breeds are
    the SCOTTISH FOLD and the American Curl.  I particularly liked the
    following:
    
    "The Scottish FOld is one breed that is suited to anyone's taste.
    Folds are as interesting to own as they are to look at.  They spend
    their waking hours investigating everything around them.  A Scottish
    Fold can be found on the page of the newspaper or magazine you are
    trying to read, behind the door you have just closed, under your feet
    as you are trying to walk, hidden in the basket of laundry you are
    trying to fold and in the middle of the bed you are trying to make."
    
    I found this last line particularly appropriate as we were trying
    to make the bed this morning with SEVEN scottish folds helping. 
    The regular Bonnie, Dundee & 5 kittens.
    :-)))))))

	Nancy, I got my issue last night... great article! The Folds featured are very nice. The cover cat has very nicely folded ears, and Dana wanted to know what an owl was doing on the cover of Cat Fancy! I like the folded ears better than the curly ears. --Roberta (who WILL have a Fold someday; just not in the near future :*} )
3905.2	Cat Fancy does have good articles....	BOOVX2::MANDILE		`Wed Aug 15 1990 11:24`	9
	Sounds just like the story they had a while back on Korats. They have a lot of the same purrsonality traits. Except the folded ears, of course! :-) Lynne (who would also like a Fold someday, with/w/out folded ears!) >> actually, who would like 1 or 2 of every kind someday! <<

	Nancy, The only thing they didn't list was the "stubborn" trait :-) Bernice Who_can_still_out_stubborn_a_cat

	re: .3 - Yes and they were entirely too polite in their explanation of how bratty they are. :-) They didn't use the word brat in their explaination but us fold parents know what they meant. I'm going to post the cover picture on my wall as a goal. Of course, I want bigger eyes than that. Dundee's eyes are considerably larger. Now if I could just get him to open them all the way at the shows!
3905.5	nice putiputs	NAVIER::BRODEUR		`Thu Aug 16 1990 14:10`	5
	YES, saw the article and thought of you right away. I didn't really know anything about this type of cat before except in connection with your notes. I won't let my 5 year old see the picture or she may try to use Scotch tape on one of our cats ears and call it a Scotch Fold (she's starting to read some).
3905.6		CRUISE::NDC	Putiput Scottish Folds - DTN: 297-2313	`Fri Aug 17 1990 12:32`	3
	re: scotch tape - Well, we have friends who call the cats "scotch fold-overs". I guess that's what you'd have if your 5 yr old taped your cat's ears :-))
3905.7	Now I know!	SA1794::DOWSEYK	Kirk Dowsey 243-2440	`Fri Aug 17 1990 14:02`	4
	WOW!!! now I know what Jesse is!!! SCOTCH FOLD-OVER (well half-way). Kirk+7
3905.8	OWLS!	CGOO01::LMILLER	hasten slowly	`Fri Aug 17 1990 14:24`	3
	I too thought of you when I saw the mag. - Nancy. They really look like little owls. I thought mine looked like tufted owls but those guys look, well realistic ....
3905.9		WR1FOR::BROMARTH	It's no tribble at all!	`Fri Aug 17 1990 22:39`	14
	Yes. Immediately when I received my copy I thought of you and your cats, Nancy! In fact, since you write in this conference a lot, I've made a point to pay attention to articles about Scottish Folds. I even decided that I would like to own one if the occasion ever arises! In fact, I would like to own a variety of pure breed cats, but whenever I walk into a Humane Society, I end up with a purry, furry, pound puti-tat. Theresa (a Terran humanoid) Altaira (my female torbie) Darcy (a grey tabby, A.K.A Indiana Jones) Merlin (a seal-point siamese-x, w/ blue, blue eyes)

	Kirk - We have always referred to Jesse as "Half-a-fold".
