In this video, I discuss the highly controversial Scottish Fold breed. These are incredibly cute and are famous for their bunny-like appearance. They gained popularity due to celebrities like Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran. However, they are extremely prone to a health issue called Feline Osteochondrodysplasia. This is a hereditary disease that affects the cartilages of the ears. Sadly, it also affects all other cartilages in the body. Because the cartilages aren't strong enough, affected cats grow bone tissue near their joints. In time, this issue lead to excruciating pain and reduced mobility. This is the reason why this breed is so controversial. In this video, I analyze the risks of a Scottish Fold developing FOCD and I also explain what feline osteochondrodysplasia means. Hope it helps!

Cats, cats, and even more cats! This channel's goal is to become a resource for all cat lovers and cat owners out there. I also want to help new cat owners with all the information they need.

✅Who am I?

A crazy cat lady who loves to know as much as possible about cats and share that information with anyone interested.
I think cats are amazing, and they don't deserve the bad reputation they sometimes have. I really want to help change this!

You'll find older videos with my voice (and sometimes my husband's). Lately, however, I've decided to work with professional voice-over artists to make sure my message is as clear as possible.

We'll still do all the research, scripting & editing. If you enjoy my videos, please consider subscribing.
