Foldex kitten with a blue spotted tabby coat

The Foldex cat, also known as the Exotic Fold,[1] is a rare breed of cat developed in the Canadian province of Quebec. Currently, the breed is recognized by only one cat registry, the Canadian Cat Association.[2] Foldexes are medium-sized cats with a rounded face, short legs, and folded ears. The latter are the defining feature of the breed. Their eyes are well-rounded and wide open, with pair of ears with small and smooth-edged tips. Their coats vary from long to short hair, and are naturally dense and soft. They are sweet with charming personalities, and are active and cheerful cats who enjoy being petted.[3]

Origin

The Foldex was developed in the province of Quebec, Canada. It was originally produced by crossbreeding a Scottish Fold with an Exotic Shorthair, resulting in a cat with a moderate fold to its ears.[2]
