The Scottish Fold Cat

Scottish Fold is a cat breed that is made remarkable by its unique ears. As the name suggests the ears of the cat are folded forward and downward. In earlier cats there was only one fold, however, newer members of the breed often have two to three creases. The ears are a result of genetic mutation and the first cat of this type was reported in Scotland in early nineteen sixties. The kitten was born in a litter of otherwise normal house cats. Ensuing breeding of the female cat indicated the dominant nature of the altered gene and thereafter it was formally developed for the purpose of creation of a unique breed. Scottish Folds were imported in United States a decade later and were recognized by major feline breed registration bodies in the coming years. They are still not recognized in the British Isles though.

Even as the modern Scottish Fold was created primarily through crossing with American and British Shorthairs, it is seen in both short and longhair versions. The coat is generally accepted in all colors and patterns except for the pointed variant. Build is medium with an average weight of eight to ten pounds. Head is rounded and flat on top with widely spaced big bright eyes, a short nose and the characteristic folded ears. The ears begin to fold within the first month of life. Not all kittens have folded ears. Some are born with straight ears and retain this trait. This is owing to the fact that if two 'folded' cats are used for parenting, the resulting kittens invariably suffer from a joint anomaly that can be both painful and debilitating. Therefore 'folded' and 'straight' eared cats are crossed for breeding purposes and as a result litters usually are mixed.

Scottish Folds are not accepted by major British cat fanciers to date. This is owing to the above mentioned hereditary disorder as well as the unusual anatomy of their ears which leads many to believe that these cats are prone to development of ear infections and hearing deficit. Generally though the Folds are healthy and compact cats who live well into their teens if provided with normal health care and affection.

Sweet and quiet cats, Scottish Folds are blessed with a very pleasant personality. They are gentle and tolerant of other family members. They love to play and are energetic but prefer to cuddle next to their humans the most.

Folding Round Q&A

how much money is a Chinese paratrooper SKS rifle with 420 rounds of 7.62x39 ammunition and 4-high cap magazines worth?

Is the folding stock, bayonet, four U.S. steel 30 round magazines and 420 rounds of Sellier and Bellot 7.62x39 ammunition. The entire rifle is in excellent condition. Factoring in the high cost of ammunition, and 4 high capacity magazines, the amount of money is worth the total package? Check my stats, I always select the best answer.

Well let's start with the easy part. The ammunition is worth about $ 160. The only magazines worth about $ 15 each, as they do in the U.S.. If they were foreigners who had made a $ 5 plus $ 10 and Bulgarians. The rifle is the most difficult if the author of the aftermarket and have not yet original wood actually lower the price. In original terms ranging between $ 350 and $ 500 in any condition of not less than $ 200. So their ammunition and magazines are worth $ 200 to $ 220 and the gun can only be the judge, if you only have an ATI folder you maybe $ 275 to $ 325 and if you have the wood stock and cover gas pipe maybe $ 450 to $ 500 if it is clean. Not having the original population hurts the value.

Difference between .30 cal .. 308 ... 30 to 06 rounds?

I have two .30 cal carbines, one M 1 is the M 1 A 1 folding stock model. Fun to shoot guns fire all day. Want to purchase an M1 Garand (I do not care much about history factor), but rather as a new model. What is closer the.30 cal round to the 308 or 30-06? Thanks. Do you have any clue on where to buy a similar new M1 Garand.

Both rounds are the most powerful the .30 carbine round. The funny thing is that they are all 0.30 caliber cartridges, the difference is in the case length, and muzzle energy. Of the two mentioned above, the 0308 is the lower power round, but not by much. (It's also cheaper if you ...) The best way to get a M1 Garand good these days is through the Civilian Marksmanship Program (Yes, its a government sponsored program to provide people with battle rifles discount, you must touch something short Bloomberg 'horrible).
