Misa

October 26, 2009

Linda says: Misa is our little dust bunny. We suspect that she's not entirely cat, or she's a cat from another dimension. She sings when she wants food. The voice is clear and the pitch is high. The very end of her tail behaves like a rattlesnake when she's playful.

It was a hot summer day ten weeks ago when we first met Misa at Tinja's Cattery in Neutrebbin (Berlin two hours by train from our home) where Martina Gottwald breeds Scottish Fold kittens. She was the last kitten of her litter and we just had to take her home. We knew that she'd require a lot of work since she was scared and super shy, so it's been rewarding to see the courageous transformation from a shy ball of fluff to the furry tank cat she is today. Misa puts up a fair fight with her big brother Mokona nowadays since she's almost the same size with paws three times bigger than Mokona's. She loves her brother so much that she purrs like the engine of a sports car whenever he enters a room.

She's gorgeous! But what happened to her ears later in life? They lost their fold!

Linda Gavin - 14 years, 6 months ago

They're not folded anymore! Is she a Brit now then???

It's my understanding that not all kittens born to a Scottish Fold mother cat will have folds in their ears, but these offspring are still considered Scottish Folds.

The YouTube sensation "Maru" is a Scottish Fold who has non-folded ears.
