The Foldex started as a cross between the Scottish Fold and the Exotic Shorthair somewhere around 1992. The Foldex has a shorter nose than the Scottish Fold but not as short as the Exotic Shorthair. For people who prefer shorter nose, this is the breed to go with. This breed is currently only accepted at the Canadian Cat Association (CCA), but is becoming more and more popular on each show.

The body of the Foldex is massive with good bone structure and short neck. The eye are well rounded and wide open. They have a round head view from every angle.

The Foldex look like a little furry owl. The temperament is sweet, loving and quiet, with some activity period.

As in the Scottish Fold, the Foldex ears are due to a dominant gene, and only breeding a folded ear cat with a straight ear cat is of prime importance to assure healthy kittens. Breeding two folded ears cats together will produce some bone deformities. It is very important to buy a Foldex or a Scottish Fold from a reputable breeder who will only breed fold ear cat to straight ear cat.

On average, half of the kittens will have folded ears. All the kittens are born with straight ears, and the ears will start to fold around 3 to 4 weeks-old.
