Theses two lovely kittens below come from Japan. Their owner has been taking pictures of them since they arrived in their new home. Japanese people have a penchant for cats especially the Scottish fold besides the Japanese Bobtail. [See Tama, the first feline corporate executive in the world]
This brother and sister pair were born on March 1, 2008, Scottish fold, but their ears are not folded. Their pictures are so beautiful. You can visit the owner’s website here (not translated Japanese version here) All the pictures are taken by guremike.

There is nothing to suggest that these are Scottish Fold cats. As cute as they may be, Scottish Folds they are not.
See how their ears don’t fold? Mixed breeds if anything.
Not all Scottish fold ears actually fold until they are a little older. Not only that even as adults they don't thicken and fold either. If I remember my statistic it's only 3 or 4 of 10 that actually fold.
As the post at the top of the page states, Scottish Folds are produced by crossing a Fold with another breed of cat. Otherwise, one in four kittens (about one per litter) will be born with a bone disorder. These cats do look like Folds! Look how round they are! They have the dome shaped heads, short necks, broadly spaced eyes and that "sweet expression." Maybe you should so a little research before writing such an ill-informed post.

I own a female Scottish Fold here in Japan. These kittens look to be non-folded scottish folds. As the other person commented already, not all Scottish Fold kittens have folded ears (but retain the other characteristics that Folds have). All Folds are born with straight ears, then some begin to fold within their first few weeks of age.
You can tell non-folded Folds by the rounded faces, body type, demeanor and penchant for sleeping on their backs. They also tend to be very quiet vocally, subdued in manner advery good at adapting to change.
Because Scottish Folds must be bred fold x non-fold to prevent a very severe joint defect, there will always be many non-folded eared Scottish Folds.
these cats are gorgeous!! Omg I want one sooooo badly now! I love them!
Hi Me,
There are scottish fold kitties with straight ears since one of their parents has straight ears. You can’t breed them with both folded-eared cats coz it would cause some genertic disease.
anyhow, I always like the ones with straight ears because they are just so adorable.
Hi Tara,
All Scottish Folds are born with straight ears, once they get older the ears will start to fold. So it’s possible, since these are kittens, that they just haven’t developed a full fold in their ears.
KITTIES!! My EX husband sent me this link. It doesn’t quite make up for the 19 years of HELL he put me through, but, atleast he knows I *LOVE* Cats. Beautiful pictures! Domo Gozaimasu!
Adorable!! I love them both
absolutely delightful set of images! Some of the best I`ve seen,keep it up, the cats are gorgeous!
These are some of the best pics of kittens I’ve seen in a long time and I’m always trying to find good pics of kitties. It’s easy to see that someone is taking very good care of these babies!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don’t you just love cats?
OMG…LOOK AT THE CUTER THEN CUTE PURRBUGS…I NEED A CUTE FIX THANKS! MEOW
The ear will either fold or not around the 21st day of their lives. These kittens are way too old to ever fold. You will know before you ween them whether or not they will fold and how tight the fold is going to be. True you breed a fold with one that is not folded, but you do not mix breeds, though these probably have been as their faces are not as flat as a pure Scottish Fold. In the back breeding of this adorable breed is a Persian line causing the flatter face, but not the caved in look of the Persians. Another throwback is that they will occasionally have the long hair. They are now recognized as their own breed and are absolutely beautiful. Still the darlings are awfully Cute!
Your cats are so gorgeous!!! They have such personality! You are an excellent photographer to capture their personalities so beautifully.
You two are characters-I hope that you always have each other.
Awwe that is so adorable ! <3
I love scottish fold…they have unique personality!! And these kittens is soooooo cute!!!
Absolutely adorable! I can't think of a better word to describe them.
They make me want to adopt another kitten so much!!
rocket team
These two are darling. I love their curling up together.
Great photographer! It seems to me, according to the internet articles, the gene doesn’t always pass on to offspring as it is a recessive gene, rare.
OMG.. they’re just super-adorable.. Unique expression and personality!
sweet kittens!
