Cat Breeds #6 (F)

The Foldex Cat

The Foldex cat, also known as the Exotic Fold, 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. 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. They are sweet with charming personalities, and are active and cheerful cats who enjoy being petted. They were first registered as New Breed by the Canadian Cat Association in 2006 and then finally granted the Championship status in 2010.
