For whatever reason, bovines have recently captured my affection. However, from remembering my childhood days on a farm, I wouldn't want the responsibilities of caring for one.

Maybe you could find a cow yoga place. It would be like goat yoga, but with cows. And mooing.

Scottish Folds are so named because their ears are folded down, like this:

However, about 30% - 50% of the cats do not have folded ears. They are referred to as "peak-eared" or "straight-eared" and look like this:

They have the same pushed-in round face, but their ears don't fold.

 

When breeding, you always have to breed a peak- and folded-ear or two peak-eared cats. Two folded-ear cats can yield kittens that have spine issues and brittle bones.

 

I haven't migrated all of my photos off my Mac to my PC yet, else I'd post a pic of Willy and his sister, Hillary. Once I do, I'll post it.

Was Willy altruistic too?

 

I don't know if you know Curious Zelda (she's on Twitter), but she looks like my previous cat would have if she had bulging eyes.

This is Curious Zelda.

The other difference between Sofia and Zelda is that Sofia had a white-tipped tail.
