Everyone teases me for being overweight. In fact, I’m not. Scottish Fold cats have round bodies and very thick fur, which give us a roly-poly appearance.

From a bird’s-eye view, you can see that I’m really not a “wide load.”

But from every other photo angle… I look like a round ball of fluff!

Here’s an etiquette lesson about proper postures for cats. When we lie down on our side, what do we do with our front paws?

Crude kitties will leave their paws sprawled wide open, like this. It’s a no-no.

A gentleman cat must fold in one paw over the other.

Remember, it’s important to sit with paws crossed.

I like to creep up on people and poke half my face past the doorway. I’m as short as a munchkin, so they don’t notice me.

As soon as I’m spotted, I turn away quickly…

… and walk away, tail swishing in satisfaction!

Streettttch!

When I nap, I press my short nose and face against the back of the chair.

And I stretch out my body so that it fills the entire space. You could mistake me for a cushion!

From time to time, I open my eyes, still half-asleep…

I’ll yawn and move my big paws…

And then I fall right back into slumber. Zzzzzz….

Here’s my strategy for guarding the house. I’ll pretend I’m asleep or dead, with paws in the air.

But in fact, my eyes and whiskers are fully alert.

My little fold-ears will flip back when I hear a robber trying to break open the door…

And I’ll WAHHH WAHHH WAHHH until he runs away scared!

Who needs a guard dog to keep the house safe at night? Scottish Fold cats can do the same job, and we can see in the dark! (Look at my scary eyes.)

I’ll sit in front of the door all night, to make sure mommy is safe.

Maybe I’ll lie on my back, instead of my side…

Hmm, I’m getting a little tired…

I guess this is why people use dogs to guard their houses. Cats fall asleep too easily!

I’m a curious bear. Whenever I see the closet door open, I use my big paw to open it wider…

… and in I go. Naptime!

Two perfectly round heads are better than one.

Scottish Fold kittens are extra curious… you never know where they might end up.

Or what mischief they’ll partake in.

Thank goodness for nap time!

Look at my beautiful fur and body shape. I’m certainly a special cat, aren’t I?

When I lie down on the windowsill…

I look like a furry yellow caterpillar!

I’ve even got the antenna.

This cat-erpillar is going to turn into a cocoon soon…

Eeee, my mommy got me a mouse pillow from Japan! It says “Love Kick” on it.

I love mice and the color blue…

… so of course I want to cuddle with my new friend.

Hours later, it’s night-time… and we’re both fast asleep! Aww!
