A lot of people can’t believe I’m a real cat.

From every angle, I look like a perfectly round ball of fluff.

It’s only when I sit up and show my angry face… then you know I’m a kittycat!

Short feet…

Big body…

No ears, no nose…

Yellow fur and eyes…

Soft pink pads on my feet.

That’s me, Basil Farrow!

Don’t you know I’m a ninja?

Come watch adorable Scottish Fold videos on our YouTube channel!

Wahh! Lily from Germany sent me these photos of her Scottish Fold baby, named Donnatella.

“She’s a purebred with the color light lilac. She turned one year old last June 6th.”

“She is also one round-faced baby.”

Unlike Basil Farrow, Donnatella can sit with both paws tucked under her! (Basil’s feet are too short and sideways…)

I love her solid light grey (lilac) color and tiger-striped tail.

Scottish Folds are so round! If you’d like to submit photos of your Scottish Fold to appear on this blog, please click here.

Not only are there cat magazines, but full-color cat books about Scottish Folds.

This kitten looks a bit like Basil Farrow…

Big eyes, big feet.

Scottish Fold + Munchkin = double the cuteness.

Take away the ears and… wahhh!

Scottish Fold are big in Japan.

There are several cat magazines in circulation, and you’ll always find baby Scottish Fold kittens on the pages.

Which baby fold is your favorite?

Would you dress up your cat in a fancy prince costume?

How many Scottish Folds could you live with before going crazy or dying from inhaling too much cat hair?

Apparently, the answer is 258…

Mommy got a new camera, a Canon Powershot 90.

The lens makes my feet look gigantic!

You can see that my delicate pink pads have never stepped outdoors…

Do you think this innocent face could survive in the wild?

I may look like a lion-bear…

But this is as close as I’ve ever come to catching a mouse.

Hey, at least I caught it!

“Sittin’ down by my window, honey, lookin’ out at the rain.”

No ears, no nose… and no friends?

Wahh where are all the other kitties today?

Tokyo is suffering from Scottish Fold Mania! Every cat cafe advertises that there’s a flop-eared kitten inside.

You can buy Scottish Fold cat calendars and other merchandise.

In Japan, there are plenty of ways to spoil your kitty. How about pet clothes…

… and cute designer toys? Maoo!

Wahhh! I’m so proud of my Scottish Fold cat Basil Farrow — he was scouted by the producers of “Cats 101″ show! So you’ll be seeing him on the “Fat Cats” TV episode, airing on Animal Planet / Discovery Channel this fall or early next year. (Til then, you can watch his sideways-feet on my YouTube channel.)

Let’s celebrate… by doing another grand giveaway. Remember when CSN Stores sent him this designer cat scratcher/lounge chair? The manufacturer, Marmalade, loved the photos so much that they’ve donated a new, identical “Cheeky Chaise” for you to win.

HOW TO ENTER…
† It’s hard to keep Basil Farrow from getting bored! Please leave me a comment, with suggestion(s) on how to keep my Scottish Fold entertained (games, toys, tricks etc). Much appreciated!
† Please add La Carmina on Twitter, Facebook Group and/or Facebook Page. Include the URL or your name/username in your comment for verification.

The contest is open to all residents of USA, Canada and Europe. You may only enter once and must fulfill both requirements to be eligible. Contest ends Weds, June 30th at midnight Pacific Time.

Everyone deserves a cuteness break, right? I uploaded a new Scottish Fold video (above and here). He stands up on his hind legs, demands tummy rubs, chases a Sega Zhu Zhu robot hamster, lounges on his fancy chair… doesn’t he look like a stuffed teddy bear? I also talk about distinctive Scottish Fold behaviors, the two things that scare Basil, and “truths about cats” that don’t apply to him.

Thanks for entering the contest — good luck, everyone! I’m certain your kitties will adore the prize. You can also find the Marmalade cat scratcher and other items for pampering your pets on CSN Store’s website.

Do your cats land lightly on their feet? Or do they make a big PLOP like Basil does in the video?

Every single cat cafe in Tokyo has at least one Scottish Fold… they’re extremely popular! This grey and white fold-eared kitty lives in the “cat petting zoo” on the top floor of Tokyu Hands Ikebukuro.

He wears a pretty heart necklace. Basil Farrow has no neck, so he can’t wear any sort of collar!

This fold also has long antenna coming out of his forehead…

He’s cute, but nobody is as round and earless as Basil Farrow.

Still, the Japanese girls were squealing over him!
