Why are the prices so different?
I’m often asked this question. Let me try to explain it as simply as possible.
As you know, the price is always made up of several components:
1. Type: this is probably the most important. There are kittens of different classes according to the informal division: pat, breed and show class;
2. Color: its quality, how rare and sought after it is;
3. Who the kitten is being bought for: therefore, when a request for a kitten comes in, the breeder always asks: as a pet or for breeding? An experienced breeder always knows which kitten is of interest for breeding and which is not. But often many people don’t understand the difference and want to pet an animal of breed class or, as you can then understand from the evaluation at the show, even show class. This is not forbidden, but you should realise that there will be a difference in price.
The bottom line: when forming the price, the breeder relies on the above three points. If you’re still interested in a kitten that is as close to the breed standard as possible, you need to understand that even as a pet it will have a different price. Cheaper than for breeding, but still has a different price, because kittens of great pedigree data aren’t born from all litters even from very good exhibition parents and from castration won’t become worse in appearance and will continue to please with their ideal beauty.

Breed Characteristics
The Scottish breed is presented in two
variants: Scottish Fold (cats with straight ears) and Scottish Straight (cats with folded ears). In kittens, it's only after three weeks it's determined who will become lop-eared and who will remain with straight ears.
variants: Scottish Fold (cats with straight ears) and Scottish Straight (cats with folded ears). In kittens, it's only after three weeks it's determined who will become lop-eared and who will remain with straight ears.
All kittens are initially born with straight ears and only after 3 weeks of age lop-eared cats have drooping ears.
They like to assume funny poses such as "gopher" or "Buddha"
Afraid of heights and don’t jump on cupboards and walls so you can stay safe for the furniture
Compliant and intelligent, not vindictive
Are social with cats, people and even dogs
Because of its large round eyes framed by a round head the breed is associated with owls
There are also the following varieties of the Scottish breed:
Highland Fold — lop-eared longhair
Highland Straight — longhaired cats with straight ears.
Highland Fold — lop-eared longhair
Highland Straight — longhaired cats with straight ears.
In terms of colors there are no unacceptable shades, so there are solid (monotone) colors, bicolors, tricolors with all varieties of patterns, tortoiseshell, and point — all these variants are recognised by felinological systems.

How to prepare for the arrival
How to prepare for the arrival of a kitten (cat) in your home?
This is the first question that worries many people who are thinking about acquiring a new family member.
First of all, it’s always advised to check with the breeder what things the pet uses, so that it’s easier for him to get used to a new home and the first time all things and products were as familiar as possible.
Let’s list the things you need to buy before taking the kitten:
Litter tray: make sure to ask what kind of litter tray was used before: open/closed, high/low, shape of the litter tray, etc. preferably with photo examples;
Filler: moving for a kitten or an adult cat is always stressful, so for the first few weeks it’s better to buy the same filler that the fluffy used to use before, so he will get used to the new litter box faster;
You also need at least 3 bowls: one always with water (if there is no fountain),
one for dry food and another one for wet food, meat or treats;
Food, or if the breeder's pet is on a completely natural diet — find out in advance in more detail what to buy and how to prepare it. For example, if it’s frozen meat, it should be kept in the freezer for another 10 days to kill dangerous germs and bacteria;
Scratching post: usually it’s a rather high post, but there are kittens who have already acquired a scratching post. In this case, the breeder will gladly share their preferences: vertical with ropes, horizontal cardboard, corner or any other.
Of the optional things right at the time of the move, but desirable for purchase in the near future:

Of the optional things right at the time of the move, but desirable for purchase in the near future:
Toys: perhaps the animal already has its own preferences, but in my practice I can say that cats often respond well to jingling bells on sticks, mice, etc;
Scratchers: we start from the structure and length of the hair which will have to be cared for;
Clipper: it’s better to consult with the breeder or find information on the Internet what exactly suits your cat’s breed and length of hair. Also, be sure to consider the age of the cat and don’t rush to cut claws at a young age;
Vitamins and mineral supplements: it’s better to check directly with your breeder as the cat may have already taken a course of vitamins and now needs a break for a month or more.
