Purrsonality

The personality of the Gaelic Fold is engaging & interactive, very outgoing & friendly, these guys love to get lots of attention from their owners (slaves) and are ofter found wherever you are. Their short legs are not a hindrance. they are very clever at evaluating heights & what they can achieve in a jump. Often when they realize that something may be too high , they look around for the scenic cross-country route.

Smart & inquisitive they are great with children & other animals.
