It
arose through matings with British Shorthairs that carried a recessive longhair gene
("fluffies" are sometimes born to British Shorthairs). It produces both prick-eared and fold-
eared variants. Prick-eared Scottish Folds gave rise to the Scottish Shorthair in Queensland,
Australia. It has longer tail and legs, and different coat texture to the British Shorthair. It also
gave rise to the Scottish Longhair.
The British Longhair (Britanica, Lowlander) is a cat with the British Shorthair's conformation
but a semi-long coat and arose from the recessive longhair gene carried by some British
Shorthairs and which sometimes gives rise to "fluffies".
