The Foldex breed is characterized by a medium build, strong muscles, short legs, and a short neck. They have a round face with wide-open eyes. Foldex cats are known for their small, folded ears with round tips, which have one crease that folds forward and downwards. It's important to note that only half of Foldex cats inherit the folded ears gene, known as Folded, while the other half have non-folded ears and are referred to as Straights. Straights have ears that grow straight in their adult stage like other cat breeds.
Folded kittens typically start to show a visible fold in their ears between 21 and 28 days old. The breed's coat can vary from long to short hair, and it is naturally dense and soft, coming in a variety of colors and patterns.
