Susie

 
Susie is the original Scottish Fold, found in 1961 at a farm in Perthshire, Scotland. One of Susie’s kittens ‘Snooks’, (the only kitten capable of breeding, since the other was neutered) was bred with a male tabby cat. Susie was killed by a car several months after giving birth to her kittens, but she lives on through every Scottish Fold alive today.
