The Foldex cat, also known as the Exotic Fold,[1][unreliable source] is a breed of cat developed in the Canadian province of Quebec. The breed is recognized by one cat registry, the Canadian Cat Association.[2] The foundation stock of the breed is the Scottish Fold and the Exotic Shorthair. Foldexes are medium-sized cats with a rounded face, short legs, and folded ears. The latter are the defining feature of the breed. Their eyes are well-rounded and wide open, with pair of ears with small and smooth-edged tips. They are described as intelligent and sweet.[citation needed] They were first registered as New Breed by the Canadian Cat Association in 2006 and then finally granted the Championship status in 2010.
