The Foldex breed appeared after crossbreeding of the Scottish Fold with the Exotic Shorthair. These cats have folded ears, like those of Scottish Folds, which are determined by the same dominant gene. This means, that straight-eared species do occur in litters. These cats have heavily-boned and well-set bodies, and they have well-rounded heads, which make them look like owls. The Foldex has a mild, sweet and loving disposition, and it is fairly playful.
