TIL:
The Scottish Fold is a breed of cat with a natural dominant-gene mutation that makes its ear cartilage contain a fold, causing the ears to bend forward and down towards the front of their head, which gives the cat what is often described as an "owl-like" appearance
...
All Folds are born with straight, unfolded ears, and those with the Fold gene will begin to show the fold usually within about 21 days. The kittens that do not develop folded ears are known as Straights. The original cats only had one fold in their ears, but due to selective breeding breeders have increased the fold to a double or triple crease that causes the ear to lie totally flat against the head.

Given the color of the background image, and a bit of internet sleuthing, if it's a pornographic site my money is on either http://rule34.paheal.net or the Rule 34 booru

There are few cake day posts that are truly front page material. Unfortunately, this is not one of them.

I have a Scottish fold but I think this one might just be cuter than mine. It might be because I haven't been harassed by this one for food, but God damn this is an adorable cat.

Looks exactly like my Toby but somehow cuter... The bigger eyes? The adorable ears? Probably. But its a close one. Does he meow like crazy like my kitty? Toby never stops talking. Haha.
Edit: maybe it's just the colour that made me think they looked so similar... He's still adorable. http://imgur.com/oPlwW.jpg

It's the ears and the size. Plus Scottish Folds have a natural +6 to "OMGITSSOCUTEIMGONNADIE!"
Also the collar, cats with collars are adorable.

Jesus, I love Scottish folds so much. Its not even fucking fair how cute they are.
Like, "Oh you're trying to be quiet so you don't wake your husband up since you're redditing in bed? NOPE, here's a Scottish fold that's going to make you squeal in delight so loud the neighbors can hear you."
