Radio 4 in Four

The British Vetinary Association is warning that the Scottish Fold Cat - loved by celebrity owners like Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran for their small floppy ears - are the result of a genetic condition that causes them to have short and painful lives, and therefore shouldn't be bred from. Winifred Robinson finds out more about the internet's favourite cat. First broadcast on You & Yours, 13 April 2017.
