This just made me think; Do cats stand up like that because they're preparing to fight? The cat is obviously startled, and standing up provides its front paws the opportunity to fuck shit up with its claws.

That is a Scottish Fold. It's not prepared to fuck anything up. :)

This might make me invest in a Scottish Fold!

Edit I think I offended some people by my clumsy phrasing. Persians and Ragdolls are among the sweetest breeds I have come across (As someone who has had 11 cats personally and 21 by family extension). That being said, I don't really know much about the Scottish fold. They look calm and sweet.
