Squatting cats

This link on YAHOO! Japan with funny cat pictures was brought to my attention. YAHOO! Japan has a contest for the best photos of cats sitting in a certain funny (squatting) way:
The title reads "Sko-suwari contesto, neko gentei" (in Japanese: 「スコ座り」コンテスト【ねこ限定】). In English, if I dare try:

"Scottish-fold-style sitting contest, for cats."
Suko-suwari got me curious, and after googling it on a few Japanese blogs, I learned that it is a made-up phrase that refers to the peculiar sitting style of Scottish Fold cats.
