This relatively new cat with short legs has elf-like features and a dwarf-like stature with little legs.

They also respond well to being handled, which is lovely, as you’ll undoubtedly want to hold these cuties all day long.

The personalities of Munchkin cats are generally sweet, outgoing, and intelligent. So, if you are passionate about their little legs, your ethics needn’t be compromised. Also, they are not generally found to have more joint or bone problems than other cat breeds. However, most sources say that the shortness of their legs does not affect the Munchkin’s running and leaping abilities. This is in spite of the fact that these short-legged cats have a lifespan between 12 and 15 years. They were not considered an official breed for many years and were not allowed to take part in feline competitions.Įven today, there are a number of councils and associations that do not recognize the Munchkin cat. There is quite a lot of controversy surrounding these sweet-looking felines, as there is concern over potential health and mobility issues. It’s all about that short-legged gene mutation. For example, you can find a Scottish fold munchkin cat or even a Maine coon munchkin cat. Munchkin CatĬonsidered the original dwarf cat, the Munchkin cat breed is not exclusive and can be linked to a number of other breeds. This is why these little felines are also called the “sausage cat”. The munchkin’s dog counterpart is undoubtedly the sausage dog, as they share the short-legged trait. With teeny tiny short little legs and normal-sized bodies, these diverse cats are absolutely adorable. The Munchkin cat is everyone’s favorite cutie. Please scroll down for Suggested products.
