What is Munchkin's cat?

Munchkin Cat is a cat with very short legs. It is a natural genetic mutation, which has been recorded many times throughout history, but has not been recognized as a real breed until the end of the 20th century. The short foot of the characteristics of the cat Munchkin is a natural occurrence, not something organized by humans, unlike many other cats and dogs of pure breeds. In addition to short legs, the Munchkin cat has a standard, medium -sized body and is similar to appearance and behavior as cats with unidentifiable heritage, often referred to as "moggies". In general, this species is very active, playful and loving if it receives sufficient attention and stimulation. Intelligent and reasonably easy to train, they still maintain an independent, stubborn string like many breed cats. They are also very social and will usually benefit from the presence of other domestic animals in the household.

Although the cat Munchkin has very short legs, podrThe study concludes that short bones of the legs do not have a negative impact on the health and quality of life of the breed. Despite the length of the legs, the Munchkin cat has excellent coordination skills and is considered to be an excellent hunter and climber. These cats can often be seen how they sit on the back legs to look around. The breed is also known as the Cat Magpie, because they are notorious by running away with the shiny objects you can play with.

Munchkin cats can have any type of coat, from long to short and coarse to silk, with any color or pattern. The breed was introduced from a very small number of animals, which were all cats of mixed breed, whose heritage was unidentifiable. The breed is likely to continue to have variations of the shape of the coat, head and body for many years, because it is necessary to breed a cat munchkin with unrecognized breeds or "moggies". This is because there are a relatively small number of Munchkin cats and many of them are relatively closely related. If toMunchkin's eyes do not match other species to bring new genes, there is a significant risk of inbreeding; This could lead to poor general health, significantly increased risk of certain diseases and possible extinction of the breed
