Munchkin
Munchkin cats are a breed characterized by their short legs due to a natural genetic mutation that affects the development of extremities and small to medium-sized bodies, with proportional heads, moderately large ears and expressive eyes. They are a relatively new breed, originating in the United States. Its history dates back to the 1980s, when cats with short legs were discovered in Louisiana. These cats caught the attention of breeders and cat enthusiasts, leading to the development of the Munchkin breed. They are known for being affectionate, sociable and playful cats. Due to their short legs, you may need to provide accessories such as ramps to help them reach higher places.
