What are Munchkin Cats?
“The Munchkin is a medium sized cat, moderate in
body type and head shape, with a thick, plush coat. […]
the Munchkin has very short legs, which in turn gives
the cat a rather long, low appearance.” (Munchkin Cat
Breed Information | Purina UK)
Don’t be fooled by their size!
Everything about them is very normal, despite what
you may think, it’s not cruel on them.

Why should you
have a munchkin
cat???
(let alone a cat)
short legs= extra points on cuteness
big on cuddling usually

socially better with families
loves being in the same room with
other people, (once they have
warmed up to you).
big personalities despite size!
