A genetic mutation causes dwarfism, giving Munchkins their signature short legs, but normal-sized bodies and heads.
Don’t be fooled! Their short legs don't slow them down. Munchkins are agile and fast with spurts of kitten-like racing zoomies.
Unlike dog breeds with dwarfism, Munchkin spines are the same as other cats, avoiding risk of spinal problems faced by some dogs
Extremely affectionate and outgoing, Munchkins bond strongly and want to befriend everyone they meet.
With quick intelligence for tricks and commands, they often learn games, names and routines faster than the average cat.
Shorter stature doesn’t impede their mighty prey drive. They delight in stalking cat toys, ping pong balls and unsuspecting ankles.
They love snuggling sessions on welcoming laps. And with shorter legs, they fit perfectly without dangling limbs!
