The short cat that's Big on purrsonality. A perpetual kitten. A friend for life! Expect to be screened, these breeders LOVE their babies.
Recommended indoors, couldn't jump a high fence but will make it to the top of your counter if you leave the icecream out! Are being closely watched by some veterinarians due to concerns of dwarfism related health problems but there is no evidence I am aware of at this time. Like with any purebred (DO YOUR RESEARCH) watch out for inbreeding and "really good deals" especially those with little or no gurantee. Note to possible future breeders: bear in mind that in breeding munchkins you will end up with both standard(short legged) and non standard(long legged) munchkins. Sadly the non-standard kittens are not as popular so it is very important to have responsible forever homes for them as well. On the upside;both standard and non-standard felines are blessed with the same wonderful personality traits.
We purchased a purebred Munchkin. A munchkin occurs when the gene for dwarfism is dominant, this is a natural genetic occurance (not man made). Ours is a healthy happy cat,however,there is some debate on this breed. After visiting a clean, loving & well kept cattery and doing my research via the net I am convinced that just because they're shorter hardly limits them at all. They have the personality of a perpetual kitten. They are not prone to any back problems (like their canine cousins the dachsands sadly are). Ours is cuddly,fun loving,excellent with the kids, and rediculously cute. Recommendations: if you would like to research the munchkin please start out with the TICA site & you will find reputable breeder links there. Most breeders recommend having he/she spayed or neutered prior to placement and due to their shortness they cannot jump quite as high as their other feline friends so indoors really is safest for them.A reasonable pet price should be between 250.00-450.00. You will not be dissapointed!
