Munchkin cats, also known as short-legged cats, are naturally short-legged, not the result of developmental disorders caused by diseases or health problems.

　　Short-legged cats are very good at climbing, jumping, and running, not affected at all by their short legs. On the contrary, it makes them even more agile. They are also friendly and intelligent, quickly learning some little tricks.

　　They are like children who never grow up, maintaining the innocent and lively characteristics of kittens throughout their lives. Short-legged cats are very suitable for people who want their cats to never grow up. They are gentle, enthusiastic, enjoy companionship with humans, and get along well with other animals. They love lively environments and playing, and are very willing to be held in people’s arms. Due to their short legs, being held feels like cradling a baby.

　　Short-legged cats have very short limbs all around; some with short front legs.

　　Short-legged cats with long hind legs are defective and not a good breed. Short-legged cats are medium-sized cats, very suitable for family feeding, their fur does not require special care and they do not shed much. (Source：PetsZone)
