The fun-sized cats are on average 4 to 8 inches tall, and have extremely short legs, but long bodies. Their body shape is comparable to dachshunds and basset hounds. In fact, they have almost identical genetic mutations that cause their compact body shape. Fear not, because unlike the hound dogs, they do not typically have back problems later in life.
These cats are fun-loving, energetic and outgoing. They are great for children or other cats, because they are comfortable with socialization and love to play. Because of their short stature, the cats have very good lateral agility, although they are vertically challenged. Their movement can be compared to that of a ferret.
We suggest adopting your Munchkin from a highly experienced breeder who knows what they’re doing. When the cats are properly bred, they are an excellent addition to any cat lover’s family. Munchkins come in all colors; no two coats are alike. The cats either have short fur or long, silky coats. They are low maintenance cats, as they only require routine checkups and one or two brushings a week.
