Breed Review: Munchkin




If you think Munchkin is a slow and laid-back cat because of their short legs, then you need to immediately drop those preconceptions. This breed is an energetic extrovert, ready and willing to play with kids, other cats, and friendly dogs. They love to wrestle and play with other pets, happily unaware that there's anything different about its short legs.




Munchkins can do anything an ordinary cat can do, except leap to the top of the bookcase. At least not in one leap, but Munchkin will get there eventually if they try harder. And do you know that Munchkins are sometimes called magpies because they love shiny things and will store them away? Better keep an eye on your valuables!





Because of their small to medium size, a Munchkin weighs from 5 to 9 pounds and it comes in short-haired and long-haired varieties, both sporting an all-weather coat. Shorthair Munchkins should be combed once a week to help remove loose dead hair while longhaired Munchkins should be combed twice a week to remove the dead hair and prevent tangles or mats from forming.
