The Munchkin is a small-to-medium cat with short, stubby legs due to a genetic mutation, giving it a unique, “dachshund-like” silhouette. Its coat can be short or long and comes in all colors and patterns. The breed’s playful expression and compact build make it especially endearing.
Munchkins have coats of varying lengths, but most need weekly brushing to keep their fur smooth and reduce shedding. Their short legs don’t affect grooming, but regular nail trims and ear cleaning are still important.
Munchkins are playful, outgoing, and affectionate. Their short legs don’t slow them down, and they love interactive play with children. They are sociable and usually get along well with other pets.
Despite their short legs, Munchkins are lively and love to play. They enjoy chasing toys and exploring, and benefit from mentally stimulating games and treat puzzles.
