Cat of the Week: Munchkin

The munchkin is a cat from a genetic mutation. They have extra-short legs. It does not hurt the cat in any way and is completely natural. The are a very friendly cat and are sometimes called ferret-cats. It is a new breed, and a captive breed program only started in the 1990's, though short legged cats had been seen before. One thing is for sure, those legs are sure cute!!
