Description
It is a naturally occurring domestic cat breed with unusually short legs, a spontaneous change in the genetic heritage of the cat has introduced a gene similar to that seen in Corgi's, Dachshund and Basset Hound. It is a God made change, not one by man's hands. It is a spontaneous autosomal dominant mutation and it only takes one to pass it on. The long legged kittens in the same litter as a Munchkin do not carry the gene.
Munchkins can run, jump and climb with the best of them, but do so much cuter. In fact they often stand on their back legs just to have a look around. They don't have to stop, duck and go under beds or furniture, they just go.
Munchkins don't have back problems like the Dachshund because their spine is different. This is why cats land on their feet. Cats rarely have spine problems.
