Felis catus
✨ Hauska Fakta
Munchkins may have short legs, but they're incredibly fast — they zigzag at high speed like ferrets and are nicknamed 'magpies' for their tendency to collect shiny objects.
The founding dwarf breed — naturally occurring short legs caused by a dominant gene (like Dachshunds). Normal-sized body on short legs. Confident, outgoing, and surprisingly fast despite low stature. Controversial due to health concerns.
