Have you every seen a Munchkin cat?


OK, I vowed not to get another cat, and I think I will hold to this for a while.

Maybe when we downsize...

But when I do, this is the cat I want. I have never seen one before, nor even heard of them.
My mom is in a interim care facility, after a stay in the hospital. When she was admitted this cat that lives at the facility, decided her bed was his bed. When I got there he was all cozy, laying on her bed.

When he was ready to leave... well let s just say this is kitty "low-rider" (they have super short front legs)..I had to follow him out the door trying to get a picture of him.. low in the front, high in the back!

They are not bred to be this way, but have a mutant gene...whatever it is, this is my next cat!

Am I the only one who had not heard of a Munchkin cat?

  3. I've never even heard of that mutation before. I'm surprised no one has developed it into a breed. After having to reprimand Milton today for being on the table yet again today, a cat too short to jump sounds very tempting! LOL

  5. i have heard of them but didn't pay attention to them as breedy pets don't do much for me. i did learn that the norwegian forest cat is extremely friendly. i blogged about that last decemeber since my stray cat princess is one. i love all kitties. so glad your mom had a friend. i think that is wonderful and very uplifting.
