Munchkin cat

[workerant]

The munchkin is a relatively new breed created by a mutation that causes achondroplasia, or possibly hypochondroplasia, resulting in cats with abnormally short legs.
keepers and breeders of munchkins declare them to be "a sound breed" that is "ideal" for small homes and not particularly susceptible to health problems
While some cat registries have recognised the breed, others have not, including the world's largest cat fancy, the Federation Internationale Feline, which refuses to recognise what they consider a breed based on a "genetic disease",
