I have seen them at Cat shows and they are so sweet looking.
I wonder if they have trouble jumping onto things with those stumpy little legs.
They are so happy looking, but expensive.

Thanks. She's like having a kitten all year long. Her "meow" sounds like a baby crying. And yes, she CAN jump! Most people who see the short legs are under the misconception that they can't. Shortie used to jump from the cat tree to my bed (at least 6-7 feet away). I called her my "flying monkey".

Donna, that is one of my favourite mental pictures ever! :D I can just imagine Shortie, all fours sticking out, flying over my head to land on another surface. :D

Oh Shortie! I did not know you were a Munchkin, but just a calico! You are a beauty anyway :D

Did your meowmie ever post a picture of you standing on your short legs? I would like to see it :)

Shorty is just a doll. Here's two photos I have of her when Donna still lived in MI. :)

Thanks Kim for posting the pictures!! I don't have many of her actually standing up as she's always laying down.
