These Adorably Short Munchkin Kittens Look Fake, But They're SO Real And SO Cute

Everyone has his or her own ideas of beauty! Like any breed the munchkins were all naturally occurring mutations that just then got bred together, not all end up with problems, in fact it is quite the controversy whether they do or not! It is too new a breed to really have that much statistical data, but it has been a subject of controversy since the re-foundation of the breed.

I feel the same about all animals. WE breed for looks, but don't consider the effect on the animal. Rather selfish of us.

I tried to comment on this thread in the last two days but my internet connection was missing the WAN Ethernet DHCP connection...and it was TOO slow to wait and wait for the message window to pop up!

I can see Munchkins being prone to lower spine and hip trouble. I also know that many senior cats get arthritis in their lower back or hips.

I don't think I would buy a Munchkin, but are they ever cute! Like that GIF of the tiny playing kitten!
