The Munchkin is a relatively new breed of cat characterized by its very short legs, which are caused by a naturally occurring genetic mutation. Much controversy erupted over the breed when it was recognized by The International Cat Association in 1995 with critics voicing concern over potential health and mobility issues. Description
The Munchkin resembles a normal domestic long- or shorthaired cat in all but leg length. The body is semi-foreign, medium sized, and medium long with a well-rounded chest and firm hips. Boning is medium, with medium to substantial musculature. Male Munchkins weigh 6 to 9 pounds; female Munchkins weigh 4 to 8 pounds.The head is a broad, modified wedge with rounded contours, medium in size with high cheekbones. The muzzle and nose are medium in length; a slight nose bump is acceptable. In profile a slight stop is allowed. The neck is thick and medium in length. Ears are medium to medium large, broad at the base, slightly rounded at the tips, and placed as much on top as on the side of the head. Eyes are medium large, walnut-shaped, placed rather wide apart and at a slight angle toward the base of the ears.T ... Read more »

n 1961 a shepherd by the name of William Ross spotted the
first known Scottish Fold cat at a farm near Coupar Angus
in the Tayside Region of Scotland, Northwest of Dundee.
Ross asked the owners if he could have one of the kittens,
and proceeded to develop the breed from the original, Susie,
a white barn cat.
The unique thing about this cat was that her ears folded
forward and downward on her head. The resulting look
gave the impression of a "pixie,” "owl,” or "teddy bear” that
has captured the hearts of many American cat fanciers and
judges. The Scottish Fold was granted championship status
by The Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA) in 1978.
Scottish Folds come in two types: folded ear and straight
(normal) ear. The folded ear is produced by an incomplete
dominant gene and is the result of a spontaneous mutation.
Over the last two decades the Scottish Fold has developed
a look all its own…even though allowed outcrosses include
American Shorthairs and British Shorthairs. The Fold does
not necessarily resemble the American Shorthair’s hard,
powerful "working cat” body and squared-off muzzle. Nor
does it look like the British Shorthair’s massive, compact
body, short legs, and flat planed top-head. The Fold, instead,
is a medium cat with a rounded, well-padded body and a
short, dense, and resilient coat. It has large, round, broadly
spaced eyes full of sweetness; well-rounded whisker pads and
a short nose with a gentle curve in profile.
Scottish Fold kittens are born with straigh
