Munchkin Overview

The Munchkin cat is one of the most popular pets in America. They have a big personality in an even smaller package. These sociable felines are extremely playful and love to run, chase, and play with toys. 

They are small and have short legs like other dwarf breeds such as the Scottish Fold or the American Curl. The Munchkin is not recognized by any major cat registries because they do not meet certain standards set for a cat to be considered a purebred animal. This does not stop them from being incredibly cute!

This cat breed is very lovable and fancied by many cat lovers around the world. They can often be found in the company of their humans because they love to cuddle up next to you on the sofa!
