The Munchkin cat was developed in the 1980s by a music teacher from Louisiana. The breed is defined by its extremely short legs, a trait owing to a genetic mutation. Although critics have expressed concern over potential mobility issues, Munchkin fanciers claim the shortness of the breed’s legs doesn’t impede its running and jumping skills—perhaps partially due to the slightly higher hind legs, which come in handy for feline acrobatics. The Munchkin is a small to medium sized breed that comes in both shorthaired and longhaired varieties.
