Summary
About Munchkin
The Munchkin is a small to medium cat with a long, sturdy body and distinctively short legs from a natural mutation. Playful, curious, and people oriented, it stays kitten like and active, enjoys training and interactive toys, and fits well into families and multi pet homes.
About Scottish Fold
