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 Tonkinese
Tonkinese are medium-sized, muscular cats combining Siamese elegance with Burmese solidity. They have silky low-maintenance coats in mink, pointed or solid patterns and striking aqua to greenish blue eyes. Affectionate, playful, social and vocal, they thrive on attention and interaction.
