The short leggedness of the Munchkin breed is a deformity that means that they are prone to developing arthritis.
If your first thought on meeting a Munchkin is ‘cat-weasel’, you wouldn’t be far wrong. The Munchkin can find it hard to jump (although many can) and they move very differently to standard legged cats, with a much wrigglier, rolling motion.
Curious, intelligent, friendly and playful, the Munchkin is in other respects much like any domestic cat, possibly more inclined to enjoy handling and lap-time than some, but equally keen to exercise their feline hunting behaviour by chasing and hunting toys if given the opportunity.
