Munchkin Cat Pictures
The Original Short Legged Cat

These Munchkin cat pictures showcase adorable short legged Munchkin kittens and cats.

Munchkins are dwarf cats, with characteristic short legs. This is not a designer cat or a toy cat breed. The short-legged trait is caused by a genetic mutation.

The dwarf cat photos below showcase longhaired and shorthaired Munchkin cats in an array of colors.
