Munchkin Cat is a small-to medium-sized cat originating from the United States. Their physical distinct characteristic is their extreme short legs as a result of natural genetic mutation as opposed to human selective breeding. The Munchkins are only interbred with other cat breeds of normal size since the gene that causes dwarfism is autosomal dominant. Therefore, the trait is passed on to the offspring whether one or both parents have inherited the copies. If a Munchkin is crossed to another Munchkin, the litter may die while still in the womb. This cat breed got its name from The Wizard of Oz, the short munchkin characters.
