How to care for a Munchkin Cat

Munchkins are sometimes described as “ferret-like” in their playfulness, as they run, chase, and play with toys. They also have an endearing way of sitting up, rabbit-like, on their hind legs, a trait which gave the Stalingrad cat the name of “Stalingrad Kangaroo Cat.” Because munchkins may be bred to a wide variety of domestic cats, an individual cat’s personality will depend on its inheritance. All-in-all, they have been described as loving, sociable, and playful by munchkin fans.

The munchkin’s coat requires a little grooming assistance since its shorter legs make it harder to reach certain areas during self-grooming. Shorthaired cats should be brushed weekly and long-haired cats should be brushed a couple of times per week. Regular brushing helps prevent hairballs and matting. You should keep your cat’s nails trimmed. Help your cat maintain oral hygiene by brushing its teeth a couple of times per week and get regular cleaning at the veterinarian.

Munchkin Temperament and Personality

This is an outgoing cat who enjoys being handled. He has lots of energy and is faster and more agile than he looks. Think of a low-slung sports car and you get the picture.

The friendly Munchkin likes playing with children and other cats and dogs. On the rare occasion when he’s not in motion, expect to see him sitting up on his hind legs to get a peek at something interesting. He’s not a “leap tall buildings in a single bound” kind of cat, but he is definitely capable of making his way to high places if he so chooses. It just takes him a little longer.

The Munchkin is highly intelligent. Challenge his brain by teaching him tricks and providing him with puzzle toys that will reward him with kibble or treats when he learns to manipulate them.

Always choose a kitten from a breeder who raises litters in her home and handles them from an early age. Meet at least one and ideally both of the parents to ensure that they have nice temperaments.

Munchkin cats can have hoarding tendencies similar to that of a magpie-they love to stash away “favorite” objects to play with later, Krieger says. If your jewelry comes up missing, your little Munchkin may be to blame.

Appearance

Munchkin cats have a distinct appearance that most cat lovers either love or despise. These small cats have legs that are about 3 inches shorter than the average feline. The rest of the Munchkin body is pretty standard for a house cat, with most adults weighing between 6 and 9 pounds. Many people think of the Munchkin as the Dachshund of the cat kingdom. Some even call the Munchkin a “sausage cat,” a reference to the beloved “wiener dog.”
