diet

r

Munchkins, like all felines, eat meat. Always remember that while contemplating what you should feed your new Munchkin. That may explain why your Munchkin seems like a finicky eater. You will have a hard time getting your Munchkin to eat if you're giving him food that is not meat or formulated from meat products.Your munchkin cat should be fed the same diet as any other domestic cat. A munchkin is a medium-sized cat with a weight and body mass that is not significantly affected by having short legs. A wet food diet is often considered best, but you can leave out dry food for your cat to snack on as well.

How Much Does a Munchkin Cost? It costs around $75-$100 to adopt a Munchkin cat. Conversely, Munchkin cats from a breeder can be extremely expensive and may fall in the $1,000-$2,300 range.

The more "Munchkin" the cat looks the higher the price a breeder can command. Female munchkins tend to carry a higher price tag as they have the ability to produce a litter. Generally speaking, the younger the cat, the more expensive as people love the idea of having a kitten.

what breeds make up a munchkin

THE MUNCHKIN BREED AROSE FROM A GENETIC MUTATION.

r

Like many unusual cat types (the Cornish Rex and the Manx, to name a few), the Munchkin breed arose from a spontaneous genetic mutation. The Munchkin's short legs are caused by an autosomal dominant gene, which causes the long bones in a cat's legs to grow shorter.

do they shed a lot

not that much

r

Munchkin cats, in particular, shed moderately, which will leave dander behind on the floor, on your clothes, and can even go into your food. Though they are not considered hypoallergenic, they do not shed as much as other cat breeds. So, if you only have light allergies, this might be the right cat for you.

do they like to cuddle

yes!

r

10. He loves cuddling. The Munchkin cat craves company: kids, dogs, other animals, complete strangers — there's never enough! They live for a game of chase or a catnip mouse prime for hunting but will never turn down the offering of a warm lap for cuddling.

do they like being held

yes!

r

I've had several and all of them are quite happy to jump up and enjoy any affection I care to shower them with. Most lap cats are friendly and love cuddling when the opportunity presents itself; Munchkin cats are one of the breeds of cat that most owners would describe as being lap cats.

how long do they live

15 years

r

Health. Munchkins are generally healthy cats with an expected lifespan of 12–15 years. These cats are prone to health issues that affect most feline breeds, like heart problems, urinary tract infections, and pancreatitis.

can they be left alone

they don't like it

r

Munchkin cats are hoarders and you can find their collection stashed away somewhere safe if you look for it. Company and cuddles: While many breeds of cats prefer the solitary life and like to be left alone most of the time, Munchkins are different. Munchkin cats love company and love cuddles even more.
