We bust popular myths about munchkins and explain what's really worth paying attention to.
Published 4 min read
“Munchkins can't jump”
They can. Not as high as their long-legged cousins, but a sofa, an armchair or a low shelf is no problem at all. Many munchkins adore cat trees with steps.
“They're not active cats”
Quite the opposite: munchkins are playful and curious. They're often compared to little explorers who peek into every drawer.
“All munchkins are the same”
The breed comes in a wide range of colors and coat lengths, and every kitten has a personality all its own. That's exactly why we describe each kitten on the site in such detail.
Where to find reliable information
We recommend relying on the breed standards of feline associations and on the advice of your veterinarian.
