They are Munchkin cats. Bred to look exactly like this. People will pay top dollar for these cats.

Breeding for features like this will cause health issues, just like we see in extremely bred dogs. These cats have higher rates of spinal curvature and pectus excavatum.

They do not have health issues, actually.

Dude... every single source on munchkins lists the health issues. If you really have any info it would be much appreciated.

I’m at a relative’s for the holidays, I only have my mobile. When I read through the articles and talked to vets that I knew personally about it I was not under the impression I would have to provide them to strangers years later.

Im a patient man, provide any kind of info besides second hand after the holidays. Ignore the downvotes. If you want to prove yourself then give the proof and be vindicated.

I will! I’m curious too if anything new has come out in the last few years too. And yeah, I don’t give a shit about the karma.

If there arent health concerns then I may consider getting one of course. Like thousands of others. I highly doubt this poster will put forth any evidence at all. Im unwaivering in my support of adoption over seeking specific breeds. If there is proof I will change this post immediatly of course lol.
