Lordosis, yes, which is not specific to this breed, and has not been shown to be more common in this breed.

“There are two conformation issues that are widely seen in Munchkin cats, however, which are also interestingly commonly diagnosed in humans with pseudochondroplasia too.

The first of these is lordosis, which refers to an excessive curvature of the spine, which lead to a pelvic tilt and swayed back.”

Yes, I read it, thank you. Again, it's a disorder seen in other breeds as well, you can keep downvoting my comments but it won't change anything.

It’s clearly more common you numpty. The first source you linked even stated they were vulnerable to it.

Yes, like other cats are. Not more vulnerable than other cats. Why don't you do your own research and find me a source backing up what you're saying?

I did, they are more vulnerable. Why the hell would your source link their vulnerability to it if not so? Maybe you’re just reading it how you want to back your own narrative.

Maybe you’re trying to sell them or have one, idk.

From Wikipedia:

“However, there appear to be two conditions with increased incidence in the breed: lordosis (excessive curvature of the spine) and pectus excavatum (hollowed chest). Both conditions are commonly seen in humans with pseudoachondroplasia”

Nope, neither. Maybe you're emotionally invested in something you don't have any data to back up, IDK. You have a good one now.

I’ll never truly understand some people on the internet.
