Re: Is this your sort of cat

The worry I have with Munchkins is that the Dachshund who has actually the same genetic defect causing the shortened limbs can suffer from back/spinal problems. It is advised not to let your Dachshund climb up and down stairs or jump off high objects as it can injure their spine leading to severe pain or paralysis.

You cannot control a cats activities as you can a dog, so I am worried for them, as cats tend to hide pain and so many of them could be suffering in silence.
