had to just add, munchkins CAN do all the things 'normal' cats do running up stairs, jumping onto work top ect ect. cant see any reason why a bambino wouldnt be the same

I have to agree with this. I have a friend who has a munchkin and he can get all over the place and doesn't have any issues at all. The bambino isn't a cat I would personally go for (I'm all about the plush coats) but each to their own.

Japanese Bobtails do not have polydactyl feet. That's just one of the errors in that document.

Hey, what about adding a persian into the mix too? A bald, stumpy legged, smooshed face cat would be a sight to behold!!LOL

I think the poor thing looks uncomfortable.

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.

I don't like any breeding of harmful mutations. Sphynxes and persians (and lots of Siamese too) are only OK because they invariably live with people, they would never survive in the wild.

No, it does look like a sausage dog from a quick glance though.
