Short-legged cats or munchkin cats are a relatively new breed.
They are said have been first discovered in 1983 when an extremely short-legged cat, named Blackberry, was discovered living under a trailer in Louisiana. One of Blackberry's kittens, a tomcat called Toulouse, became part of a breeding program that established the breed in North America.
The short legs on munchkins are caused by a genetic mutation. Other than their short legs, munchkins don't seem to differ in any other way from their taller brethren.
