Which cat breed is right for you?
The Munchkin is the original short-legged cat breed, with its signature look caused by a natural genetic mutation first documented in Louisiana in 1983. Medium-sized at 6–9 pounds, the Munchkin has a proportional body, walnut-shaped eyes, and legs roughly three inches shorter than those of a standard cat. Their coat can be short or long, appearing in every color and pattern — from cinnamon tabby to blue smoke.
Munchkins are confident, outgoing cats that never seem to realize they are vertically challenged. They are known as "magpies" for their habit of collecting and hoarding small, shiny objects under furniture. Sociable and playful, Munchkins get along famously with children, dogs, and other cats — making them excellent family pets.

The Norwegian Forest Cat — called "Skogkatt" in Norway — is a natural breed that evolved over centuries in the harsh Scandinavian wilderness. This is a large, powerfully built cat weighing 12–16 pounds (sometimes more), with a triangular head, tufted ears, and a magnificent waterproof double coat featuring a dense undercoat beneath long, glossy guard hairs. They come in nearly every color and pattern except pointed.
Norwegian Forest Cats are gentle giants — affectionate yet independent, happy to sit near you rather than on you. They are athletic climbers who love high perches and will scale bookshelves and cat trees with ease. Patient and tolerant, they do well with children and other pets, though they tend to reserve their deepest affection for their immediate family.
