My Little Man


This is my munchkin Oliver.







He hates having his photo taken so I usually have to do it when he's asleep, or he will miaow loudly if he's awake.

Re: My Little Man


What a handsome man!!!

When you said this is my munchkin - I thought you meant he was going to be a Munchkin breed (you know - the ones with the short legs) and I have to say that I'm glad he's not!!!!

I've never heard of that breed before - will have to investigate. Just one of the many names he gets called - don't know why! I used to call my first cat Gizzy "Spider" and I don't know where that came from either

Re: My Little Man


The Munchkin breed is quite controversial, as it's been deliberately bred with short legs Here's a link...

I know what you mean about nicknames though - mine get called the funniest things!!! from Princess to Rooster. No idea how or why!?!?!?!

Re: My Little Man


I dont understand The links I have found say that the short legs are a natural occurance, so how can they be deliberately bred with short legs? Am I being thick
