Kaboodle is a Munchkin and has very short legs. The Munchkin is one of the newest
cat breeds, although short-legged cats have
appeared throughout the 20th century in veterinary literature. Modern
Munchkins trace their ancestry
to a black short-legged cat named
Blackberry, found
living under a pickup truck in Louisiana in 1983.
Munchkins were first exhibited in 1991 and was accepted for NBC (new breed
or color) status in 1995. It is still considered experimental and is not
widely recognized.

Kaboodle is sociable and affectionate, and despite
the short legs, she can run, climb, and jump, though not as high
as her long-legged cousins. Their movements are described as
being
similar to that of ferrets. They are available in a variety of
colors and in both long and short hair.
Munchkins do not exhibit the back and/or spinal
problems sometimes seen in their canine look-alikes, the Dachshund. |
