The Munchkin is a breed of cat characterized by its very short legs, which are caused by a genetic mutation. Compared to many other cat breeds, it is a relatively new breed, documented since 1940s [ 1 ] and officially recognized in 1991. [ 2 ]
Later breeds added to the bloodline were the British Shorthair, American Shorthair, Manx, and Abyssinian. Later on moggies from Malaya and Egypt were added to the gene pool. By 1985 the look of the breed had been established and managed to form a breed club, the California Spangled Cat Association. [1]

The same study had found that Lykoi cats did have an increased average sebaceous gland area per hair follicle group compared to Domestic Shorthair Cats, which were used as a control group. While the Lykoi is a relatively healthy breed, the aforementioned skin condition does cause serious coat and skin issues that breeders need to diligently ...
The Burmilla comes in two coat lengths, semi-longhair and shorthair. Semi-longhair Burmilla are known as the Tiffanie in GCCF. [1] The most common (standard) coat is the shorthair. This is a short, close-lying coat, similar in appearance to the Burmese, but with a slightly padded feel. Due to the undercoat, it has a soft, silky feel.
The American Wirehair is a spontaneous mutation of the American Shorthair. [2] It first occurred as a random mutation among a litter of five born to a pair of barn cats in 1966 in Vernon, in upstate New York. This single red-and-white male had wiry fur. [3]
