The Munchkin has disproportionately short legs, but in all other regards is a cat with an advantage of not having to "duck". Being low to the ground is corners better than longer-legged cats. May be somewhat limited in its jumping capabilities. It is known as the "Magpie" cat because of its grabbing small objects and hiding them under furniture. See additional information at Munchkin Info.
