Munchkin cats are named because they have short, stubby legs. Despite their short stature,
Munchkin cats can move and run as fast as any other cat. However, due to the fact they have difficulty
reaching high places, it's best to keep them indoors and away from predators. Keep your munchkin cat healthy
with a good diet, fresh water, and a clean litter box. Make sure your cat gets plenty of attention.
Munchkin cats are highly social. While munchkin cats don't require much special care, regular brushing is
important to keep their fur free of tangles.

1: Feed your munchkin a healthy diet

Munchkin cats, like any cat, require a healthy diet. However, they do not need food specifically made for munchkin cats.
You can feed them any nutritious, veterinary recommended brand of cat food.[1]
Select a food specifically made for cats. You cannot feed cats using human foods, such as chicken or tuna,
as Munchkin Cat need a specific vitamin called taurine for their health. Taurine is found in commercial cat foods.
Kittens need a specific formula of food in order to promote growth and health. If your munchkin is a kitten,
make sure to feed it kitten chow.
You can give your munchkin treats if you want, but make sure treats do not make up more than 5 to 10% of your cat's diet.
The only special consideration to take with munchkins is whether they can reach their food. Due to their small height,
munchkins may have trouble jumping onto high places. Make sure your munchkin's food is within its reach.

2: Make sure your Munchkin Cat has access to fresh drinking water

Like any animal, you need to keep a clean bowl of fresh drinking water out for your munchkin at all times.
Keep an eye on your cat's water bowl, and refill it as needed. You should also make sure the water bowl is
in an area a munchkin can easily reach.

3: Provide bedding

Cats will need beds to feel comfortable. Make sure you keep your house full of warm, comfortable places for your cat
to curl up.
You can buy a bed at a pet store and line it with warm blankets. You can use an old object from your home, such as
an old shoebox, as your cat's bed. If you have multiple cats, set out multiple beds.

4: Keep your munchkin cat indoors

In general, most Munchkin Cat do better indoors. Indoor cats tend to live longer. Munchkins especially will not do well outdoors.
Their short stature will make them an easy target for predators. Munchkins are best raised as indoor cats.

You can also buy a harness for your Munchkin Cat and take it on short walks.

5 : Maintain a clean litter box

You should scoop out a cat's litter box every day. Once a week, empty all the litter and then wash the litter
box with mild detergent. After the box is dry, add a fresh layer of litter.
Lemon-scented cleaners, or cleaners with deodorants and ammonia, should not be used in a litter box.
These scents can bother cats, and your Munchkin Cat my not use its litter box if you use these kinds of cleaners.

6: Take your cat to the vet regularly

Like all cats, munchkins need regular vet check ups. Take your cat to the vet at least once a year and keep it up
to date on vaccinations. Keep in mind kittens may need more frequent vet visits than adult cats.
In general, the munchkin is a fairly healthy breed. However, they do have a slight genetic predisposition
to abnormalities of the spine and chest. Your vet should be able to detect such abnormalities and recommend
a treatment plan.
