Dwarfism in Cats

[spookyscaryseagulls]

We've been told it's very likely our little one has Dwarfism. Has anyone else dealt with this. I mean he will be worshipped anyway just wondering out loud as I've never seen it in kitties.

No answers just wanted to admire your gorgeous kitty, black cats are beautiful 😻

Does he have short legs or is he just small in proportion?

Yes he has short stumpy legs and round paws. I just thought he was small probably the runt. The vet has questioned it though and I've to take him back in two months. He's 6 months old not quite 1kg even though he eats well.

There is an awful trend, that I think started in the US, to breed from these cats with their genetic faults and produce what they call 'Munchkin Cats'. I think it is dreadfully cruel and far from bring 'cute'.
But when it occurs naturally it is a bit sad but I expect the cat will still have a good life - just not be so agile.
(Please have him neutered though)
