The discussion about whether it is cruel to have a Munchkin cat revolves around ethical concerns related to their short legs. Opponents argue that deliberately breeding cats for short legs might contribute to potential health issues and compromise their mobility. Proponents, however, argue that Munchkins lead fulfilling lives and adapt well despite their unique anatomy. The debate hinges on responsible breeding practices, ethical considerations, and providing proper care to ensure the well-being of Munchkin cats.
