Do Munchkin cats have health issues?
Yes, Munchkin cats have health issues they’re more prone to, including:
- Lordosis: Munchkin cats are prone to lordosis, a condition in which the spine muscles do not grow to the correct size, allowing the spine to sink and curve excessively. Lordosis may be mild, but when it is severe, kittens do not live past three months of age.
- Pectus excavatum: Pectus excavatum is a deformity of the chest that causes the Munchkin’s breast bone to sink inwards.
