The dwarf cat, as the name suggests, is a cat breed with relatively short limbs, the body is very similar to the dachshund, so many partners see also feel very cute, especially the short limbs, so the dwarf cat walking is also particularly cute, that dwarf cat legs why so short?
The dwarf cat is actually a cat genetic mutation that formed a cat breed, and only after human directed breeding was it found that its legs would be shorter than normal cats, about half the length, so people found it particularly cute and kept it for qualitative breeding. However, there are various genetic problems in the breeding process, and there is a certain possibility of spinal mutation disease, so we should pay close attention to our Dwarf during the breeding process, and must strictly follow the breed standard for Dwarf. For example, Dwarfs need to be bred regularly with normal breeds of long-legged cats for directional breeding, so that the resulting Dwarf offspring will be healthier.
There are two types of purebred Dwarf cats that we see on the market, one is called Mankikon and the other is called Napoleon. Napoleon is a long-haired dwarf breed, and Mankikon is a short-haired dwarf breed. Their breeding direction and breeding standards are different, and among the big associations we commonly see, the CFA Cat Association does not recognize the dwarf breed, and then the TSA does recognize the dwarf breed. But it is also divided into two kinds, like there are Mankikon and Napoleon. The requirements for the Mankikon are that each Mankikon Dwarf cat can be mated with the Mankikon breed, as well as with domestic cats, in order to improve its breed characteristics. In the case of the Napoleon, it is necessary to cross with the Persian, so we see that the two breeds are completely different.
And dwarf cats because of people’s love, but also the price of speculation is very high, more exaggerated is the price of dwarf cats for some time actually speculation to hundreds of thousands, such are inflated prices, not sellable, normal our home dwarf cats about 20,000 can buy a good quality. And pay special attention to the channels of purchase, because the dwarf cat genetic problems, it is likely to get genetic diseases, when parents are money is also hurt, feelings are also hurt.
