It's from the timeline where humans are solitary animals and somehow bonded with other solitary animals. In that timeline, we think that dogs are assholes for being super social. Third is from that timeline.

A munchkin cat my aunt had four of them when she was still alive, I'm not sure if my uncle kept them or not.

Just incase anyone is worrying apparently this doesn't harm them at all

No, its just genetically short legs, similar to short humans.

What do you mean? They're short like this because of bone deformities and a lot of them have back problems, scoliosis, and rib abnormalities. Also their shorter legs don't allow them to run and jump like other cats and so they have a hard time playing and getting exercise. Please don't spread misinformation that might encourage someone to breed any of these cats. They may be cute but I'm sure a lot of them are in a lot of pain.

I've read it's just a slight deformation that doesn't have any health risks ? I've never heard of the back problems affecting them differently than normal cats and I've seen them run and jump like other cats ?

And I've read completely different and seen completely different stuff in person...maybe one of us is just misinformed?

Or like any genetic issues only a few manifest problems, my last dog's breed was genetically prone to hip problems in later years she never had a single issue with her hips and she lived until she was 14 which is basically a 100 in human years for a large breed. My aunt's munchkin cats last I seen them (almost two years ago now) all got around better than her 'normal' tuxedo tabby and they were all similar in age.
