About

The Skookum is a relatively new cat breed created by crossing the LaPerm and the Munchkin, combining two distinctive traits: a curly coat and short legs. From the LaPerm it inherits a wavy, curled coat that comes in both long and short varieties, while its short legs come from the Munchkin. Small to medium in size with a rounded face and large eyes, the Skookum is generally affectionate, curious, and playful. As with other short-legged breeds, careful weight management is important to avoid extra strain on the joints and spine. The breed is still uncommon and recognized by only a limited number of registries.
