What are Scottish Fold Munchkins?
DivaKits Pumba
A Scottish Fold Munchkins have been accepted by TICA as an experimental breed and are now called Scottish Kilts. This is huge to us breeders. It is a cross between a Scottish Fold and a Munchkin cat in hopes of producing Scottish Fold folded ears and Munchkin short leg kittens.
Scottish Fold:
The folded ears are produced by a single dominant gene mutation. Two folded ear Scottish Folds CANNOT be crossed and would cause a form of crippling arthritis! For this reason, all kittens will be sold as pets and spayed/neutered prior to being placed in their furr-ever homes.
The likelihood of producing a folded ear Scottish Fold crossed with a straight ear cat is 50% for folded ears and 50% straight ears. Therefore, we should expect several straight ear Scottish Folds as well. Please remember that these are only probabilities and all straight ears or all folded ears are always possible.
Munchkin and Napoleons
The short legs are produced by a genetic mutation that produces short legs. These short legs do not interfere with their ability to climb, jump, and be agile.
The likelihood of a cross between a short legged cat and a long legged are also 50% for either outcome. When two short legged Munchkins are bred, there is a 25% fatality rate. BUT this happens invitro. The fertilized egg does not make it. This does not mean stillbirth. Again, these are merely probabilities and any other results are possible. Either way, we expect the most beautiful kittens!
****We only breed top quality, champion pedigree, AOP, TiCA registered kittens at DivaKits. Why is pedigree so important? This is what we use to check for any genetic issues that could be in their lineage to ensure everyone gets the healthiest kitten possible. We also test our cats for PKD, HCM, and any genetic testing available.****
