Berfore I got him, Oscar had a hard life moving around a lot with homeless people after his original master kicked the bucket. So he's a little skittish of strangers and loud noises.

He's sweet but nips strangers after fooling them into petting him. You get used to seeing his short legs but he it's still entertaining when cat boxing. But he's as fast and agile as most any cat. Can jump the countertops with ease.

A munchkin cat has short legs like a corgi dog. Someone was asking so--I don't think there are any munchkin cat rescue groups but you can keep an eye on petfinder and craigslist for rescues.

We were fostering Oscar for a rescue cat lady along with his fat "sister" (quite odd looking, a fat munchkin). She enjoyed chasing down the athletic bengal cat who had to run to humans for protection or escape to higher ground. Oscar tried a "forever" home but it didn't work out.

I haven't noticed any unique munchkin cat traits other than the short legs. He has a siamese/tabby mix sort of personality. Just like his "sister" had a sweet British Shorthair personality (she looked like a rotund one with short legs). Still, it took forever to find them homes, and one was returned! But we are happy to have him back.
