人们之所以喜欢腊肠狗或是柯基,通常原因无它、就是因为他们四只短短的腿!有别于一般的狗狗、四肢短短的模样有时候更显露一股萌萌的感觉!
那你知道、其实猫咪也有这样的短腿品种吗?其实就是英国短毛猫基因突变来的曼基猫 (Munchkin),又称短脚猫或腊肠猫,他们的前脚会明显地比一般猫咪还要短,有时候甚至还会出现像兔子一般的站立动作,真的相当可爱!
(注意:医生对此表示,这种短腿猫咪其实是基因缺陷的一种,基于人道原则是不建议繁殖作为宠物贩售的,甚至还有繁殖场业者为了迎合消费大众,还将曼基猫和折耳猫配种,生出了相当可爱、但关节和骨骼都有先天性疾病的混种猫咪,这样的行为相当不值得效法。)
【因此本着”认养代替购买”的精神,对以下这些猫咪请抱持欣赏态度即可,不建议到宠物店购买!】
1. 外观是不是看起来真的有种柯基的感觉?

17. 他们因为前腿比较短,所以会比较常做出这种站立的姿势。
