Minskin Cat Breed and Pictures

11:16 AM    No comments

The Minskin Cat is a noticeably small and stocky cat with a sweet and alert expression. They have a rounded head, large round eyes and a semi-cobby body. Minskins are easy to identify by their short, soft fur-points and their short-stature. The Minskin coat has an overall look and feel of a soft cashmere garment and they are quite warm to the touch. The short stature of the Minskin Cat accentuates their otter-like appeal; this is the result of a natural spontaneous autosomal dominant mutation. Their size and stature do not hamper mobility or quality of life. They are swift and agile, sweettempered and respond well to being handled.

Minskin Cat


HEAD
Shape: Rounded, wider than long, with no flat planes. Ears: Large, open and alert, with
slightly rounded tips. Broad at the base with bell cups or jugs. Placement is as much on the side of the head as the top. Eyes: Large and round. Set wide, more than an eye’s width apart. Expression is open and alert. Chin: Firm and strong, aligning with the tip of the nose. Muzzle: Short and broad. Prominent whisker pads. Nose: Slight curvature at the end, neither straight nor humped. Profile: Visible stop. Neck: Well-developed and flexible. Not bulky.

BODY
Torso: Semi-cobby, may appear longer due to short legs. The back is straight but allowance may be made for a slight rise from shoulders to tail as the back legs are, or may appear to be, slightly longer than the front legs. The chest is broad, strong and wellmuscled. Legs: Short. The front upper and lower forelegs should be equal in length. The back thigh and lower legs approximately equal in length and may be slightly longer than front legs.

Feet: Rounded, compact and strong. All four feet point directly straight forward and not inward or outward. Tail: Slightly longer than the body, tapering gently from the base to a slightly blunted tip. Boning: Sturdy, not fine boned, may appear and feel heavier with muscling. Musculature: Hard, lean and muscular.

COAT
Length: Short. Fur-points (short, closely packed soft fur, covering the entire mask, ears, legs, tail and scrotum). Fur-points are defined by the density of the fur on the outer extremities in comparison to the rest of the body which is visibly more sparsely coated. The fur extending from the legs may rise up onto the shoulders, the hips and the buttocks.

The temples (forehead in front of ears) are noticeably sparse with bareness extending from the top of the eyes to the frontal base of the ear. Furnishings, if any, are sparse. Ear muffs may or may not be present. Whiskers may be present, sparse, broken or absent. The neck, chest and abdomen may appear hairless but are covered in a very thin, fine down. Both adults and kittens may have some wrinkling to the skin but this is more apparent in kittens.
