Munchkin Cats
Munchkins are short-legged cats.
Munchkins were little people in the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
by L. Frank Baum.
A short legged kitten was first recorded in
1940, by a vet, but they were not purposely bred until 1983. Sandra Hochenedel of
Louisiana, USA, noticed a short-legged cat that she named Blackberry. In spite of being cats with short legs, they are not prone to spine trouble.
The coat can be long or short, and any colour or markings. It's
not the color but the shortness of the legs that distinguishes this breed.
Munchkins are playful cats and make lovely
pets.

Milk
A
baby kitten drinks mother's milk. But a mature cat starts to hunt for meat: mice, lizards, birds etc.
A newly converted Christian laps up the Bible fast,
like a kitten sucking milk, but in order to mature in the faith, daily meals
of the meatier portions of the Bible are necessary.
1st Peter chapter 2, verse 2
