   Or Bucky’s organ grinder.
   (Assuming Satchel hasn’t been fixed.)

   Munchkin cats aren’t equilegged. Well, they are in that their legs are all the same length on the individual cat, but they’re pretty squat in comparison to normal cats.
   When I say ‘normal’ cats, I know cats aren’t ‘normal’ the way other mammals are ‘normal’, but – oh bugger, now I don’t know what I’m talking about – again!

   Like this? A picture is worth 1,000 words (especially if you don’t know what you’re trying to say!) ;-)
   This is a Munchkin cat

   Were they hybridised to be short, or a mutation like the curly-furred ones? Odd that there is so little variation in cats while dogs are so different in size, conformation etc. Selective breeding is all very well but you’ve got to have something to work with. I will never believe the Chihuahua is a direct descendant of the wolf (but then I have a hard time believing they’re real dogs, anyway).

   I believe that dogs have been with us[mankind longer than cats…so we’ve had more time to develop these breeds.

    Cats? NORMAL?? Surely you jest…

    Dogs are different in size? Dogs? Show me a variance in dogs that compares to that of a Siames cat and, say, a Bengal tiger.

    You gotta love Satch’s “kickstand” in the last panel!

    Not really a fair comparison, since all the dogs we’re talking about are Canis whereas you are comparing across genera (in this case, Felis and Pantera).
    I think more attention has been paid to dog breeding partly because it has been going on longer and partly because dogs have more varied, specialized jobs, whereas cats don’t do much (for people) besides chase vermin, a job for which they don’t require additional breeding. Of course, then we get in to the aesthetic/appearance aspect of breeding, the vanity plates of animal domestication…

    At least you won’t have trouble keeping them off the kitchen counters…
