They Have Roots in Boston.

The Minskin cat has a stocky body, short legs, and large blue eyes that give them an alien-like appearance. This is a rare, newer breed that was developed only a couple of decades ago. A man named Paul McSorley from Boston, Massachusetts, decided that he wanted to make a cat that had the similar coloring of a Siamese with short munchkin legs and dense fur patches on the tail, ears, and legs.

Although the first one appeared in 1998, it took until 2005 for there to be 50 of them in the world. Although there are more available today, they are still a rare breed that has yet to be recognized by The Cat Fanciers’ Association. Despite being so new, there is a lot to love about this unique breed, and it’s no wonder that your curiosity toward them is rising.

They Aren’t Recognized as an Official Breed.

The Minskin is a new breed and has not been recognized by the International Cat Association or Cat Fanciers’ Association. However, they are still monitoring the development of the breed, and many people are hoping to find them on a recognized list as soon as they grow in popularity.

One of the Friendliest Modern Cat Breeds.

McSorley did a great job at creating a pet that was perfect for most families. Minskins have a bold personality. They love engaging with their owners and spending time with cats and dogs. They are a cat lover’s dream because they are intelligent, playful, and fun to watch, yet still love snuggling in your lap at the end of the day.
