🧰Accessories for a Munchkin: the right picks at the right size
Munchkin : Go for a litter box with a low rim or low entry, easier to step over with short legs. Pet steps or small stairs to reach the sofa or bed are a real plus.
In short: Small to medium cat (2 to 4 kg), short or semi-long coat, moderate to high energy despite its short legs. A playful, lively cat that makes up for its short legs with inexhaustible curiosity. Its short legs limit big jumps: favour low cat trees with closely spaced levels and access ramps.
Bowls, fountain, feeder
On tableware: ceramic or stainless steel, wide shallow shapes that spare the whiskers, and a water point placed over a metre from the kibble bowl. The fountain remains the best value-for-money item in the cat aisle: a cat that drinks more is a urinary tract that fares better.
The extras that matter for a Munchkin
extra scratchers, a play tunnel and a self-cleaning brush: the useful everyday trio. Breed-by-breed detail lives on the full Munchkin profile.
Starter budget
Expect €150 to 280 to equip a Munchkin properly: cat tree, tray and litter, carrier, bowls and fountain, scratchers and first toys. One good tree and a large tray beat ten gadgets.
