Skookum Cat

The Skookum cat is a rare and whimsical breed known for its short legs and curly coat. Created by crossing Munchkins with LaPerms, Skookums combine dwarfism with Rex-style curls for a uniquely adorable look.

These cats are playful, sweet, and full of personality. Their small stature doesn’t slow them down—they’re energetic, curious, and love interactive play. Skookums are also affectionate and social, often seeking attention and lap time.

Their soft, curly coat may be short or semi-long and needs gentle brushing a few times a week. Like other dwarf breeds, their care is mostly typical aside from avoiding high jumping areas.

If you’re looking for a tiny, curly-coated cat with a huge heart and a dash of mischief, the Skookum brings both charm and joy in a compact package.
