Amakati kaMunchkin ahlukaniswa yimilenze yawo emifushane kakhulu, eye yathuthuka ngenxa yokuguquka kwemvelo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, umzimba nenhloko yazo zilingana ngokufana nezamakati ajwayelekile. Sekuqubuke impikiswano eningi maqondana nalolu hlobo, njengoba abaningi bekholelwa ukuthi la makati "anesici."
Eqinisweni, bayizilwane ezinempilo nezithokozile ezingenazo izinkinga zempilo ngenxa yemilenze yazo emifushane njengezinye izinhlobo zezinja. Ama-Munchkins awawona amakati aphilile kuphela, athanda nokugijima, agxume, akhuphuke futhi adlale njengezinye izinhlobo. Bangabantu abahle kakhulu nabathanda abantu.
Umlando wozalo
Amakati anemilenze emifushane abhalwe phansi emuva kakhulu ngo-1940. Udokotela wezilwane waseBrithani wabika ngo-1944 ukuthi wayebone izizukulwane ezine zamakati anemilenze emifushane ayefana namakati ajwayelekile, ngaphandle kobude bezitho.
Lo mugqa wanyamalala phakathi neMpi Yesibili Yomhlaba, kepha ngemuva kwalokho kwaba nemibiko yamakati afanayo eMelika nase-USSR. Amakati e-USSR aze abonwa ngososayensi, futhi athola igama elithi "Stalingrad kangaroos"
Ngo-1983, uSandra Hochenedel, uthisha womculo waseLouisiana, wabona amakati amabili akhulelwe esendleleni ebuyela ekhaya, eqhutshwa ngaphansi kweloli yibholidi.
Ngemuva kokuxosha inja, wabona ukuthi elinye lamakati anemilenze emifushane, futhi wazisola, wayisa kulo. Wabiza ikati ngokuthi i-Blackberry, futhi wathandana.
Yeka ukumangala okwaba khona lapho uhhafu wamakati awazalayo nawo, unemilenze emifushane. UHochenedel wanikeza umngane wakhe, uKay LaFrance amakati, waqamba igama lakhe ngokuthi iToulouse. Kwakuvela eBlackberry naseToulouse lapho inzalo yanamuhla yalolu hlobo yahamba khona.
I-Toulouse ikhule mahhala, futhi ichitha isikhathi esiningi ngaphandle, ukuze ngokushesha inani lamakati anemilenze emifushane liqale ukubonakala endaweni. Becabanga ukuthi lolu uhlobo olusha, iHochenedel neLaFrance baxhumana noDkt.Solveig Pfluger, ijaji kwa-TICA.
Wenza ucwaningo futhi wenza isinqumo: uhlobo lwamakati luvele ngenxa yokuguquka kwemvelo, ufuzo olubhekele ubude bezidladla lukhulu kakhulu futhi uhlobo alunazo izinkinga zangemuva ezinja ezinamahlombe amafushane.
Ama-munchkins aqala ukwethulwa emphakathini ngo-1991 embukisweni wamakati kazwelonke we-TICA (The International Cat Association) eMadison Square Garden. Izimfundamakhwela ezibucayi ngokushesha zaphawula lo mhlobo njengongaphepheki, ngoba uzoba nezinkinga zempilo.
Ngemuva kwengxabano enkulu, ngo-1994, i-TICA yaletha ama-Munchkins ohlelweni olusha lokuthuthukiswa kohlobo. Kodwa nalapha bekungekho ngaphandle kwehlazo, ngoba elinye lamajaji laphikisana, labiza lo mhlobo ukwephula izimiso zokuziphatha zezazi zezehlakalo. AbakwaMunchkins bathola isikhundla sokuba ngompetha eTICA ngoMeyi 2003 kuphela.
Ngaphezu kwe-TICA, lo mhlobo uphinde waziwa yi-AACE (I-American Association of Cat Enthusiasts), i-UFO (i-United Feline Organisation), iSouth Africa Cat Council kanye ne-Australia Waratah National Cat Alliance.
Izinhlangano eziningana azikabhalisi uhlobo. Phakathi kwabo: Fédération Internationale Féline (isizathu - ukugula ngokwezakhi zofuzo), uMkhandlu Olawulayo weCat Fancy and Cat Fanciers 'Association.
Ngo-2014, ikati elinguLiliput lafakwa eGuinness Book of Records njengelincane kunawo wonke emhlabeni. Ukuphakama kungamasentimitha angu-5.25 noma amasentimitha ayi-13.34 kuphela.
Njengezinhlobo eziningi ezintsha, ama-Munchkins ahlangabezana nokuphikiswa nenzondo esaphila nanamuhla. Impikiswano mayelana nokuzala inamandla kakhulu, njengoba kuphakanyiswa umbuzo wokuziphatha. Ngabe kufanele uzalise uhlobo olukhubazekile ngenxa yokuguquka kwezakhi zofuzo?
Kodwa-ke, bayakhohlwa ukuthi ukuguquka kwesimo kwakungokwemvelo futhi akudalwanga ngumuntu.
Abathandi bezifundazwe bathi la makati awahluphi nhlobo ngezidladla zabo ezihlukile futhi banikeza isibonelo sejaguarundi, ikati lasendle elinomzimba omude nemilenze emifushane.
Incazelo
Ama-Munchkins ayafana ngazo zonke izindlela namakati ajwayelekile, ngaphandle kobude bemilenze yawo. Umzimba usayizi ophakathi nendawo, unesifuba esibanzi, i-oblong. Isakhiwo samathambo sivezwe kahle, izilwane zinemisipha futhi ziqinile.
Amakati avuthiwe ngokobulili anesisindo esisuka ku-3 kuye ku-4.5 kg, amakati afinyelela ku-2.5-3 kg. Isikhathi sokuphila siyiminyaka eyi-12-13.
Imilenze imifushane, kanti eyangemuva mide kancane kunaleyo yangaphambili. Umsila ungubukhulu obuphakathi nendawo, imvamisa ubude obufanayo nomzimba, onethiphu eyindilinga.
Inhloko ibanzi, ngendlela yesigaxa esishintshiwe esinemigqa ebushelelezi namathambo aphezulu. Intamo inobude obumaphakathi futhi obukhulu. Izindlebe ziphakathi ngosayizi, zibanzi esisekelweni, ziyindilinga kancane ezincomeni, ezisemaphethelweni ekhanda, eduze komqhele wekhanda.
Amehlo asezingeni eliphakathi nendawo, amise okwenadi, abekwe ngobubanzi futhi engeli elincane kuya ezansi kwezindlebe.
Kukhona zombili izinwele ezimfishane nezinwele ezinde. Ama-munchkins anezinwele ezinde anezinwele ezi-silky ezinebhantshi elincane kanye nomhlwenga entanyeni. Izinwele ezijiyile zikhula kusukela ezindlebeni, futhi umsila ugcwele kakhulu.
Izinwele ezimfishane zinengubo ebushelelezi, ethambile yobude obumaphakathi. Umbala wamakati ungaba yinoma yikuphi, kufaka phakathi amaphuzu.
Ukuvumbulula nezinye izinhlobo zamakati anezinwele ezimfishane nezinwele ezinde kuvunyelwe. Amakati anemilenze emide etholakala kulezi ziphambano awavunyelwe embukisweni, kepha angasetshenziswa ekwakhiweni kohlobo uma enemibala ethokozisayo.
Njengoba uhlobo lusencane kakhulu futhi luhlala luweliswa namakati ezinye izinhlobo, umbala, ikhanda nomzimba, ngisho nomlingiswa, kungahluka kakhulu.
Kuzothatha iminyaka ngaphambi kokuba kutholakale amazinga athile ohlobo, afana nalawo ezinye izinhlobo.
Uhlamvu
Uhlamvu uhlukile, ngoba ichibi lezakhi zofuzo lisabanzi futhi kusetshenziswa amakati angenawo amandla futhi ajwayelekile. Lawa amakati athandekayo, amakati amahle.
Amakati anabantu abanobungane, abahle futhi abanothando, ikakhulukazi izingane. Lokhu kuyisinqumo esihle emindenini emikhulu, njengoba ama-munchkins ehlala ekati edlalayo ezimpilweni zabo zonke. Ukubukeka, kanye nomkhuba wokukhuphuka ngemilenze yangemuva ukubheka umhlaba wonke, ngeke kushiye noma ngubani engenandaba. Banelukuluku lokwazi futhi bavuke ngemilenze yabo yangemuva ukuze bahlole okuthile.
Naphezu kwemilenze yabo emifushane, ama-munchkins agijima futhi agxume ngendlela efanayo namakati ajwayelekile. Ziyizikati ezijwayelekile, ezinempilo, ezinokukhethekile ebude bemilenze. Yebo, ngeke bagxume besuka phansi baye ekhabethe ngejubane elilodwa, kepha lokhu bakukhokhela ngamandla abo nangomsebenzi wabo, ngakho-ke uzomangala kuphela.
Bangakwazi nokubamba amagundane, kepha akufanele uwagcine ngaphandle kwendlu. Kukhona ingozi yokulahlekelwa, ngoba la ma-kolobok adonsela ukubukeka kwabantu abahlukahlukene.
Lawa amakati okungewona wonke umuntu angawazi, kepha uma umthanda, awusoze wayeka ukumthanda.
Bengazi nhlobo ukuthi bahlukile ezihlotsheni zabo ezinemilenze emide, bahlala futhi bajabule, bahlala behlekisa, befuna ukwazi, bejabule.
Ukunakekela
Akukho ukunakekelwa okukhethekile okudingekayo, kwanele ukuhlanganisa ijazi kabili ngesonto, ngezinwele ezimfishane kanye kanye.
Zonke ezinye izinqubo zijwayelekile kuzo zonke izinhlobo: ukuhlanzwa kwendlebe nokunqunywa.
Ezempilo
Abahlushwa noma yiziphi izifo ezikhethekile, ngenxa yentsha yohlobo kanye namakati ahlukahlukene abamba iqhaza ekwakhiweni kwayo.
Abanye odokotela bezilwane bakhathazekile ngomgogodla wala makati, ikakhulukazi, i-Lordosis, engathi ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu ithinte inhliziyo namaphaphu ekati.
Kepha ukuthola ukuthi ngabe bane-Lordosis eyeqile, ucwaningo oluningi ludinga ukwenziwa, ngoba uhlobo lusencane. Abalandeli abaningi bayaziphika izinkinga ezinjalo ezifuyweni zabo.
Kukhona nokusola ukuthi ufuzo olubhekele imilenze emifushane lungabulala lapho lutholwa kubazali ababili ngasikhathi sinye. Amakati anjalo afela esibelethweni, bese ancibilika, yize lokhu kungakaqinisekiswa ngokuhlolwa. Kepha, lesi sici sitholakala nakanjani emakati ohlobo lweManx noCimrick, kepha, kubangelwa lapho yisakhi esibhekele ukungabi namsila. Ososayensi banethemba lokulandela umkhondo wenqubo yokwakha ulayini wamakati athambekele kulesi sifo.
Ngokwengxenye kungenxa yokuhluka kwawo, ngokwengxenye ngenxa yokuthandwa kwawo, kodwa amakati amantombazane adingeka kakhulu. Imvamisa ezinkulisa kuba nolayini wazo. Yize kungenjalo kangako futhi kuyabiza; uma uguquguquka ezindabeni zombala, umbala, ubulili, khona-ke ulayini uzoba mfushane kakhulu.
Inkinga yokuzalanisa ama-munchkins ngumbuzo wokuthi wenzeni ngamazinyane enezidladla ezijwayelekile.
