Is that... a corgi style cat breed? Feel bad for the poor thing. Short legs will severely hamper its ability to jump.

They're called Munchkins. They should be illegal to breed.

I think this one is a regular cat who is still crouched down from sniffing its stylish accessory. It just looks like it's a fully standing Munchkin because of the perspective, diffuse lighting and floof ruffles on the shoulderblades that are very slightly out of frame. The curve top right looks like it might be its left hip.

Also wishful thinking. I hope the lizard went on to lead a long and fulfilling life too, for what it's worth.

That cat is definitely just crouching.

Seriously. It's bad enough with all the dog breeds with major health problems. But cats need to be able to jump. That's like half of their life enjoyment, stolen at birth.

For what it's worth, this looks like the standard cat crouch position that my cats do all the time. It's one step away from the regular cat loaf.

This cat's legs are very likely normal length, they're just hidden in that white fur.
