Buschka had a single coated shortie ticked tabby boy. She’s also decided to share Embers litter so they’re coparenting for at least the time being. Definitely have had a streak of small litters lately but thankfully everyone is happy and healthy and that’s the most important thing.

Busy day here with 2 litters born! Neither momma decided to go in their nice warm cozy boxes, Willow was happy with a dog bed and Misha thought a laundry basket was ideal. Will update once things settle with individual pictures and genders.

Our short break from breeding is coming to a close. Over the next few months we’re intending to do some breedings, in the center is our male, Valentinas Pride Diamond, and around him are our females. All of our straight coated females are Rex carriers. We are anticipating a lot of fun colors and beautiful kittens!

We always get questions on what varieties minskins come in and what the differences are. And it’s of course a very understandable question. Hopefully this post will help elaborate and clear things up.

The black bicolor kitten in the top left is a standard minskin. He has short legs and fur points, which is what the breed standard calls for hence the name. If a kitten is fully Rex coated and has short legs they are still referred to as standard minskins but are less preferable. A fully naked short legged cat is a different breed called the bambino.

The seal mink smoke bicolor in the top right photo is a nonstandard coated shortie. They look similar to munchkin cats but still have the exotic features, small size, and playful temperament of minskins. They are often the result of outcrosses to coated breeds such as Burmese, exotic shorthair, domestic shorthair, etc.

The Lilac in the bottom left is a nonstandard long leg Rex, affectionately referred to as “Teddy Rex.” Teddy Rex can be fur pointed like this boy or fully Rex coated. Even being long legged they absolutely are still minskins, especially because even if breeding 2 short legged cats the resulting litters will always have some percentage of long legged kittens. They are occasionally mistaken for Devon Rex, which is one of the minskins foundation breeds.

Lastly the chocolate calico in the bottom right corner is a nonstandard long leg coated. They have normal fur and long legs much like your average cat. While not nearly as sought after as the other varieties they do still share the exotic look, smaller size, and wonderful minskin personality.

Hopefully this helps to clear things up for everyone, and no matter whatever variety you like best I’m sure you will love having them become part of your family. There truly is nothing like having a minskin cat.

Pooka had a litter of 3 kittens today. From what I can tell there’s a long leg Rex black and white male, a seal mink bicolor standard male, and what I believe to possibly be a sepia standard female. Yuri is the father of this litter.

Misha just had 5 kittens! Though I suspect there may be 1 more in there… There’s a black bicolor standard boy, a red bicolor standard boy, a Chocolate LL straight coat boy, a Black bicolor LL straight coat girl, and a short leg straight coat van girl who I think is lilac. Overall a good delivery and a healthy litter!

Something interesting happened with our latest 2 litters and I thought I’d share it with everyone. Arya and Misha had kittens 10 days apart. Misha had 2 standards and Arya had a singleton long leg Rex boy. Interestingly all 3 kittens kept ending up in one box, I separated them a few times thinking they were thieving kittens but soon realized that wasn’t the case. They had decided to coparent. Misha also just so happens to be Aryas mother, which to me makes this picture even sweeter.
