Skookum Cats
History
The Skookum cat was developed in the 1990s by Roy Galusha. The aim of the breeding programme was to produce a breed wtih short legs and a curly coat. This was achieved by crossing Munchkins with LaPerms. Other breeders joined the programmes from America, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia.
The Skookum is a fairly new breed and is only recognised as an experimental breed currently.
