The stories about the creation of the name come from the someone who created the breed and invented the name. Fittingly, sometimes the name, just like the dwarf cat, is a hybrid itself.

French Connection Coats

Genetta: This is a dwarf cat created and named by Shannon Kiley of Pawstruk Cattery in 2006. Genettas are being registered as an experimental breed with The International cat connection (Tica).

Dwarf Cats - The Origin Of The Names Of The Breeds

Shannon came up with the name "Genetta" as the breed is "being modeled after the African Genet and part of the scientific name for a genet is 'genetta'. So I thought that would be very fitting and unique" (Shannon Kiley). The African Genet is catlike in appearance and habit but not a cat. It has a longish body and widely spaced black spots. It is a member of the house Viverridae, which includes mongooses.

To accomplish the look Shannon developed the Genetta using breeds such as munchkins, bengals, savannahs, Dsh, and Oriental Shorthairs.

Skookum: This dwarf cat breed was developed Roy Galusha straight through the intentional breeding of the Munchkin to the LaPerm. When I asked him how he arrived at the name for this dwarf cat breed he gave this full and inspiring answer, which is reproduced here with his permission:

"I can tell you the retort on the Skookum, since we created the breed.

When the breed was first started (our first accidental cross), we (not just us, some Habitancy in our circle who knew about them), jokingly referred to them as LaMerms (taking the M from Munchkin and replacing the P in the LaPerm.) When we sought recognition as a breed, we wanted to find a good descriptor of the breed, and thought about the name "Poco Chino" which means short and curly in Spanish. However, someone in Ufo who knew Spanish pointed out that that also means "Little Chineese", so we scrapped that. After doing a lot of talking and brainstorming, we decided to give it a Native American name. My wife is part Cherokee, so we researched Cherokee names; however, the descriptor names did not have a good flow. We then decided to go with a local North West Native American name (since we were living in Washington State). We looked at quite a few names, and researched the meanings. A local Native American word that comes from the Chinook language and was part of the Chinook Trade Language was Skookum (pronounced Skoo Kum). The word Skookum means mighty, fine or great. It is also used to signify good health or good spirits. If someone of course likes something, they might refer to it as being of course skookum ("Boy that apple pie is skookum") or if you of course like a horse ("that is one skookum horse). So we figured that was the perfect name for the breed. determined Tica officials used the name to object to it being thorough as a breed claiming that the word Skookum means scary monster such as a big foot. This is partially literal, in the fact that the spelling Skookum is also used to recapitulate Big Foot, the pronunciation is completely different. Below is the explanation from Tony Johnson, Cultural Committee Chair for the Chinook Tribe.

"As per our conversation this morning, the Chinuk Wawa language has two words differing only by their stress that have been popularly written as "skookum." We write these two words the same, except for their stress: "sku'kum" for something that is strong, tough, brave or impressive, and "skuku'm" for something scary or a "monster." Typically English speakers stress the first syllable of a word, and your spelling (which is typical historically) reflects that. The word "skookum" for your useis both not "demonic," and is in fact appropriate. Additional consulation of the word "skuku'm seems unnecessary in that it is not the term you are using. As I noted, the word you are using also can be used in a context to mean something like English "healthy." In this case it basically means your (body is) "strong." I hope this helps you, and I can see where this blurring would come from. The blurring is entirely based on the problematic nature of Habitancy writing Native words and then other Habitancy reading them who have never heard actual pronunciation. In our language you could never confuse these two words or their connected meanings."

hayu masi (many thanks),Tony A. JohnsonCulture committee ChairChinook Indian Tribe / Chinook Nation

The someone who I believe started all the flack in Tica about the name Skookum would know the incompatibility as her husband is one of the foremost experts on big foots nation wide, and I understand that he has written some books and manuscripts on Big Foot, to include a tube about the use of the word Skookum in Chinook language and how it pertains to Big Foot. They would know the literal, pronunciation for Big Foot as used by the local natives and would know the differences in the meanings; however used that to side rail the registration process. The Skookum has also been referred to as the Shirley Temple cat, because it is short and curly. That was a marketing strategy when Cat Fancy first allowed us to advertise them. We came up with that slogan as the best descriptor of the cat. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

I can't add a thing to that! Great answer.

Napolean: This exiguous dwarf cat was developed by the intentional mating of the Munchkin to the Persian or exotic shorthair, by Joe Smith. Napoleons are currently registered as Experimental with Tica but recognized as a breed with Tdca (The Dwarf Cat Association).

I confess that I have yet to get an retort to my enquiries about this name. However, a bit of rational and logical thought leads me to this conclusion. This cat is a dwarf cat which is short of stature. Napolean Bonaparte (the French normal while the French Revolution) was short of stature by the standards of today (5 feet 6 inches). Also most of the napoleons that I have seen are white and Napoleaon Bonaparte rode a white horse (is there a connection there?). There probably is no connection there and the name simply originated from the short stocky ageement profile of this dwarf cat which mirrored Napolean Bonaparte.

Kinkalow: The kinkalow dwarf cat results from the mating of an American Curl to a Munchkin. Terri Harris developed this breed and says this about the name:

"The Kinkalow name was decided on while I was at Kinkos getting some copies make. The Kinkalow has kinky ears and low legs, Kink+low = Kinkalow". Although Terri doesn't mention this there is a cat-like animal called a Kinkajou (a Honey Bear or Cat Monkey) and I wonder if this name influenced her decision.

Dwelf: This is simple! It is a mixture of dwarf cat and elf. Being a Cross in the middle of Muchkin, Sphynx and American Curl. This dwarf cat is short, hairless and ears that curl back at the tips.

Munchkin: In 1983 music educator Sandra Hochenedel discovered two cats hiding under a vehicle. She rescued them; both had short, stubby legs. She called them Munchkins after the exiguous Habitancy in The Wizard of Oz. This is the founding dwarf cat.

Bambino: Stephanie and Pat Osborne of the Holy Moly cattery organised this dwarf cat breed. As Pat is of Italian discharge and as the cat keeps its kitten like appearance and character throughout its life they named it "Bambino".

Lambkins: A right dictionary definition, I think, provides the answer. Lambkins means "very young lamb". Lambkin cats are a new dwarf cat breed that comes from the cross of a Munchkin and Selkirk Rex to produce curly haired kittens, just like a exiguous lamb.

Knook: A Knook is a type of immortal being or fairy in the work of L.Frank Baum. Knooks are the guardians over the animals. They had a crooked appearance. (source: Wikipedia). I confess I explore on the name of this dwarf cat breed produced nothing.

However, if a knook is a fairy that gives the clue. A fairy is delicate and small. A knook is a Kinkalow with a LaPerm/Skookam-type curled coat and that means this cat is going to be pretty delicate and small....
