The typical Lambkin is an appealing cat of moderate type. Its overall appearance should resemble that of a curly coated lamb with short legs.

It takes its soft plush coat and substance from the Selkirk Rex and its legs and modified wedge with rounded contours from the Munchkin.

A member of the Lilliputian Breed Group, the Lambkin may be bred in all colours and patterns, in both shorthair and longhair.
