Minskin History
The Minskin is only a decade old. It began to be developed in Boston in 1998 by breeder Paul McSorley, who achieved the look and personality he wanted by crossing the Sphynx and the Munchkin. By 2000, he had produced the first standard Minskin, and by 2005 more than 50 were in existence, as well as variants that had long legs and full coats. The breed is seeking recognition from The International Cat Association (TICA).
