Kinkalonian Mythology

In Loving Memory of our Kinkalow Cat, Klienecatz Mogwai of Forever Kittens Cattery AKA "Moggie."  

"Moggie" AKA "Maguir" our Kinkalow male. RIP 

This is our account of how the Kinkalow cats took their position as "pet" here on earth.

The Kinkalows are a species as old as the center of the Earth.  The Kinkalows wer once revered and held dominion over the center of the Earth. The center of the Earth was knows as Felix Felicis.  (The Latin words for "Luck, happy or fortunate.") The Romans recognized the power of the Kinkalows , and based their language on that spoken by the Kinkalows.  They knew the Kinkalows were revered, therefore, only the elite Romans spoke true Kinkalonian, the commoners spoke vector Latin.  

*Small tip ~ the Kinkalows now find it insulting to be named Felix*

But this was all before Dogma happened.  Dogma rose as a powerful dogtator (dictator).  Dogma's fur was as black as his heart and just as ragged.  un-soft fur meant impurity to the Kinkalows.  You will find that all Kinkalows have soft fur.  But the most unsavory quality of Dogma was his size; he was huge. Since Felix Felicis was in the center of the earth it was a rather small place, so all of it's inhabitants were small.  The smallest of all were the Kinkalows.  but the Kinkalows weren't small to conserve space; they were small because they were the keepers of Luck, and as we all know luck is only good when it comes in small does so it is appreciated.  

After Dogma took over they became even smaller because luck was in short supply..then...their ears kinked.  All cat species are descendants from the ancient Kinkalows, but as you can see the common cats are taller, because they do not hold luck.  More importantly the ears of a common cat are straight.  The luck of the Kinkalows entered and left through the tips of their ears.  When they were straight the luck just ran off, like water off of crystal.  When the ears became kinked it meant that the Kinkalows now had to choose when to dispense their luck.  (Translation ~ Kinkalows...Kinked ears, Low to the ground.)

After Dogma came to power, no more luck was made.  Luck is a very hot substance, which is why Kinkalows are always warm. When Dogma took over, he enslaved the Kinkalows.  He forced to give give their luck to only him.  When a brave Kinkalow refused, Dogma milked it of all its' luck.  when a Kinkalow dispensed all of it's luck, it died.  Dogma was a murderer.  But little did he know that the last drop of luck a Kinkalow gives is the most powerful.  Dogma killed many Kinkalows, and so got many powerful drops of luck.  but Dogma was evil and the luck a Kinkalow gives is a gift, a pure gift.  Dogma corrupted the Luck; so the Luck turned bad.  It ravaged all of Felix Felicis, turning it to Lava (remember ~ luck is hot.)  Though it destroyed Felix Felicis, its heat melted the cage the Kinkalows were in, thus freeing them.

Seeing that their beautiful city was merely a skeleton of its old splendor, and knowing that the ghosts of their brave brothers would forever haunt them, they chose to journey to a place  no other Kinkalow  had ever been.  The outside of Earth.  This i s when the Kinkalows stopped speaking.  their grief over their brothers and city was too much to bear...therefore, they stopped speaking out of kindness to whomever lived topside.  they knew the story they could tell was so horrible it would cause sadness to descend over the topside.  So the final Kinkalows made a vow of silence so that they would always remember what had happened, and we (the humans)  would never have to.  In all their ancient glory the trudged to our world.

The Kinkalows never sought dominion over the topside.  Now the Kinkalows choose their own master.  If a human is lucky enough to be chosen by a Kinkalow, then that human must always be kind to the Kinkalow.  Kinkalows can no longer look into our hearts to see if we are good because they have found that all humans hold evil within them.  the only way a human can show that it is pure is by being kind to all.  But beware, mere human, if a Kinkalow were ever to be forced into servitude again then all the Kinkalows would disappear in a puff of dust and our world would be ravaged by corrupted luck, just as it was all those years ago.

A Brief Mention:

The Kinkalow dwarf cat is a deliberate out-cross (a hybrid) between the founding dwarf cat the Munchkin and an American Curl. 

The first Kinkalow cat was deliberately bred by Terri Harris of Munchkinlane Cattery, in the mid 1990s.  Terri Harris is the first elected Munchkin Breed Chair in The International Cat Association - TICA.   Kinkalows are Dwarf Cats with curled ears as expected. 

Terri Harris also came up with the Breed name "Kinkalow" because they do have kinked ears and are low to the ground.  

The first deliberately bred Kinkalow is named "Munchkinlanes Kinkalow Louie" bred by Terri Harris.

Thank you Terri for producing such an amazing breed of cat to share with the rest of us!
