The smallest breed of cats

As you know, fashion on exotic pets does not pass, but only grows, and our kind, fluffy, mustachioed striped friends are cats, this is no exception. Someone wants to run around the house a large fluffy, meowing cat, more likely reminiscent of a hippo, but someone likes small domestic cats, quiet, calm, which can easily be held and ironed. Agree, such a miracle of nature and genetic engineering can not but cause admiration and affection. About the most famous dwarfish breeds of our murching friends, we now talk.

Popular breed of small cats

The smallest representatives of the kingdom of tiny cats are Singapurs . The muscular body of these pets is covered with a golden-cream or sable-brown silky coat, while large, expressive amber or green colors always attract attention. The weight of the male can reach 3 kg, the girls do not exceed 2 kg, so they are rightly considered to be representatives of one of the smallest breeds of domestic cats.

Scythian-tai-to-dong is also considered a miniature and very attractive. Toy-Bob - the second name of these cats, much less Singapura, the weight of one adult cat barely reaches 2.5 kg, and cats even less - 1 kg. They have light wool, often creamy, beige with dark spots on the muzzle, ears , paws and tail. Despite the fact that the Scythian tai-to-dong is one of the smallest breeds of cats in the world, they are pretty pugnacious. They are not afraid of loud noises, screams, they can easily stand up for themselves and often fight with their relatives, but they do not show any aggression towards their family members.

Another contender for the title of the smallest breed of cats is a rusty cat . Its unusual and not quite attractive name this animal received because of bright red spots on its gray wool. Their weight sometimes falls short of 1.5 kg, and the length does not exceed 48 cm. The homeland of the rusty cat is Sri Lanka , which is why these pets like to hunt rodents and birds, which is furious with farmers.

Nature miracle

Officially, the first place in the list of the smallest domestic cats is rightfully left to the tiniest fuzzy Mr. Pibbles. This breed appeared accidentally, as a result of a genetic defect, but at the same time it earned tremendous popularity not only in the USA where it was bred, but also all over the world. The two-year-old Pibble's cat weighs only 1.3 kg, and the length is only 15 cm, so that it can easily fit even on the human palm.
