But does everyone know that among the most popular breeds of these pets there are tiny specimens? Below is a list of the 10 smallest cats in the world, photos, names and description of the breeds.

The smallest cat breeds

10. American curl, weight up to 4.5 kg

This breed of cats has an unusual shape of the ears. Although when a kitten of an American curl comes to this world its ears are straight, but after a week they begin to curl. From this came the name of the breed, from the English "curl" - curl. Outwardly, these ears give pets an expression of eternal surprise. But this feature requires regular care. The American curl loves attention and children. An adult cat reaches a weight of 4.5 kg and is one of the most expensive breeds.

9. Bambino - 4 kg

Bambino cats appeared by chance. Once an American couple bought a kitten and gave him the nickname "Bambino" (which in Italian means a child). The kitten was distinguished by an elongated body and short legs. With this tiny lump, one of the smallest cat breeds in the world began. The weight of an adult bambino is about 4 kg.

8. Napoleon - 4 kg

These dwarf cats are descended from munchkins (they are in our rating below) and Persian cats, thanks to them they are very fluffy and short-legged. Their hair is both short and long. They also have large, wide-set eyes. They easily go into the hands of strangers, which is fraught with the danger of losing a beloved animal. Eternal kittens Napoleon reach a weight of up to 4 kg.

7. Boredom - 3.6 kg

These cats were bred artificially by combining laperma and munchkins in the 90s in the USA. Their creator Roy Galush wanted to bring out the smallest cat in the world and got the most curly one. Roy Galush gave them the name "boredom" from an Indian dictionary, meaning "strong, brave." Their distinctive feature is wavy, long hair. The average weight of an adult cat boredom reaches 3.6 kg.

6. Munchkin - 3.6 kg

The tiny cat lumps of munchkin are immediately evident thanks to their short legs. Therefore, they are deservedly called the feline analogue of the dachshund. They, unlike other breeds in our top 10 ranking, were not bred artificially, but due to a mutation in the 40s in America. The name was given to them there, in honor of a small nation from the work “Wizards of the Emerald City”. Their average weight is 3.6 kg.

5. Dwelf - 3 kg

The emergence of this extraordinary breed was promoted by three others: the aforementioned American curls, Canadian sphinxes and munchkins. From each of the three dwarves “took” different features: back curled ears from curls, lack of wool from sphinxes and short paws from munchkins. Their complex name "dwelf" came from the merger of the two words, and translates as "dwarf cat elf." They are not particularly active, but more sensitive and touchy. The weight of an adult dwarf is on average 2.5-3 kg.

4. Minskin - 2.8 kg

This dwarf breed of hairless cats was also bred in the United States, by crossing the Canadian Sphynx and Manchkin. Their appearance resembles that of a dog, perhaps that is why they easily and get along with “our smaller brothers”. Like dogs, they love company. The exotic look of Minsk gives them the presence of wool only on the legs, head and tail. Their weight ranges from 1.8 to 2.8 kg.

3. Kinkalou - 2.7 kg

In the emergence of this extraordinary type of dwarf cats, the aforementioned Manchkins and American Curls were “guilty” in 1997. Because they appeared relatively recently, their number in the world totals only a few dozen. They are easy to spot thanks to their swirling ears and short paws. Their disposition is light, agile and playful. The average weight of kinkalau cats does not exceed 2.7 kg.

2. Singapore - 2.6 kg

The Singaporean cat has a miniature size, muscular body and silky hair. She also has an elongated muzzle and slightly large ears.

Weight average Singapore 2.6 kg.

1. Toy-bean - 2.5 kg

They are also called Skif-tai-dong. The name of this breed happened: “Scythian” - for the appearance of Scythians on the former lands, “toy” - a toy and “Don” - in honor of the Rostov-on-Don River. The representative of this small breed of cats has a short, but very thick coat and a funny tail in the form of a pompon on a children's hat. Their hind legs are longer than their forelegs. Toy-bean cats are brave to the extreme. They are not even afraid of fire, which is the main cause of fear for all the animals of the planet. The weight of the toy bean does not exceed 2.5 kg. They have honorably earned 1st place in our ranking of the smallest cat breeds in the world!

The smallest cat in the world - Tinker Toy

The tiniest cat ever to live is a Himalayan cat named Tinker Toy. He lived in a Forbes family in the USA. Take a look at the photo, its weight - 680 grams, length - 18 cm, height - 7 cm. This allowed the crumbs to get into the Guinness Book of Records.

Mr. Peebles

Another cat, honored to get into the Book of Records, as the smallest of adult cats living on Earth. It is noteworthy that Mr. Peebles has no owners, he lives in a veterinary clinic. The secret of his growth is not in the breed, but in a genetic disorder that stopped Peebles at 2 years old when the cat weighed 1 kg 300 grams and reached a length of 15 centimeters.
