I had a dwarf cat bred from one of mine last year and I fought like a good'un to keep her alive, she lived til 10 week old then I lost her. These people that breed designer handbag size cats disgust me

Aw that's really sad. This thread has opened my eyes to what is going on possibly not on a grand scale but wrong just the same.

I didn't realise mini cats existed until this post.
Our 2 year old male cat, Gizmo is very small compared to other males of the same age and I just put it down to him possibly being the runt of the litter, but as he was abandoned and hand reared I guess I'll never know.
He eats just as much as his sister who is quite a lot bigger than him

He'll probably catch up with time and plenty of good diet lass

My two kittens (brothers) Sooty was a lot smaller than SWeep now they are just about the same size, if there is a difference its hardly noticeable.

Aww she is lovely!

But yes, to me she just looks like a 4 month old kitten should look!

These teacup sized cats (or dogs) are what is normally known as 'the runt of the litter' and is common in any breed of cat in any litter. They are definitely not 'rare' as is claimed but an excuse to charge a ridiculous price.

Totally agree there.

I didn't think there was a "mini" cat breed.

Obviously, you will get the odd cat that is extremely small compared to others, but not because they're a certain breed. As the above poster said really...

Our cat Lottie is quite small as dsh's go... whereas Leo is quite a big fella, Lottie has always been small though.. Leo was quite small when we got him but a lot of medicine and a good diet sorted him out. Lotties still the boss of the two though.. bloody women
