Tenth place – cat of the Napoleon breed

An amazing dwarf cat with an equally amazing breed name, was bred by crossing Munchkins and Persian cats. As a result of mating, the result was a very cute and fluffy cat with an average weight of 2.3 - 4 kg. Animals of this breed are very affectionate and gentle; from the first days of being in a new home, they become incredibly attached to their new family. When caring for Napoleon, pay special attention to your pet's eyes.

Already want a mini cat? Take your time

By 2014, the breed's population numbered only 25 individuals, given the breed's reproduction rate - a cat brings 1-3 kittens per year, representatives of Toy Bob will remain a “curiosity” for a long time. The price for kittens ranges from 200 to 400 dollars. The smallest cat breed in the world has a canine character. Skif-tay-toy-Don is a full-fledged companion and does not “walk on his own.” Also, the “spiritual parents” of the breed claim that even adult cats do not smell or mark territory.

It would seem that continuous advantages and even the price can be overcome with a strong desire, but:

  • Skiff-tay-toy-Don has a long way to go through popularization, as a result of which blood relatives and cats close in origin will be “brought together.”
  • If the breed survives the next 10 years, then inbreeding will make itself felt.
  • There will be a sufficient amount of “culling” among the litter of purebred parents, which dishonest breeder-businessmen will certainly take advantage of.

Ninth place - bambino

Animals of this breed are short-legged hairless cats. They were the result of mating a short-legged munchkin and a Canadian Sphynx. This breed was bred in the USA, and the animals weigh 2.2 - 4 kg. Keeping a bambino is quite simple; you just need to remember that hairless cats often get sick. Therefore, in winter, if the apartment is too cold, dress your pet. This is not only good for his health, but also very stylish.

The most tame, kind and affectionate cat breeds

Seventh place - munchkin

This cat breed was the result of a natural mutation. The main feature of cats is their short legs. Due to their appearance, animals of this breed are original and cute. The short legs of the munchkins did their job, and this breed is incredibly popular and in demand. In 2014, the American Munchkin received the status of the shortest cat in the world and was included in the Guinness Book of Records. The cat's height was only 13.34 cm.

Nastya has two channels on YouTube: one is dedicated to reviews and walkthroughs of popular games, the other is dedicated to vlogs and various thematic videos about food and personal care. In the second area, her work is somewhat similar to the vlogs of Maryana Ro and Sasha Spielberg.

Given the unique structure of the coat, animals of this breed require special care. Skookum are kind and affectionate cats that delight their owners every day.

How did miniature cats appear?

In recent decades, cats have ceased to be considered as indispensable assistants in the fight against rodents. Therefore, for more than 30 years, the breeding activities of felinologists have been aimed at breeding ornamental breeds with exclusive external characteristics. And since ordinary people have become fashionable for miniature animals, many dwarf varieties have been created in recent years.

Almost all small cats are the result of hybridization or gene mutation. Therefore, it is not surprising that dwarf varieties have many disadvantages, the main ones of which are:

  • little knowledge of hereditary diseases;
  • limited gene pool;
  • instability.

In fifth place is a breed called Dwelf.

To create this breed, breeders worked hard and crossed the Munchkin, the Canadian Sphynx and the American Curl. As a result of mating, the result was a rather cute hairless kitten with short legs. Keeping a cat of this breed is not difficult, but you need to remember that by inheritance from three different breeds, the Dwelf has a stubborn character. Therefore, a cat must be raised correctly from an early age. Adults of this breed weigh from 1.8 to 3 kg.

Other small breeds

There are other types of cats, differing in their miniature dimensions.

American Curl

This small cat weighs no more than 4.5 kg. He has a remarkable appearance and a playful, good-natured disposition. All American Curl kittens are born with straight ears, but after a few days they begin to curl back.

Devon Rex

This small cat has a graceful physique and a memorable appearance. The Devon Rex is easy to recognize by its large, expressive eyes, huge splayed ears and short, curled mustache.

As an adult, he weighs no more than 4.5 kg and can compete for the title of smallest cat.

Balinese cat

Representatives of the breed have slender, graceful bodies, shiny coats and fluffy tails. Graceful little cats weigh no more than 4 kg and look like Siamese, only with long hair.

Abyssinian cat

Thoroughbred Abyssinians are distinguished by their active temperament and graceful physique. These narcissistic, small, graceful cats weigh no more than 4.5 kg. And their toned bodies are covered with a luxurious shiny fur coat of wild, fawn, red or blue color.

First place – skif-tay-don

The first kitten of this breed appeared in 1988 in Rostov-on-Don. A Thai Bobtail breeder crossed a Thai cat with four kinks on its tail and a Thai cat with a non-standard donut-shaped tail. As a result of this mating, the founder of the breed was born, who was named Kutsy. In 1994, the first Scythian-Tai-Don breed standard was approved. Adult cats weigh from 900 g to 2 kg.

Miniature cats are a real decoration for every home. But remember that they need special, careful care. Because small pets cannot fend for themselves. Under no circumstances should such a cat be allowed out for a walk unattended.

VKontakte: vk.com/minikotic Instagram: instagram.com/minikotic YouTube: youtube.com/user/Minik... Live channel: //www.youtube.com/chan...
Twitch channel: https://www. twitch.tv/minikotic

The real name of the famous online streamer Minikotic is Nastya Perepyatko.

She was born in sunny Odessa and still lives there.

The unusual thing about this girl is that she has 2 popular channels at once, which have different topics and are aimed at very different audiences.

The first channel called “Minikotic Live” appeared in 2011 and its content could be called truly female. Here girls of all ages could find cooking, reviews of beauty purchases, girl vlogs and much, much more.

The audience really liked the unusual presentation and the fact that in every video Nastya always had cute plush ears on her head. The channel gradually expanded and received new subscribers every day.

At some point, Perepyatko begins to record joint videos with a fairly well-known YouTuber-let-player DILLERON , in life Nikolai Theologian.

Then, on their pages on social networks, the guys begin to post photos together and hint at romantic feelings.

The ending of this novel was unexpected, but natural - the guys got married. In marriage, Nastya took her husband’s surname and now she is Anastasia Bogoslova.

By the way, it was marriage that became the impetus for the fact that in 2013 Minikotic opened a new channel called “Minikotic ★ Play” .

It's entirely dedicated to let's plays! This project gained particular popularity after reviews of the game Minecraft.

By the way, here too, husband and wife often appear together, play, stream and fool around. On December 26, 2014, the couple even posted a video online about their move to a new apartment; before that they lived with their parents.

Unfortunately, at this moment this is all the information that fans know about Nastya. But the girl is not going to end her YouTube career, so it is quite possible that even more will be known about her soon.

Nastya currently has two children: a boy Gerhard and a girl Alisa.

Mr. Peebles, included in the Guinness Book of Records

It is difficult to say what the name of the breed to which Mr. Pibbles belongs is. The similarity with an ordinary tabby cat is off the scale, however, the record holder distinguished himself from all his tailed relatives. An adult cat weighing 1.3 kg and a body length of 15 cm lives in America, Illinois.

Unfortunately, the cat had to go through a lot of tests; the first owner considered him a “mistake of nature” and eventually decided to place him in good hands. The new “mother” found the baby herself; the veterinarian Donna, who visited the house of M. Pibbles, suspected the owner of improperly keeping the cat. The doctor suggested that the owner give the cat back, and he happily agreed. After placing the baby in the clinic and providing enhanced nutrition, a few months later Donna and her colleagues were convinced that the cat was not going to grow.
