Nature contains a trembling and gentle attitude to the young in people. Cats are our closest neighbors, living side by side all life. Kittens with big touching eyes are very touching, but they quickly grow. In order to realize the desire of the owners to take care of a small defenseless creature, dwarf breeds of cats were bred.
Munchkin
This breed originated in 1983. Its homeland is America. A distinctive feature of these cats are disproportionately short paws, why the cat of the breed is similar to the dachshund. The length of the coat and color are very diverse. Cats of this type appear from crossing cats, of which only one has short paws. In the litter, only one kitten will be dwarfish.
Munchkins are very smart and curious. If Munchkin was interested in an incomprehensible object, he would show great persistence in understanding everything thoroughly. These cats do not like to jump or sit on the hands of a man, but they follow their master relentlessly, like to climb and run.
Lamkin
Lamkin is the result of crossing munchkin and selkirk-rex. Another name for the breed is the dwarf rex. Most often they are bred in New Zealand and the USA.
In general, this breed is still very rare. Cats of this breed are similar to lambs with long soft wool. This coat needs special care. On the limbs, the coat is usually darker than on the body, the head has a wedge shape, the ears are large, pointed.
Particular attention is attracted to the beautiful light gray coat color of cats of Singapore. This is the smallest breed among dwarf cats.
Singapore - the smallest breed among cats However, breed cats more than compensate for the small size of their activity and sociability. They are simple in content: it is only necessary to periodically comb them and cut their claws. Because of the low weight (about 1.5 kg), lumbar spine may require a caesarean section.
Bambino
The name of the breed is translated from Italian as "child". These are amazing cats, the result of crossing the munchkin and sphinx. From Munchkin, they inherited short paws, and from the Sphinx - the absence of hair. Only the tips of the ears have brushes.
From the Sphinx got character: active, inquisitive, benevolent. The habit of sitting on hind legs is the legacy of Munchkin. Care for these cats is simple. We must not forget to bathe them regularly, make sure that the cats do not freeze, cut their claws and clean their ears.
Napoleon
The name of the breed was given by Napoleon, who was known to be of short stature, and was also afraid of cats. There was a breed recently, about 10 years ago, the ancestors of it are Munchkin and Persian cat.
Napoleon - a breed that combines many valuable qualities Cats of the Napoleon breed are completely non-aggressive, they are happy to communicate with all members of the family. From the Persians, cats inherited widely planted round eyes and wool, to the touch resembling a plush. The length and color of the coat may be different. Problems with breathing, like the Persians, have no Napoleon, but they are predisposed to polycystic kidney disease. Care for these cats is common: you need to regularly clean your ears, wipe your eyes, cut your claws, brush your hair twice a week.
Minskin
The result of crossing the munchkin and sphinx, later also the Burmese cat and Devon Rex. A distinctive feature are the front paws, which are shorter than the rear, and the tail, which, on the contrary, is very long. The wool is partially or completely absent. It is better to wash these cats with baby shampoo.
The cats of Minskin breed possess irrepressible energy. They are trustful, affectionate, and get along very well with other pets.
Scythian-to-bean (or Scythian-tai-don)
Color resembles the color of Siamese cats, but the shades can vary, there may be strips and spots. Ears are set high, pointed. The head is wedge-shaped. An adult skiff-to-bean is no more than a six-month-old cat of a normal cat. The body is strong, and the tail is very short.
The undoubted advantage of this breed is the lack of the desire of cats to mark the territory. Cats love to play. They become attached to the owners and are bored with a long separation. They like to wear different things in their teeth.
Skukum
The breed is experimental, appeared in the US recently, in the 90's. The ancestors of the breed are curly laperm and munchkin. It is impossible to get offspring from boredom and other species, since the kittens will have deformed paws.
The wool of the boredom is curly. There are individuals with wool of various lengths. The shorter the coat is, the more spicy it is. Color can be different. These cats have a developed thorax, their hind legs are shorter than the forelegs. Care is reduced to a periodic (1-2 times a week) combing the wool.
So, the diversity of dwarf breeds of cats is very large and continues to replenish, which is facilitated by new experiments and the resulting knowledge.

What is she, the smallest cat in the world?
As to which representative of the cat family has the smallest size, there are many rumors. However, the tiniest cats, kittens and cats are included in the Guinness Book of Records.
Mr. Peebles
A cat with such a nickname was entered in the Guinness Book of Records in 2004. This small miracle was born in America, in the state of Illinois. His master, Robin Svendson, gave him the nickname in honor of the ventriloquist's doll of the then popular Seinfeld series. In its two years, this kitten weighed only one kilogram of three hundred grams, in length it reached fifteen centimeters. However, this breed is not at all dwarfish. According to doctors, the stoppage of Mr. Peebles's growth was promoted by a certain genetic disorder.
Tinker Toy
The title "The smallest cat in the world" was also appropriated to this fluffy miracle. He lived in the US in the Forbes family, and weighed only 681 grams. The height and length of the cat were seven and nineteen centimeters, respectively. This fuzzy belonged to the breed of Himalayan cats.
A kitten with such a nickname can also be called "the most-most". Small, of course. He appeared in the world in a family residing in San Diego. At the age of three and a half months, his weight was a little less than a kilogram. As for the growth of the kitten, it reached at this age only eight centimeters.
Fizz Gel
This baby is also known as the smallest cat in the world. She got into the Guinness Book of Records thanks to her unusually short paws. Cats of the Munchkin breed are not distinguished by their long legs. As a rule, they have two or three times shorter kitties than ordinary domestic predators. But the "nominated" Fizz has even less of their length. Her height from the shoulders to the floor is only 15.24 centimeters. The age of this little cat at the time of measurement was only two years. Despite her short paws, she quietly jumps on the windowsills, easily and casually engaged in other cat's pranks.

Cats of this breed and others, also not very large, are ideal for lovers of kittens, not large adult cats and cats.

What is the most common animal living in people's homes around the world? Of course, it's a cat! A sweet, affectionate creature who walks by itself and delivers so many pleasant moments to her mistress.
Most often in our house, she or he gets another kitten. His little body, fitting on the palms of his hands, big eyes, short paws and playful disposition - is something that no mistress can resist. And so you want the pet to stay as long as possible!
Professional breeders of cats have decided to satisfy this desire of the inhabitant and have deduced some breeds of undersized (or as they still name small, dwarfish) cats. These include: Munchkin, Minskin, Singapore, Lamkin, Skukum, Red spotted, Bambino, Skif-tai-dong and Skif-to-bean. But give a little more detail about each breed of dwarf cats.
Dwarf cat breeds
Such an intricate name, this breed of small cats received in honor of fairy heroes, more precisely, the whole people living in Oz. Munchkins have almost the same body as a normal cat, a long body, but only with short paws.
They were removed in America in 1983. This is one of the most unusual breeds of dwarf cats in the world. Till munchkin lies, it is no different from a normal cat. But when he gets up, everyone is surprised to see that he has very short paws and an elongated body, like a dachshund. These dwarf cats are of different colors. And their wool can be either short or long.
Munchkin can hardly be called a "jumper". Because of the short legs and large body, it is very difficult for them to make high and long jumps. But they perfectly compensate this lack of their own by the great speed of climbing and ingenuity. Everyone who sees a running manchik for the first time can barely restrain himself from laughing - so funny this breed wags the back part of the trunk (which does not affect the running speed in any way).
If you decide to breed munchkin, then prepare for certain difficulties. So, it is impossible to cross two short-legged munchkins, one of them must necessarily have long paws. Another difficulty - out of all the litter of the born kittens, only one will be short-necked.
Speaking about the nature of this breed of small cats, it is necessary to emphasize two such features as curiosity and perseverance. If they are interested in something, they will not rest until they find an answer, or the reason for the sounds being released, light flashes, etc.
They will necessarily achieve (by any means) what they really want, regardless of your, master's desire. Also, Munchkin loves his masters "at a distance." He always and everywhere will accompany you around the house, try to be near. But sitting on your hands is not for him.
Minskin
Minskins (min - small paws, skin - skin) - a breed of small cats for lovers of all the unusual, extraterrestrial. Imagine a cat: with large ears, with round eyes like an alien; and a body the size of a gnome. This breed takes its origin in Boston, when several breeds were crossed at once: Munchkin, Sphinx, Devonian Rex and Burmans.
A little about the appearance of the animal. Minskins have little wool, and they are of three types: hairless, completely covered with wool and partially covered with wool (only on the paws, ears and tail). Their hind legs are longer than the forelegs. This breed also has a long tail, which can be even longer than the body.
Since Minskins have practically no wool, the sweat and fat compartments accumulate on the surface of the skin, which leads to its rapid contamination. Therefore, you need to bathe every week, using only a soft washcloth and gentle shampoos (not to harm the skin).
Mischkines are very sociable, a rare breed of small cats, which will always be the size of a kitten. They are open and mobile. These are simply tireless "players" who can become friends for anyone. Despite their small growth, they are very loving not only in relation to people, but also to other animals. They like being part of a big family.
Singapore
Singapore - the breed is not just small, but the smallest of all short and short-legged cats. They are very similar to Abyssinians. Despite the fact that the adult female weighs only 1.5 kg., The Singaporeans are quite strong and persevering.
In addition, they are bright personalities who are energetic, curious and very smart. Most of all these dwarf cats like being in the thick of things. Therefore, no matter in the house can not do without this sweet creature. And they love to meow!
Where did these cats come from? There are several different opinions about their origin: that they were taken to the US or brought from Singapore. There is also a third opinion - a cross between Burmese and Abyssinians.
A distinctive feature of all singapore is their tiny body. However, wool is more impressive. The official name of her color is "Sepia agouti", which means "light gray", evenly distributed throughout the body. To care for them is simple: they are enough to comb twice a month and cut their claws. Although there are not so pleasant sides to this little animal. So, for example, because of the small size of the body, singpurs can very rarely breed themselves. Veterinarians recommend their owners to be attentive, if the cat is about to settle about, then you should contact the clinic for an operation.
In general, the Singaporeans are quite healthy, they do not need special care and they will become full members of the family.
It will be more correct to say - Dwarf Lamkin or Dwarf Rex. Perhaps, this breed will be one of the rarest. It happened from Munchkin and another rather small cat Selkirk Rex. Thanks to this mixture, a miniature cat-lamb with a cozy curly hair turned out. Lamkin has not yet received official registration, and so far it has been recognized as an experimental breed.
The number of lemkins is still small. They breed it only in nurseries of the USA and New Zealand. Although this fact may well be disputed - it can not be so long for such a beautiful inhabitant of the animal world to be on the same continent in our information age, so do not be surprised if you happen to meet it with cat lovers in Russia.
When deciding to buy, pay attention to the characteristics of the breed, distinguishing it from other dwarfish breeds. They are inherent: a wedge-shaped head, large pointed ears, curly long hair, which requires special careful care. Color standards are not yet available, but more often Lemkin has a light torso and darker paws, tail and ears.
Skukum
This breed looks like a short-legged wavy coat of charm. Cats (cats) weigh from 1,200 kg and up to 2,200 (3,200) kg, which is two times less than the usual adult. It is characterized by a distinctive feature - curling wool with a variety of colors and patterns.
Because of his curly hair, dork looks disheveled, strongly resembling "chemistry" on short hair. Male is distinguished by the great slope of the wave. Another of their distinguishing features: the front paws are noticeably shorter than the hind legs.
Skukum It is a newly emerging breed, so it is considered experimental. It was withdrawn in the 90's. the last century in the United States. The ancestors of boredom were: the dwarf munchkin and curly laperm. Since this breed of small cats has been specially bred, it can not be crossed with other breeds in order to avoid deformation of the limbs.
Caring for the fur of a dwarf cat of the boredom breed is not complicated at all. The wool of her is pretty tough and it means she will just comb it. Vets recommend combing them 2 times a week. In general, dullness suits those who love gentle, curious and playful cats.
A cat that causes laughter with its gait, reminiscent of suede, which is often mistaken for a monkey. And it's not a joke! - a breed with a unique combination of short legs and hairless skin. Usually each breed has one rare gene, but the bambino surpassed all! He has as many as two unique genes (hairless and short paws). Their skin is wrinkled and flabby, the thinnest and softest of all domestic animals.
Bambino appeared after crossing a bald sphinx with short-legged munchkin. They received their name in honor of the Italian "bambino" - a child. They are mischievous, active and inquisitive. Do not look, that it is a small cat, it runs, jumps and climbs also noisily, as well as its peers of the normal size.
But let's turn to a more detailed description of the breed, so as to accidentally confuse it with Minskin. In the bambino: a part of the paws, up to the upper knee, are short; high on the head a pair of prominent ears forward with brushes, almost like a lynx; the skin is wrinkled and can be completely bald or with a light fuzz. Care for him is the same as for sphinxes - minimal, which includes weekly bathing, ear cleaning, clipping and dressing in cool weather.
A short, sweet, handsome, cute fluffy ball - such epithets are awarded to the owners of their dwarf Napoleons, who received this name as a joke over the stunted and fearful cats of Bonaparte Napoleon.
The history of the breed is very small - a little more than a dozen years. It was due to the crossing of the Munchkins and long-haired Persians. Therefore, the care for these cats is almost the same as for Persians (combing twice a week, wiping eyes, peeling ears, cutting claws).
Signs Napoleon (except for growth):
- full round muzzle with large round eyes, which are widely planted;
- a straight, wide nose that does not flatten like a Persian;
- plush coat (found both short and long) of a variety of colors.
So, napoleon - A playful cat that almost does not get sick (polycystic kidney disease), has moderate care requirements, while living in a family this small conqueror will surely win your heart.
Skif-tai-dong or Skif-to-bean
Another breed of small cats. The size of an adult animal is about the same as that of a 5-6 month old normal kitten. They are distinguished by a strong muscular body. The head of the Scythian is small, having a wedge-shaped shape, with highly set ears.
But the main feature of these cats-kittens is a tail consisting of only a few vertebrae and reaching a length of 3-7 cm. The color is similar to Siamese and Bobtail, although it is also tortoiseshell, striped, spotted and of various colors.
Like all small cats Skif-to-bean (American name Skif-tai-don) are characterized by increased activity, playfulness, sociability. They love their masters and are very bored with them, especially with a long separation. They just love to wear various small objects in their teeth and then fold them into their "funeral".
Do not be afraid, if suddenly you find something warm in the pocket of your dressing gown - it's Scythian-tai-don, a lover of secluded places is resting there sweetly. And yet, these mini-cats do not tag their territory!
Skif-tai-don (Scythian-to-bean) is probably the only breed of dwarf cats that was bred in Russia and received world recognition, but today it is subject to extinction.
Agree, the choice of breeds of small cats is simply huge, and here not all are described. The fact is that the work to develop new and anchor experimental dwarf breeds of cats is constantly going on, so we have many more discoveries in this small cat world!
Many owners of cats, with affection watching a little playful pet, dream that their pet has never grown up and for the rest of his life remained the same mischievous mischievous kitten. And thanks to the efforts of breeders this dream became quite real, because they managed to withdraw miniature breeds of cats, which even being adults, look like charming little kittens.
