Pets create an atmosphere of coziness and comfort. This is especially true for cats, because they are able to calm and relieve stress. People living in cities are far from always ready to shelter any animal, because immediately there are questions of a small living space, an allergy to wool, the need to spend time on grooming. However, today there are several types of elegant cats that do not need a lot of area and special attention from the owners.
The smallest cats in the world are picky and very
cute animals. One of the representatives of this species is the breed Singapore. The weight of the animal is approximately 2 kg. Cats are very friendly and insightful. They are able to adapt to the mood of the owner, and if the person is not in the mood, the cats will immediately feel it and will not ask for affection. Their appearance will not leave anyone indifferent. Big bright eyes and ears give this breed a special chic. The coat is smooth and pleasant to the touch due to the fact that cats do not have undercoat. Usually they come in two colors. Either sable brown with a light chin and chest, or
ivory with dark brown spots. By the way, Singapore is actually the smallest cats in the world.
The history of the origin of this breed is very unusual. The name itself makes it clear that the birthplace of animals is Singapore's expanses. The smallest cat in the world of this species was first discovered in 1971 by geophysicist Tommy Midow, who was then on the island. He was so admired by the unusual breed that, leaving, he took with him several cats. Arriving home, he and his wife began breeding these cute animals. The smallest cats in the world already in 1976 took part in the exhibition.
Another interesting breed is munchkin. Cats are slightly larger in size than Singapore, but their feature is short paws. They are sometimes called "dachshunds". Animals have a peaceful disposition, they are very sociable and affectionate, which is why they harmoniously enter any family. But it is worth remembering that, if necessary, the Manchkins will always be able to stand up for themselves.
The Balinese breed is also the smallest cats in the world. They, of course, are much larger than Singapore, but still miniature in size. This breed is distinguished by its extraordinary elegance, because, in fact, it belongs to Siamese cats, but with an elongated coat. Kotov began to breed in the 30s from Siamese kittens. Among other things, it should be noted that animals are incredibly sociable, so that they will never leave alone their master. Their voice is soft and pleasant.
In nature, there are other breeds of graceful cats, which, unfortunately, today are on the verge of extinction. But still, Singapore is the smallest cat, photos of such kids always cause delight. This breed is listed in the Guinness Book of Records. Do not forget that little cats are not always purebred, but they certainly will not leave anyone indifferent.
