Mr. Peebles, World’s Smallest Cat

[Are_grits_groceries]

In addition to incredibly small species, there are also the occasional tiny specimens of species that are generally much larger. Among them is Mr. Peebles, deemed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the smallest living cat. When this photo was taken Mr. Peebles was two years old, weighed just over two pounds, measured about 5 inches long and fit perfectly into a pint glass. Mr. Peebles has a genetic defect and must be fed at least four times a day to sustain his weight.

Cute! He could hide in a paper towel tube.

1. Awwww! Mr. Peebles is adorable.

Yesterday my daughter and I were discussing (after seeing her friend's teeny, tiny fully grown kitty) why breeders have not created a breed of cat that stays kitten-size forever. I am against cat breeding, and there are millions of kitties who need homes in shelters, but it seems like someone would have been working on a pint-size kitty since so many people love kittens.
