The term "teacup" is a marketing tool referring to really small, and often unhealthy cats and kittens. These are often sold at much higher prices than "regular" kittens. They are the result of unethical breeders breeding from unhealthy, deformed and undersized cats to produce what they call teacup cats. They are bred with no concerns to their health or temperament. No Cat Breed Association recognises "teacup" cats.

There are such a thing as Dwarf cats, which is due to a genetic mutation. The Munchkin breed was created by a naturally occurring genetic mutation that results in cats with abnormally short legs. These are not the same as teacup cats.
