Domestic cats were not bred by people to be small. They are descendants of naturally small wildcats. Modern day cats are close relatives to a few different types of small wildcats. For instance, the African wildcat, which is generally considered to be the main ancestor of the domestic cat, are 9-14 pounds as adults and 21-26 inches long (this includes the head, but not the tail).
