Smallest Domestic Cat Breed:
The Singapura is regarded as the smallest cat breed. Females weigh around 5-6lbs (2kg), while males weigh a little more at 6-8lbs (2-3kg).
However, there are now a group of cats that are called Dwarf cats. These are normal cats, but due to a dwarfism gene, they have very short legs. The most well-known short-legged cat breed is the Munchkin, but now there are several Drawf breeds due to crossing the Munchkin with other breeds of cat.
It should be noted that "teacup" and "miniature" cats are not recognized cat breeds, and are often results from mating undersized, and often unhealthy cats.
