If we adopt a puppy it does not mean that it will become a Garfield style cat. There are indeed some breeds of cats that remain small. They are ideal for those who live in an apartment or are always on the go.
This at least as far as the dimensions are concerned. Let's see if the character also lends itself to conditions of this type or if they have different needs.
Cornish rex
The cornish rex is certainly among the cats that are suitable for children. His playful character can make us feel safe. It also has a very special aspect: the rough coat makes it truly unique.
Among the cat breeds that remain small, it is very similar to the Siamese (in miniature of course). He has a sociable and intelligent temperament. With those he considers family he has a dog-like attitude: faithful and protective.
American curl
There are specimens with very different sizes, but very often they look like gods felines always puppies. They have a size S (small) at any age. To make them really out of the ordinary, however, are the folded ears, hence the name, and for this they need a particular grooming.
They have a character awake and stubborn, but they are also very kind. They can be excellent playmates, even in the presence of children who are often attracted by their somewhat cartoon-like appearance.
Devon rex
They resemble cornish, even if they are easily distinguishable. However, they have in common the small size: they are among the cat breeds that remain small. They have a very slim and 'compressed' build, if you can say so.
The contrast with the huge ears that are found is a bit impressive. The coat is curly and soft, even the mustache is. The character of these cats is very energetic and bright. There seem to be no contraindications to adoption.
Munchkin
Among the most fascinating is the munchkin. It falls into this list thanks to decidedly short legs, the result of a genetic mutation. Its body is not particularly small, but it is still below average.
These characteristics make him pretty low, but that doesn't mean he's not agile, playful and very active. He runs and moves normally, he has no motor problems.
Singapura
Singapura generally are half of a normal cat, have a low and slender body; big eyes and ears, which become protagonists. They are so energetic that they are defined as real earthquakes.
They play a lot and they love to climb, often defying gravity and ignoring the obstacles of home furnishings. They have a genetic link with the Abyssinian, even if the geographical origins are different: one is American, the other Japanese
Other breeds and crosses
The breeds of cats that remain small are those just described, then there are hybrids, a category not to be underestimated because of potential single breeds. Some good examples are:
- The kinkalow, a cross between a munchkin and an American curl;
- The Napoleon, born of a munchkin and a Persian;
- The lambkin, a mix between a selkirk rex and a munchkin.
The least common multiple seems to be the munchkin cat, the one with shorter legs than the average but still agile. Regardless of their name, they are all truly sweet in appearance and surprising from a character point of view.
