Meet Mr Peebles - The World's Smallest Cat

THE WORLD'S SMALLEST CAT



Meet the world's fully-grown smallest cat - Mr Peebles.

He weighs in at just 3lbs, around the weight of an average bag of sugar.


The two-year-old has had his record verfied Guinness World Records.

His extremely slight stature was first noticed at a veterinary clinic in Pekin, Illinois, USA.

Dr Donna Sassman said: "I was at a house doing vaccines on a dog and saw Mr Peebles.

"He was very cute and I asked the owner if I could have him. She said, 'Yes, if you can catch him."

The cat has a genetic defect and is expected to hold his title for some time as he is already past the age at which he should have reached full size.

But he still eats four times a day.

Co-owner Robin Sbendesen said: "He curls up in my arms and sleeps next to my neck when it's cold.

"And one of his best habits, he'll lick me on the chin at night to give me a kiss."
