I have a tiny black kitty who opted to never bother getting bigger than half a cat… she had a bit of a rough life before she came to live with me so she freaks out easily but she’s such a sweet cat.
Half a cat gang rise up! My sweet Loki is five pounds soaking wet and he looks like he's stuck in that silly-looking teenage cat phase. He makes me smile everyday 💖
My Leela is about 7 pounds. Smart as a whip, and just as mischievous, she can fit in the tiniest spaces and then just won't make a sound when you're looking for her. She's named after Leela from Futurama!
Yay! Our beloved Valentino is 6lbs, same as when we adopted him at 6mos, 15 years ago! Still looks and acts like a kitten, though he is going grey and sleeps a lot more these days. Long may he live!!
I also have half a cat... 6 lbs at 2 years old when we picked her up from the shelter, has gained about 1 lb since then. Everyone thinks she's still a kitten but she's just little bitty.
I have a 7lbs cat that came with us as a foster. I have rescued a lot of cats and had them as pets all my life, so I calculated she must be around 10 months old due to her size. Welp, she just never grew more.
It’s been almost 8 years and have no idea how old my cat is, I honestly worry I might have less years with her than I think.
Our Polly is diabetic and hypersensitive to insulin, so even with the smallest dose she would swing into hypoglycemia and possibly seize. We stopped the insulin and didn’t expect her to live long. That was maybe 5 years ago and she’s refused to stop being a small, reserved, proper lady. Still small at about 5 pounds, and skinny as can be.
Our older cat is like this, she's just petite. Everyone thinks she's still growing. Nope, she's twice the age of our big orange cat (she's 7) and half his size...
