Pets create an atmosphere of coziness and comfort. This is especially true for cats, because they are able to calm and relieve stress. People living in cities are far from always ready to shelter any animal, because immediately there are questions of a small living space, allergies to wool, the need to spend time on care. However, today there are several types of graceful cats that do not need a lot of space and special attention from the owners.
The smallest cats in the world are picky and very cute animals. One of the representatives of this species is the Singapura breed. The weight of the animal is approximately 2 kg. Cats are very friendly and insightful. They are able to adapt to the mood of the owner, and if a person is not in a good mood, the cats will immediately feel it and will not ask for affection. Their appearance will not leave anyone indifferent. Large bright eyes and ears give this breed a special glamor. Woolsmooth and pleasant to the touch due to the fact that cats have no undercoat. They usually come in two colors. Either sable brown with a light chin and chest, or ivory with dark brown spots. By the way, the Singapura is actually the smallest cat in the world.
The history of the origin of this breed is very unusual. The name itself makes it clear that the Singaporean expanses are the birthplace of animals. The smallest cat in the world of this species was first discovered in 1971 by geophysicist Tommy Meadow, who at that time was on the island. He was so delighted with the unusual breed that, when leaving, he took several cats with him. Arriving home, he and his wife started breeding these cute animals. The smallest cats in the world already took part in the exhibition in 1976.
Another interesting breed is the Munchkin. Cats are slightly larger than Singapura cats, but their feature is short legs. They are sometimes also called "dachshunds". Animals have a peaceful disposition, they are very sociable and affectionate, which is why they will harmoniously fit into any family. But it is worth remembering that, if necessary, the Munchkins will always be able to stand up for themselves.
The Balinese breed is also the smallest cat in the world. They, of course, are much larger than Singapore, but still miniature in size. This breed is distinguished by extraordinary elegance, because, in fact, it belongs to Siamese cats, but with elongated hair. Cats began to be bred in the 30s from Siamese kittens. Among other things, it should be noted that the animals are incredibly sociable, so they will never leave their owner alone. Their voice is soft and pleasant.
In nature, there are other breeds of graceful cats, which, unfortunately, today are on the verge of extinction. But still, Singapore is the smallest cat, photos of such babies always cause delight. This breed is listed in the Guinness Book of Records. You should also not forget that small cats are not always thoroughbred, but they definitely will not leave anyone indifferent.

Where do cats go after death: do cats have a soul, do animals go to heaven, opinions of priests and owners of cats
Throughout a person's life, a very important question is of concern - is there life after death and where does our immortal soul end up after the end of earthly existence? And what is the soul? Is it given only to people, or do our beloved pets also have this gift? From the point of view of an atheist, the soul is the personality of a person, his consciousness, experience, emotions. For believers, this is a thin thread that connects earthly life and eternity. But is it inherent in animals?
