As long as she isn’t skinny, she’s likely just a petite kitty.

Cats are like humans in that they come in all different shapes and sizes.

If you are worried about your cats health you can always take him or her to the vet. You probably just have a cat that was born small so I wouldin’t freak out about it. As for dwarf breeds, I have never heard of any, but I have heard of a 2 pound cat that as an adult is the size of a shoe and is perfectly healthy.

she may be the runt of the litter but if she is healthy ever thing should be alright the runt of my cats litter i thought was going to die but she is happy playful and healthy (she is still the smalliest of the cats but she is the roughest) if she is not skinnie she should be fine , if she is skinnie try feeding her food that will make her bones stronger and gain some weight :)
