I would of still adopt a dwarf cat if one of them was available and needed a home. Especially if it's a tuxedo or black cat. Those two are my all time favorites. So glad Fig has such a wonderful family that loves her and cherishes her.

I also have a dwarf cat. I found her on a cold rainy night alongside the road, wet and unable to walk. I think her mom abandoned her. She was tiny so I put her in my pocket and she slept all night while I worked. On the way home I bought infant formula (people) I had to force feed her with an eyedropper for a couple weeks. Fast forward 5 years. She happy and healthy, about 1/3rd the size of a typical cat. She's feisty and doesn't take any crap from the normal cats. She's my special buddy, she prefers me over anyone, probably because my scent is comforting after spending a night in my pocket. Her name is baby because she's forever a little kitten.

I want to say the ability to be so caring and understanding and loving comes at the price for wuch horribleness and suffering. BUT that always feels wrong. Like I want to burn out the ability to be cruel for humans level of how wrong and unbalanced it is. We just have to fight to protect the ones that can't. Giving of ourselves to support the ones that are and helping shelter them from the wicked winds and grievous glares from the muck the worst of humanity thrives in.

It is easy to commit to constant altruistic acts when one only has to contend with first world problems. I do not deny that there are truly horrible people out there, but do not conflate them with those whom simply are not currently capable of taking on such tasks without a noteworthy hindrance to their own livelihoods.

@Jay W You appear to have misunderstood my point. If one does not have many issues in their life then it is easy to take on the issues of others. If one has many issues in their life then it is inadvisable to put one’s self further out there to fix or mitigate the problems of others. This may be misconstrued by the POV of one on the outside of the situation as the person in the second example being heartless when in fact they are not but simply cannot afford altruism. Looking out for one’s self first doesn't mean that somebody is selfish and at times may be the best course of action in a tough situation. There is a reason why flight attendants instruct passengers to put on their own oxygen mask first before attempting to help others around them do so.

She’s absolutely adorable! Fig is a very lucky girl to have such caring parents. She gets to have someone watching over her while letting her live her best life adventures.

This is why some cat shows won't accept breeds like Munchkins, because of people who *intentionally* breed cats to have these tiny legs that limit their mobility, which is cruel whether or not you find them cute. So happy that you gave this adorable little one a loving home!

True. They are cute, but it is clearly gimmick breeding; to put a title to it. And they are somewhat debilitated for it.

Fig must feel like Gulliver, when he travelled to the land of giants. Then again, if she is the only cat in the home, she would feel like any full-size cat as they are all much smaller than their humans. The RAMPS are a great idea! They allow Fig to go wherever she wants independently.

she’s beautiful

She is so vocal! And "cute" doesn't even start describing Fig! What a win-win situation for this precious kitty and her adoptive family!!!!

My close friend had a dwarf cat back in 90s. We saw it as very cute and it was pretty much an indoor cat and enjoyed her life thoroughly. We all used to love that cat. With your love it’ll be OK.❤

What a little doll. She’s so careful when she’s walking.

Fig is just a awesome cat! It doesn't matter that she is a dwarf she is a beautiful bundle of joy and energy!! What A Cutie!!😁😁😁😁!!

In her mind, she IS a normal kitty. I love how you've added aids around the house to accommodate her. She chose well when she decided to adopt you. You are her ... everything! Congratulations!

⁠​⁠@@MrGriff305 While I won’t deny, that humans have done these things to cats and other animals (some still do and I, too, condemn these actions), according to the video, she wasn’t bred or engineered to be that small. At least we can be sure about that, if she was born at the adoption center, since they haven’t seen a cat with dwarfism before. Which brings me to my next point: feline dwarfism is a rare genetic mutation (or more like multiple mutations), that cause a disproportionate body and other health concerns. While rare and cats having it needing special care, it is no different than humans who were born with an extra finger, a missing toe, themselves being born with dwarfism or other things like that. Sometimes big and/or small mutations happen, no matter how healthy or unhealthy the parents of a living being are. That doesn’t automatically mean said living being would be suffering or be unhappy. And that cat is clearly happy and while having a bit more difficulty than a completely healthy cat, she isn’t suffering. She is walking around, exploring her surroundings, jumping on things, she talks, she plays and is completely relaxed when petted. Her whole body language in the video screams comfortable, happy cat. So, while I wouldn’t be happy, if the owner was trying to breed her with other cats to keep these mutations (which she absolutely wouldn’t even if she wanted to, the cat is literally spayed), I am happy, that the owner adjusted to her cats needs and is taking so good care of her.

Fig is adorable, and it's nice to know she has a human family that loves her very much!💕👍

Fig is adorable and precious. I love it when Katie is petting her. You can hear Fig purring like a little motor. It’s so cute. Katie is very thoughtful to have set up stairs and ramps to help Fig navigate her surroundings. Fig is definitely loved and living a happy life. 😺❤️😺❤️😺🌈

She looks like a smaller version of my Bo. I have two cats that are much smaller than my other cats, but they're smaller because they were born into a feral colony and probably didn't eat very well in those critical first couple of months. However, these two 5 pound cats keep up quite well with the rest of our group, jumping and climbing everything. The bonus is it's like having two perpetual kittens, and who wouldn't want that? Fig is absolutely adorable ❤❤.

She is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS ❤!!! 🌻💜

Very adorable. I don't think or even would think that a cat like her wouldn't be an issue in raising her like a normal cat. What they did with the ramps and stuff was epic lol and I'm pretty sure she's going to have a great life. Thanks for sharing this with us and as always, have an awesome day 👍💯

Fig is such a sweet cutie and is absolutely adorable and bless your heart for adopting her and giving her a great life with you 😻❤️❤️! Cats protection is a brilliant charity in the UK that do great work for cats and kittens. I must confess, I have never heard of feline dwarfism before (although one of our cats, Chi Chi who has very sadly since passed away always had the face of a kitten and was the smallest of the litter/family of kittens we have) but Fig, bless her, clearly doesn't let that stop her from doing what she loves/wants to!! Animals are so resilient, it's amazing! I wish Fig and yourself a very long and happy life together!! 😻❤️❤️

The bond you form with a special needs animal is usually very strong which makes every moment precious. It very hard when you have to let them go...

She’s so precious and very lucky to have good kitty parents.

When we bring these little bodies into our homes they really bring so much extra love. I have found that when one of my furbabies has any health issues and/or conditions I do worry more but they seem to just accept it and not pay much mind. They never see themselves the same way ppl do. She is just soooo beautiful❤

Figg knows she is the queen of the house❤👑

Nothing wrong with her at all. She's perfect.

She IS a REAL cat!

I'm so glad you got her from Cat's Protection and that she's spayed. There are some vile people who'd try to breed from her as she's so cute, as in munchikins, folds and other torture breeds. She's so lovely, but you don't want to encourage irresponsible breeding. I got my two from the Cat's Protection too!

We had a rescue cat that was the size of a large kitten. Her name was Jack. She had a huge personality when she made our home hers. She had some kind of nerve issue that couldn't be fixed. Her back end behaved differently than the front. She was a cat in the most primal sense of the word. We had her for seven years. Bone cancer took her. She left a big hole in our hearts. Small doesn't mean a thing to a small cat. They fill large spaces with love and joy. Just like any pet, they will take the center of your bed and look like a larger animal.

You treat her with so much love and respect. You give her the best life. She will love you forever. You are great parents.❤️

I thought the whole breed of Munchkin cats had feline dwarfism. She is very cute. Glad you rescued and didn’t support bad breeding eg Munchkin breeding.

When I saw that opening shot, I immediately knew I'd hear a British voice. That back garden could not be more English. (and I do mean English) And as for Fig. Whatever ways she may be different, she is 100% cat. In everything, climbing everywhere, making you fall in love instantly. That meow! I hope she lives a good long time, with the care from these lovely people.
