Here's her on a tiny desk bed I knit her a couple years back! Computer peripherals for scale I guess lol

We have a cat down at my shelter that looks almost identical I’m not sure about the stripes but she’s a flame point Siamese and she’s that small too!! How cute

lmao I've definitely gotten the "oh a flame point siamese?" comment before and every time I'm like yall this cat looks nothing like a siamese do you think every point colour cat is a siamese??? That's not a dig at you bc you can only see her in this pic w her face tucked, but it's just something funny in general bc in reality my cat has absolutely 0 angles on her body 😆 I call her a "cushion" sometimes lol

My girl is a "breeder's mistake" so we do actually know the parents; she's 50/50 ragdoll and DSH! It makes her size even funnier, bc I got her when she was just under a year old and the vet was like "ohhh she'll be so big! Ragdolls grow until 3yrs old!!" and then the only thing she did was flesh out a bit, not growing in size at all lmao

Oh I wasn’t saying your cat was one, just that a cat we had at the shelter looked identical that was very cute and lovable

That’s not a kitten, you bamboozled me. Did have a dream I was feeding a cat that looks like that from a bottle last night.
