Dogs can (and have) been bred over the years to be very small and "puppylike". If the same could be done with cats, would you want one?
Teenie Tiny Kitty Catty...awww.

Actually, there /are/ miniature cats. Even after they're fully grown, they still look like kittens. =P Sooo cute!

I'm getting a new kitty next week! He is going to be small. He will get big. I like cats that are the size they are. They are comforting, like holding a baby. If I want to hold a tiny furry creature, I will get out my hamster. Just not the same thing, cuddling with a mouse-size critter, though. And not much to pet and see stretched out as long as they can.

You know something similar has been done with cats. There is a breed of cat that has shorter legs about half the length of a normal domestic cats' legs. I can't remember what it is called but there was a segment on them a few years ago and some were saying it was cruel. But a cat that stayed kitten like forever, I bet that would be cute.

If they were as healthy as a normal cat, and hadn't resulted in a ton of defects. Some small dogs are prone to more diseases or conditions, and I wouldn't want a cat like that.
If it was just smaller though, and everything else was the same, then sure.

No. Why not just get a hamster or mouse? If a cat were very small it would become too vulnerable.

Who wouldn't?! :D
Although, I love a big kitties best. After all, cats were first domesticated to catch and kill mice. I'd like to keep a big, vicious, fat, cat around. ^^

Awww......
Nope. I like my cats, (and dogs) to be their normal size. I do have a special fondness for Hemmingway cats (polydactyls....extra toes), though. I have two.
