My family has a that is 11 weeks old, the rest of the litter grew normally, but this little one hasnt grown much at all. She is still able to sit or curl up in your hand. I have heard about mini cats and that they are rare. could she have anything wrong with her.

IT's possible she has something wrong w/ her. But most likely she's a runt, or one of the RARE MINI Cats!!! You still should take her to the Vet to be sure!

Mini cats really aren't that common but they aren't that rare either. They are normal cats that just tend to not grow as large as most cats do. I highly doubt anything is wrong with your cat but a trip to the vet to ensure health could never hurt. (and is always a good idea when getting any new animal) If yours is the runt, it could take time to catch up. BTW, a good way to check is see the length of your cats legs. That would be an indicator of dwarfism in your cat. The only person who could tell you for sure (and check the thyroid for growth imbalances) is your vet.

My kitten is the size of a 6month old and she is 18 years old. You should still have the vet give the cat a check up, needs its vaccinations anyway.

she is probably just a runt and usually the runt of the litter is smaller and might have something wrong with it you should take it to a vet if it doesnt show any improvement and make sure it eats as much as the other kittens are..

I think there's nothing wrong with her. Mini cats are rare, but treat her normally and she'll be fine.

Why hasn't an eleven week old kitten been to the vet for basic kitten shots, worming, etc.???????? The vet would certainly be able to address your concerns about her lack of significant growth.

if she is eating right and acting like an ordinary kitten then she is probably ok. but if she isn't, then you might want to take her to the vet to get her checked out.
