'He's A Tiny Grampa!': A Very Smol 13-Year-Old Senior Cat With Dwarfism Captures The Hearts Of Feline Enthusiasts On Twitter

Everyone loves itty bitty kitties. Everyone. We don't care how big of a cat hater you may be, no one cat withstand the cuteness of a tiny kitten. And we, as cat owners, know that this period in a cats life - the kitten period - is short. You will adopt a teeny weeny kitten, you will enjoy every single second of it, you will take a million pictures, and then suddenly, before you know it, you will blink, and your kitten will be a fully grown chonk.

Or will it? Because apparently, some kittens simply refuse to grow up. Some kittens are born with a condition called dwarfism, and that means that, for them, the kitten period never ends. These cats will forever be smol and pwecious. And today, you're about to meet - and fall in love with - one of them. Meet Francis, known as francisandmaggie on Instagram, the 13-year-old senior cat who still look like a kitten.

We did know that cats could have this condition, but we can't say we have ever seen a cat with dwarfism reach such a ripe senior age. We wish this teeny weeny thing many, many more happy and healthy years to come.
