The world's smallest cat is known as the rusty-spotted cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus), which is native to Sri Lanka and India. It is a wild cat species and is about the size of a domestic kitten, with an average weight of only 2-3 pounds (around 1 kg).

Despite their small size, rusty-spotted cats are fierce predators, known for their agility and hunting abilities. They are also very elusive, and little is known about their behavior in the wild. Due to habitat loss and hunting, rusty-spotted cats are considered a vulnerable species, and conservation efforts are underway to protect them.

It's worth noting that there are other small domestic cat breeds, such as the Singapura and Munchkin, which are sometimes mistakenly referred to as the world's smallest cats. However, the rusty-spotted cat is the smallest wild cat species in the world.
