"Forever kitten" has TikTok gushing over his adorably small size
Germany - A cat named Francis is fluffy, cute, and so tiny that TikTok users are convinced he's a kitten. But, as it turns out, the cat is well past his youth!
Francis and his feline friend Maggie have quite a following on their TikTok page, @francisandmaggie.
Though TikTok users adore both cats, they're absolutely smitten with the tiny tabby cat, Francis.
A TikTok of Francis waking up on the wrong side of bed boasts eight million views. This cat's cuteness makes users "want to cry" and or give him a "kiss on the nose."
TikTokers' constant questions about Francis's breed prompted his owner to share his story.
Per the subtitles of the now-viral clip, Francis isn't a kitten, despite his adorably small size.
He actually has a genetic condition, and he's thirteen years old!
This tiny cat has a genetic condition
The old but tiny TikTok star, Francis, is small because he has dwarfism. TikTokers think he's adorable, and many dubbed him a "forever kitten," while another called him a "bonsai cat."
When Francis was rescued from a construction site as a kitten, he was as big as his owner's fist. One day, the little kitty stopped growing and has been an adorable fur ball ever since.
Luckily, Francis's size and fluff has made this cute cat TikTok famous!
