MINIATURE CATS
These cats are usually bred small through a selective breeding program so that all the litter will be small as opposed to a single kitten being small within an average sized litter of kittens (see below though).

Average sized cats typically weigh in the order of 5 to 12 lbs. Although there are some exotic cats that weigh a lot more (e.g. the Savannah). It is difficult to classify by exact weight what constitutes a cat that has been miniaturized or indeed a Teacup cat.
In practice due to the lack of precision in definition, there may be an overlap in size between a small "normal" cat, a "miniature" cat and a "teacup" cat.

Genuine miniature cats are still rare (see rare cat breeds). They are only available, it seems, in the USA. They have been bred through progressive downsizing since the '80s.
