Pixel – the cat about to enter the record books as the world's shortest feline. Standing at just five inches from shoulder to paw this compact cat could break the previous record held by her mother Fizz Girl in 2012, who stood at six inches.

Despite it not being officially measured by Guinness World Records, Pixel's owner Tiffani Kjeldergaard is confident she may be the shortest cat to have ever lived.

Speaking from her ranch in Potrero, California, Ms Kjeldergaard said her family of Munchkin cats have big personalities.
