A tiny feline in the US, standing at just five inches from shoulder to paw, is set to become the world's smallest cat.

Pixel, a 19-month-old munchkin cat, belongs to Tiffani Kjedergaard who lives in a ranch in Potrero, California.

Her owner has put Pixel forward to be measured by the Guinness World Records.

Pixel is believed to have beaten a previous record set in 2012 by her mother Fizz Girl who stood at six inches.

The breed has a rare gene make up, meaning they are born with short legs, according to 'metro.Co.Uk'.

Tiffani, who has a house full of munchkin cats says such small pets around the house does present a unique set of problems.
 

"You can't leave doors open, you can't close refrigerator doors too quickly because one of them may have snuck up at the bottom of the door and stuck their head in," she was quoted as saying by 'The Mirror'.

Tiffani is now waiting for verification from Guinness before Pixel can enter the record books.
