Meet Manchester, another extremely cute cat to your list of favourite internet animals.

Manchester is a mixture of a Scottish Straight and a Munchkin, a breed known for their short little legs – and he lives up to that mix with legs that are just four inches long.

The black and white feline doesn’t let what he lacks in height hold him back.

Living with his owner Alexander Ushakov, 36, in Moscow, Russia, Manchester has become an online star, with more than 57,000 followers.

Owner Alexander said: ‘Manchester was born on September 15, 2018 and I bought him at the age of four months.

‘I decided to call him Manchester in honour of the Manchester United football team as I have been a fan of them since 1998.

‘I decided to create an Instagram account for him because I thought he was cute enough to please other people. As it turned out, he has quite a lot of fans!’

‘I think the main reason he has been so popular is because of his cute appearance and adorable posts.

‘So many of his followers message me with support and love and regularly share his snaps with their friends.

‘That’s what motivates me to continue sharing his photos and videos with followers.’

The two-year-old cat is also having a great time offline, spending his days snoozing, playing, and being fussed over by his doting owner.

‘Manchester is very playful and vociferous,’ Alexander added. ‘He is always meowing, loves playing mad games, and is always running around the house.’

‘He always wants to be played with and we love him very much.’
