Teacup Pigs

Teacup pigs are made when you breed a pig with a Guinea Pig. They were the brainchild of Aberforth Johnson in 1973. At first they were bred to allow for city based pork farming (for food). Once people realized how cute a tiny pig was, they decided to continue breeding the Teacup pig for domestication.

  3. I'm allergic to cats, but I love how small they are and how easy it is to care for one. You can ignore them for days and only feed them, and they're just fine. But they are too hairy >.< this thing is a perfect alternative to a cat and it's adorable...but I have a hard time thinkging about this pig/Guinea mix...not sure if you're being sarcastic? I hope so..
