Searching previously, I have never found an off-the-shelf mini-mini OTG cable on ebay or aliexpress.
I have micro-micro OTG both ends work.
I have micro-mini OTG both ends working (?) Unsure as I only used it one direction.
 
Trying to use an adapter on a micro-mini OTG to make it mini-mini OTG may cause detection problems.
 
There are cable builders on this forum that may make it for you as a custom mini-mini OTG.
Small/tricky/time-consuming to make - expect to pay for their build time and materials.
 
Should your title not be " Mini-USB to Mini-USB OTG cable, does it exist ?"
 
Google images is another faster way to search for specific cables vs text search.

How short is ultra short?

I have used this cable from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Meenova-Mobility-Cable-MicroUSB---MicroUSB/dp/B00ZYB44UW/
and it has worked for me perfectly.  it is a couple of inches, but it is a starting point...

  i was thinking more like 6cm lol


I just picked this one up off of ebay.... micro to mini...
You want to search for ' right angle micro usb otg '. I think the right-angle ones put less pressure on the port and easier to wrap to the back of phone etc.

I am also looking for a micro to micro USB OTG cable to connect my phone to my dac\amp, best I could find was a 10cm micro to micro on AliExpress:

Edit: Also found it on EBay:
