Minuets Cats are a cross between the Munchkin and Persian cat breeds.
A standard Minuet cat will have short legs and will often but not always have long hair. Their faces tend to be flatter than a typical cat and they usually keep their cute chubby look even when they are fully grown due to the big boned structure of the Persian Breed.
When all put together these characteristics create a
short, round, kitty, with a sweet, wide eyed expression on their face.
One sub category of the Persian breed is the Exotic Shorthair,
which also can be used to breed Minuets.
Minuet kittens with an Exotic Shorthair parent can have short hair,
in combination with the flatter face and the cobby body of a Persian.
Short haired Minuets are also born from the pairing of
a short haired Munchkin with any of the Persian subcategories.

Minuet Cats were once known as Napoleon Cats
Several years ago the International Cat Association,
changed the breed's official name from Napoleon to Minuet.
To simplify things breeders will many times advertise them as Munchkins
because they do have the Munchkin short legged gene,
and more people are familiar with the Munchkin breed than the Minuet. This is why you can find Minuet kittens sometimes listed as Munchkins. But a Minuet is different than a Munchkin,
because a Minuet reveals a strong Persian influence.
