Minuets Cats are a cross between the Munchkin and Persian cat breeds.
A standard Minuet cat will have short legs and will often 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, furball, with a sweet, wide eyed expression.
One sub category of the Persian breed is the Exotic Shorthair,
which also can be used to breed Minuets.
Very often Minuet kittens with an Exotic Shorthair parent
will have short hair, in combination with the flatter face and
the cobby build of a Persian.

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 often will 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 breed.
This is why you can sometimes find Minuet kittens listed as
Munchkins, Napoleons, and/or Minuets.
But a Minuet is different from a Munchkin in that a
Minuet reveals a strong Persian influence.
