The Napoleon, also called the Minuet, is a relatively new breed developed in the 1990s by crossing Munchkins with Persians and Exotics. This combination created a cat with the signature short legs of the Munchkin and the round, doll-like features of Persians. The breed is still considered rare but is steadily gaining recognition.

Personality-wise, Napoleons are sweet-natured, playful, and affectionate. They blend the curious, energetic side of Munchkins with the gentle, loving temperament of Persians. They thrive on human interaction and make devoted companions, often enjoying both cuddling and playtime.
