The Napoleon Cat

The Napoleon Cat is a new cat breed that
has extremely short legs and possesses a round pleasing face
with large round eyes. It is a new hybrid breed produced
from a cross of the Munchkin with the Persian breed resulting in a short-legged cat with
the old-fashioned Persian baby doll-face and body type.
The Napoleon Cat is a true hybrid meaning that they
are a good mix of both of their parent groups; i.e. the Persian Breed Group and the Munchkin Breed Group. The Napoleon cats DO: *
have the round faces, cobbier bodies, and round eyes of the Persian. *have the short
legs, smaller bodies, and any/all colors of the Munchkins. BUT...The Napoleon cats DON'T: *have the
snub noses, protruding brow ridges, and excessive coats of the Persian. *have
the domestic looking face, long noses, larger ears, and long bodies of the Munchkins.
The Napoleons comes in two versions - the unique "short-legged" version that the breed is known for
BUT ALSO a regular-legged version that we refer to as "longlegs" or "non-standards." Both versions have
"THE LOOK" - that round baby doll face with the sweet expression. Usually both versions are produced in each litter.
Both are considered full-fledged Napoleons though we classify them in their own category for show or breed purposes. Many
people flock to these "regular-legged" Napoleons because they remind them of that old-fashioned Persian look that
they knew when they were young. The modern-day Persian cat has evolved into a drastically different looking cat with a pekinese
type face. The Napoleons treasure this sweet look. For your complete guide to "All Things Napoleons" learn about this new cat breed that has it all - Those
adorable short little legs (and some not) - that ever-so-popular round baby doll face and endearing eyes - and their affectionate
and entertaining personality. Navigate through pages of information, picture gallery, history, and resources to learn
about this adorable new breed of cat.
