Minuet (cat)
The Minuet cat〔http://www.tica.org/members/meetings/winter_2015.pdf〕 (also known as the Napoleon) is a new breed, categorized by The International Cat Association (TICA) as a ''domestic hybrid breed'', "a breed developed from a deliberate cross between two existing domestic breeds, incorporating characteristics of both parental breeds into the new breed." 〔TICA Registration Rules (TICA Registration Rules, page 4 )〕 The two breeds from which make this cat are the Munchkin and the Persian. According to TICA’s official standard for the Minuet, these breeds represent the only permissible outcrosses one may utilize to create the Minuet.〔TICA Minuet Standard (TICA Minuet Standard )〕 This includes the combinations Minuet × Minuet, Minuet× Munchkin, and Minuet× a member of the Persian breeds (including Persians, Himalayans and Exotic Shorthairs. Minuets come in both long-haired and short-haired varieties.
== Origin ==
The breed was created by Joseph B. Smith, a Basset Hound breeder and American Kennel Club (AKC) judge. He was inspired by the Wall Street Journal's front page feature of the Munchkin on June 12, 1995. He was a fan of the Munchkin, but felt that the unavoidable long-legged versions were indistinguishable from similar mixed breeds commonly seen in animal shelters. Smith decided that something had to be done to create a cat unique in both short and long legged versions, something that looked purebred. He chose the Persian breed group as an outcross to the Munchkin for two reasons: beauty and boning. The original Napoleon standard was written with this in mind.〔(TICA History of the Minuet )〕
In January 2015, TICA's board of directors voted to change the name of the breed to the Minuet.〔http://www.tica.org/members/meetings/winter_2015.pdf〕 The breed group is still recognized as the Napoleon by the Cat Fanciers Federation. It is not currently recognized by the Cat Fancier's Association, American Cat Fanciers Association, or Fédération Internationale Féline.
