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.
For your complete
guide to "All Things Napoleons" learn about this new cat breed that has it all - Those adorable short little legs
- 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.
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.
Thank you for your interest in the Napoleon Cat. We are
a group of committed Napoleon Cat breeders and fanciers. Our goal is to secure a place in the cat fancy for the Napoleon
Cat as a healthy, viable and recognized breed. We are currently petitioning with The International Cat Association
(TICA) to advance to the category of Preliminary New Breed. Our ultimate goal will be to achieve Championship status for the
Napoleon Cat so that we may compete in cat shows and title our cats as well. This is a long journey, but
one which we will strive for via the route set forth by TICA.
