Which cat breed is right for you?
Formerly known as the Napoleon, the Minuet was created in 1996 by crossing Munchkins with Persian-group breeds — Persians, Himalayans, and Exotic Shorthairs. The result is a low-slung, round-faced cat weighing 5–9 pounds with the sweet, doll-like expression of a Persian on a compact Munchkin frame. Minuets come in both longhair and shorthair varieties, in every color and pattern imaginable — from pointed to bicolor to solid.
Minuets inherit the gentle, easygoing nature of their Persian ancestry combined with the energetic curiosity of the Munchkin. They are affectionate without being demanding, happy to sit on your lap but equally content chasing a feather toy across the room. They do well in households with children and other cats, rarely displaying aggression or territorial behavior.

The Scottish Fold traces its origins to a single barn cat named Susie, found in Perthshire, Scotland, in 1961 — the first documented cat with the breed's signature forward-folding ears caused by a natural cartilage mutation. This medium-sized cat weighs 6–13 pounds, has a round head, large round eyes, and a stocky, well-padded body. Scottish Folds come in both longhair and shorthair varieties, in virtually every color and pattern including tabby, solid, bicolor, and calico.
Scottish Folds are sweet, easygoing cats known for their quirky habit of sitting in odd positions — including the "Buddha sit" with legs stretched out and paws resting on their belly. They are moderately active and enjoy interactive play without being hyperactive. Gentle with children and amiable with other pets, they adapt well to most living situations.
