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 Turkish Van is a rare, naturally occurring breed from the Lake Van region of eastern Turkey, renowned as the "swimming cat" for its unusual love of water. This is a large, muscular cat weighing 10–18 pounds with a semi-long, cashmere-like single coat that is water-resistant and dries remarkably fast. The classic Van pattern features a predominantly chalk-white body with colored markings limited to the head and tail — typically in red, cream, black, blue, or tortoiseshell — though solid white and fully colored Vans also exist.
Turkish Vans are energetic, independent, and famously fond of water — they may join you in the shower, play in the toilet, or splash in their water bowl. Intelligent and athletic, they love to climb, jump, and play vigorously. They bond closely with their family but can be selective about being held — they prefer to be near you rather than in your lap.
