The Munchkin or Sausage Cat is a new breed of cat characterized by its very short legs, which are caused by a genetic mutation.

Much controversy erupted over the breed when it was recognized by The International Cat Association in 1995 with critics voicing concern over potential health and mobility issues.

The Persian cat (Persian: گربه ایرانی Gorbe Irâni) is a long-haired breed of cat characterized by its round face and short muzzle.

It is also known as the Persian Longhair in the English-speaking countries.

In the Middle East region they are widely known as Iranian cat and in Iran they are known as Shirazi cat.

The first documented ancestors of the Persian were imported into Italy from Iran (historically known as Persia) around 1620.

The exact history of the Persian cat does seem to be a bit of a mystery but many of these long-haired cats were seen in hieroglyphics.

The story has it that these long-haired cats were then imported into Europe as their popularity grew and breeding took place in Italy and France.

The Napoleon cat (also known as the Minuet) is a recent 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." 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 use to create the Napoleon.

This includes the combinations Minuet × Minuet, Minuet × Munchkin, and Minuet × a member of the Persian breeds (including Persians, Himalayans and Exotic Shorthairs.

Napoleons come in both long-haired and short-haired varieties.

A kitten is a juvenile cat.

After being born, kittens are totally dependent on their mother for survival and they do not normally open their eyes until after seven to ten days.

After about two weeks, kittens quickly develop and begin to explore the world outside the nest.

After a further three to four weeks, they begin to eat solid food and grow adult teeth.

Domestic kittens are highly social animals and usually enjoy human companionship.

A crossbreed is an organism with purebred parents of two different breeds, varieties, or populations.

Crossbreeding, sometimes called "designer crossbreeding", is the process of breeding such an organism, often with the intention to create offspring that share the traits of both parent lineages, or producing an organism with hybrid vigor.

While crossbreeding is used to maintain health and viability of organisms, irresponsible crossbreeding can also produce organisms of inferior quality or dilute a purebred gene pool to the point of extinction of a given breed of organism.
