From the Persian group (including Persians, Exotic Shorthairs and Himalayans) the Minuet has inherited its short snout, round face, dense coat and substantial boning. They are able to run, jump, and play easily. The short legs do not hinder the cat's agility. The Napoleon inherited its distinctively short legs from the Munchkin, which are caused by a naturally occurring genetic mutation. The breed is still not recognized by many associations, including Cat Fanciers' Association, American Cat Fanciers Association, or Fédération Internationale Féline. In January 2015, TICA's board of directors voted to change the name of the mix to the Minuet. The original Napoleon standard was written with this in mind. He chose the Persian breed group as an outcross to the Munchkin for two reasons: beauty and boning. 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 was a fan of the Munchkin, but felt that the unavoidable long-legged versions were indistinguishable from similar mixed cats, commonly seen in animal shelters. He was inspired by the Wall Street Journal's front-page feature of the Munchkin on June 12, 1995. Smith, a Basset Hound breeder and American Kennel Club (AKC) judge.
