A Minuet is not just a cat, it is a unique feline created by man. The adorable Munchkins crossed with the Persian breed groups to produce a more distinct look. A cat with the large round eyes, round head, a thicker more cobby body. The look of a Doll faced Persian with short legs. By crossing the two breeds together, they would acquire the cuteness of the Munchkins short legs and yet steer away from the extreme face of the modern-day Persian producing that old fashioned "sweet baby doll faces" of the old time Persians. A breed all of its own.
