Overview & Traits
The Minuet is a hybrid mix of Persian and Munchkin cat breeds. It is a relatively new and rare breed recognized from its short legs and rounded appearance. It's a cross between Munchkin cats (which have short legs due to a genetic mutation) and Persian or Exotic Shorthair cats. Minuets have a stocky build, a round face with large eyes, and a sweet, affectionate personality. They come in various coat colors and patterns, inheriting traits from both parent breeds, making them charming and distinctive pets.
