Overview

British Shorthair

The British Shorthair is the quintessential companion cat, combining a sturdy, plush build with a calm, dignified temperament. Their round faces, dense coats, and copper eyes give them the appearance of living teddy bears. Known for their quiet loyalty and undemanding nature, they are equally suited to bustling family homes and quiet single-person apartments.

Minuet

The Minuet, formerly known as the Napoleon, is a delightful breed that marries the Persian's lush coat and sweet expression with the Munchkin's endearing short legs. Officially renamed by TICA in 2015, the Minuet is a breed that lives up to its musical name — graceful, charming, and perfectly composed. They are gentle, playful companions suited to families and beginners alike.
