History
The standard of Napoleon is filed with TICA, among races Liliputiens. There are still few representatives of the breed in the United States, Europe, Australia and South Africa.
Icebreaker, below, is a perfect example of standard quality Napoleon.
He was raised by Joe Smith and now lives in Minipurrl Cattery, USA.


An important point, the founder of the race "Napoleon," Joe Smith, has categorically stated that they are Persians pasnissus type extreme not to introduce problems with runny eyes and respiratory problems. The Napoleon should have a "sweet baby doll face."




 
Genetics


The Napoleon is a breed of its own. The distinctive short legs (as in certain breeds of dogs with short legs) is based on a spontaneous mutation. The head and body very firm from the Persian but the type of head is that of a Persian moderately typed. Today, the Napoleons are mostly heterozygous, and therefore he was born in the same range of Napoleons and Munchkins, kittens with long legs and others with short legs. They are well différienciés as "non-standard" and "standards"
.

Temperament
The Napoleon has a personality very sweet and affectionate. He has the calm temperament of Persian. Despite his short legs, he is sociable, confident and peaceful. He gets along well with his comrades to long legs. The Napoleon can act like any cat and pounce as ferrets. It can climb trees, cat trees, and curtains as well as other cats. The Napoleon can jump on beds and chairs as well as kitchen furniture. Our cat tree is 1.80 m, and the dispute over who shall be that the king's place: one that is at the top!


Grooming


The Napoleon should be brushed and combed regularly because he has an undercoat similar to Persian. Phase crittique is mainly the change of winter-spring season with a significant loss of hair: beware wads of hair and knots! A small daily brushing and presto! round is played in three minutes. Beware of tail hair, they grow slowly. A little talc on the recalcitrant nodes can help. It grabs the node, and it separates a little tangled hair with the fingers, pulling gently on both sides on other so
remove a few hairs and usually gently using a comb, the node goes away.




In short, you will understand ...
The napoleon is a true love kitten!
Adopt emergency!
