Napoleon Breed Group Standard, 05/01/2012
Texture (NPL): Soft, slight undercoat gives the coat body but coat still falls smoothly. Not cottony. Possible curls on underbody.
CONDITION AND BALANCE: Good muscle tone; well-muscled, but not fat. Legs disproportionally short but no more than 2/3 shorter than the body length to avoid overly short legs.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The Napoleon is a hybrid of the Persian Breed Group and the Munchkin breed group.
The desired result is a cat that resembles the Persian of earlier eras with the shortened legs of the Munchkin. The ideal Napoleon is an active cat with a playful attitude, medium sized and strong with noticeable boning and musculature,
especially on the short hair group. The cat should have a very open and round face with a sweet expression and large eyes
that do not tear. The coat should be nonmatting

DISQUALIFY (DQ): Nose break, severe malocclusion, non-standard leg length, severe tail fault.
