The vet classified him as a Minuet

Huh... WTF is a Minuet?

The Minuet (also known as the Napoleon) is a hybrid mix of Persian and Munchkin cat breeds.

Oh WTF???!!!

So it's a cross between two breeds that, ethically, I really don't think should even exist. I'd have to dig a bit, but I'd be shocked if there's not breeders specifically breeding both of those for blue eyes, so it sadly almost makes more sense now.

Yeah, not great. Luckily it looks like the cross turns out to have a normal muzzle at least, and I think most munchkins do okay. Pure persians and Scottish folds are the real crime in my opinion, poor Scottish folds, horrible joint problems just because humans must have slightly bent ears :(
