My Persian and Himalayan Cats
Why am I showing Persians and Himalayan cat, and not just Napoleon cats? There are so few Napoleons at the moment, that they (the cat assocation) allows for outcrossing to be done to increase the number of cats. The breed was initially developed by breeding a Munchkin to a Persian or Himalayan or Exotic...and that is how I am achieving them. As the breed advances, it is suggested to breed back to more Persians/Himis/Exotics to achieve better type on the body/face. Now, let me show you my Persian and Himalayan girls and my Persian males that I am now using - and breeding them back to my Munchkins.
Havannah is a unique Himalayan. She is a chocolate point bicolor. She has great blue eyes and her chocolate points striking. She too carries lilac. She is built nicely. She is a baby doll faced Persian - not an extreme or show quality but produces very healthy kittens.
Camelot is a cream bicolor Persian male. He is a baby doll faced male but who is out of a champion so he can produced better than he is. I wanted a healthy faced male - no runny eyes, no snorting, no louzy bites, and no breathing dilemmas. He also carries chocolate and dilute. I wanted to produce some of my unique colors in these Napoleons too. He is an even dispositioned boy who is gentle and loving with his girls. He is the father to Molly, the calico smoke Napoleon pictured at the top. In fact, Camelot does a stunning job producing a slew of gorgeous calicos - in various shades and colors. Check the homepage for the many various pictures of calico kittens - in fact, most of these earlier Napoleon kittens are indeed Camelot offspring.

My Napoleon Cats
Buddy,.the longhaired "longlegged" chocolate lynx point male to the immediate left, is an example of an adult longlegged Napoleon....gorgeous coat, adorable sweet expressioned face, and legs that make him look like a pet quality Himalayan.
Presently, I just have kept one of my Napoleon kittens for my future Napoleon breeding program. So far I have been producing Napoleons by crossing the Munchkin back to a Persian - both of which I have. I have kept Molly, a gorgeous calico smoke longhaired female - as you can see by the pictures, she is exquisitely marked and I am anxious to see how she produces as I plan to take her back to a different Persian male to produce a second generation of Napoleons.
Zorro is a Napoleon silver/white longhaired standard male. He is out of Camelot - my Cream and White Persian male...and Maggie - my silver/white longhaired standard female Munchkin. He is a great example of a Napoleon - very nice round head, large eyes, and short ears. He has a slightly stockier body than a Munchkin - which the standard calls for - and that definite Persiany look in the face. He is here temporarily - either to use as stud or to sell to the "select" breeder home. His color and quality will make him a huge asset for a Napoleon breeding program.
Shirlock is a chocolate bicolor Persian male. Yes...these are his naked pictures. He is a new stud male and indeed he seems to have only one thing on his mind - and grooming wasn't it! This is his Lion Cut - and as embarassed as he may look, he actually enjoys the trim down. His coat is extremely full and though admittedly, that is a plus in the Persian breed....I am thankful that when the Persians are crossed with the Napoleons or Munchkins...that the coats on the resulting kittens tend to be very full but more of a silky long instead of that cottony long - so grooming is MUCH EASIER. But, as you can see with Shirlock, he is a gorgeous chocolate color and his bicolor markings are superb - just like weaering a tuxedo. I am very anxious to see what he will add to my breeding program.....hopefully kittens will be arriving in early spring.
