Rug Hugger Persian – The Eternal Kitten (Also known as Minuets)
Welcome to the enchanting world of Persian Rug Hugger kittens, lovingly known as The Eternal Kitten. Rug Huggers are a rare and carefully developed designer hybrid that blends the luxurious beauty of the Persian with the short, compact legs originally introduced through Munchkin ancestry. The result is a truly magical feline that retains a forever-kitten appearance while offering the affectionate temperament Persians are adored for.
Originating roughly three decades ago, Rug Hugger Persians have steadily grown in popularity as more people discover their irresistible charm. A common question we receive is the difference between traditional Munchkins and true Rug Hugger Persians. While Munchkins were part of the early foundation, Persians are what refined the breed, contributing rounder faces, expressive eyes, softer features, and the unmistakable sweetness that defines today’s Rug Hugger.
Working with 18th-generation Rug Huggers is exceptionally rare and represents over two decades of intentional, ethical development. This level of refinement is what gives our Rug Huggers their balanced structure, gentle demeanor, and signature eternal kitten persona.
Rug Hugger Persians mature into delightfully petite companions, typically standing around 4 inches at the shoulder. Their small stature lends itself to comical antics, endearing waddles, and a deep devotion to their people. Because of their size, a safe and mindful home environment is essential, which is why we may not approve placement in households with large or aggressive dog breeds.
These kittens are exceptionally affectionate and emotionally connected, and they do not thrive when left alone for long periods. For this reason, we strongly prefer Rug Huggers to go into homes with another cat companion, or we recommend adopting two kittens together so they always have a warm heart to lean against.
Rug Huggers are available in both long-haired Persian coats and short-haired Exotic styles, preserving the best qualities of both while maintaining their unique, compact charm.

Rug Huggers (Minuets) Disposition
These tiny treasures are unlike anything you have ever seen!
Rug Hugger Kittens have what we call “Velcro Personalities.” They literally stick to you!! LOL. They can not get enough cuddles! We say they are addicted to snuggling. LOL. Therefore, we labeled them “Velcro Kitties.” It’s not just people they love being near, they also crave attention from other pets in the home. They are equal opportunity lovers. LOL.
Rug Huggers are incredibly playful, super affectionate, and love being held. This also makes them our top-rated therapy pets.
Their angelic features are like no other cat in the world, so it’s no wonder they leave such a lasting impression on everyone who meets them. Whether you have an in-home party, take them to a family get-together, or on vacation with you, I guarantee they will be the center of attention!!
Everywhere they go, people will stop you and ask if they can take a closer look and snap a picture of them. They are truly furry, purry art!
Their tiny 2-3 inch legs set them apart from all other breeds! Top it off with those incredibly expressive doll faces, big round sparkling eyes, and chubby chipmunk cheeks, and they own your heart forever.
A fascinating fact about Rug Huggers: they stand up like little squirrels! It is known as “Prairie dogging”. It is the cutest thing you have ever seen! They have a different center of gravity and will stand up out of nowhere, like people. So sweet!
Rug Huggers like to wave and show off their tiny legs, entertaining “their hoomans” and all who care to watch their cute kitten antics!!
It’s so cute how Rug Huggers maintain their kitten-like personalities their entire lives, never really mentally growing much past an 8-12 week old kitten, so on many levels, they earn their “Eternal Kitten Title.”
