INTRODUCTION
The Chartreux is an old natural breed which originated in France. An old Legend surrounds the origins of the Chartreux history and it is said to have been raised as a companion by the Carthusian monks. What is more likely is that because of the woolly character of their fur, Chartreux were given the same name as a well known Spanish wool of the early 18th century.

APPEARANCE
The Chartreux is a large, sturdy, muscular, statuesque cat with a husky, robust body structure neither cobby nor classic. Male Chartreux in particular achieve a hefty bone and substance with females structured on a smaller, finer scale. The breed is slow maturing with males reaching full size between 12-16 lbs or more in four to five years. . Female Chartreux take about three years to reach their full size of 7-10 lbs.

CHARACTERISTICS
Chartreux are attentive, gentle, and adaptable cats who enjoy being nearby their favourite people. They are extraordinarily dedicated to family life and are very dog-like in devotion and behaviour. They are tolerant and gentle with strangers, small children, and other animals. Highly intelligent, the Chartreux quickly learn its name and comes on call. These cats are also extremely agile for their size and being natural hunters love to play games. Owners of the breed enjoy the supportive, cheerful presence of the handsome, blue Chartreux.
