This is an extremely ancient French short-haired breed. It tends to be very laidback in temperament and, while not aggressive, is a good hunter. It was developed by 14th-century Carthusian monks and should not be confused with the more round-faced British Blue cat. Visually difficult to distinguish from its British look-alike, the Chartreux has a marginally lighter coat. Legend suggest that Crusaders returned from the Holy Land with these cats, and monks are said to have controiled access to the breed by releasing only neutered individuals.
