Chartreuse is a national French breed that developed naturally in France. In the sixteenth century, the Chartreuse cat was described as “a Syrian cat with a true fleece.” Already at that time, these cats were valued not only as excellent rat catchers, but also for their amazing fur. With its name, the Chartreuse cat is obliged, according to legend, to the Cartesian monks who brought these cats out of the Crusades, after which they were bred in one of the monasteries.
