Explore the unique traits of the NIkolas Chartreux Cat, known for its muscular build and beautiful blue-grey coat.
The Chartreux is a rare breed of cat from France. It is recognised by a number of registries around the world. The Chartreux is large and muscular (called cobby) with relatively short, fine-boned limbs, and very fast reflexes. Additionally, they are known for their blue (silver-grey) water-resistant short hair double coats which are often slightly thick in texture (often showing “breaks” like a sheepskin). Their eyes are orange or copper-coloured. Chartreux cats are also known for their “smile”; due to the structure of their heads and their tapered muzzles, they often appear to be smiling. Chartreux are exceptional hunters and are highly prized by farmers.
