-The '''Chartreux''' is an internationally-recognized [[cat breed|breed]] of domestic [[cat]]. Chartreux cats are from [[France]], reportedly originally bred by [[Carthusian]] Catholic monks at their monastery in [[Grenoble]] for the purposes of catching [[mouse|mice]] to preserve food storages from loss and damage. Legend has it the Chartreux's ancestors were feral mountain cats from what is now [[Syria]], brought back to France by returning [[Crusade]]rs in the 13th century, many of whom entered the Carthusian monastic order. The first documented mention of the breed was by the French naturalist [[Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon|Buffon]] in the 17th century. The first Chartreux were brought to the [[USA]] in 1971.

-Physically, the Chartreux is large and muscular with short fine boned limbs, big paws and very fast reflexes. They are known for their blue (grey) double-thickness fur coats and gold- or copper-colored eyes. Chartreux cats are also known for their "smile"; due to the structure of their heads and long, tapered muzzle, they often appear to be smiling.

-Chartreux cats tend to be quiet, rarely making noises such as mewing or crying and some are mute. They are quite observant and intelligent, with some Chartreux learning to operate radio on/off buttons and to open screen door latches. Chartreux cats are playful cats well into their adult years; some can be taught to fetch small objects in the same manner as a dog. Chartreux are good with children and other animals, are non-aggressive and affectionate, good travelers and are generally very healthy.  Chartreux tend to bond with one person in their household, preferring to be in their general vicinity, though are still loving and affectionate to the other members of the household.
