Chartre cat (definite introduction)
Chartreuse is native to France, and it is said that it was originated from French Chartreux. The type cultivated by the monks of our sect. In France, although cats that can catch mice are very popular with farmers, in order to maintain the shiny coat of Chartreuse cats, Chartreuse cats were not bred as mouse-hunting cats. Instead, they were often bred by people until It was arranged in 1970 that its lineage spread to the United States.
Some CHARTREUX cats were introduced to France during the Crusades. In the 1920s, French breeders hybridized CHARTREUX cats with Persian cats (certain introduction), but the formal breeding plan was not introduced until 1926. In 1926, the two sisters named LEGER began to breed with the contrasting blue cats that were widely circulated in BELLE-ILE-SUR-MER, a place in MORBIHAN, France. After defining their physical characteristics, Dr. JUMAUD (1930) named these cats FELIS CATTUS CARTUSINORUM. The breed was publicly demonstrated at the Cat Club in Paris in 1931. The first species standards were promulgated in 1939. In the 1960s and 1970s, hybridization of this breed with the blue British Shorthair occurred so frequently that in 1970 FIFe merged the two breeds.
Could it be that the CHARTREUX cat breed was destined to disappear? This is not the case after all. SIMONNET, president of the CHARTREUX Cat Club, provided FIFe with strong evidence to prove the authority of this breed, and then urged FIFe to make a decisive decision to separate the two breeds and prevent them from continuing to interbreed. The first Chartreux cat was introduced to the United States in 1970. Both CFA and TICA recognize this category. In ancient times, its short woolly coat was sold as Minase fur! Chartreux cats have existed in France for centuries.
In the 16th century, JOACHIMDU BELLAY mourned for his little gray cat BELAUD; in the 18th century, BUFFON described the CHARTREUX cat as a French cat in the book Natural History; and LINNE, in order to compare it with The Angora cat distinguished itself and called it FELIS CATTUS CAERULEUX, or the blue cat.
