Character
Chartreux is one of the most famous French cats. At various times it was also called “the smiling cat of France”, “the monastery cat”, “the cat with the Parisian lid” and even “potatoes on toothpicks.” Chartreux received the last comic nickname for the structure of the body: a dense muscular torso and rather short legs.
All family members are respected, although sometimes they single out one owner. Chartreux cats will not meow heart-rendingly to the whole house, they generally prefer silence. The owners of the breed are especially respected for their calm disposition. Despite this, Chartreux is quite playful, and they are also excellent hunters. Pets of this breed are very independent and independent, they will follow the owner, but always prefer to stay away. Their love is unobtrusive.
By the way, one of the few cats that easily tolerate loneliness, although leaving them alone for a long time is not recommended.
By their nature, Chartreux is not conflicting, they are not useful in a fight first, therefore they easily find a common language with other pets. The main thing in this friendship is respect, which should be shown by all parties. Chartreux are friendly with children, especially kittens, they can play and have fun for a long time. If suddenly the pet gets tired of entertainment, he will calmly step aside.
