The Chartreux is considered a French breed, even though the exact origin on this cat is unknown. There are documents from the 16th century that speak of the Chartreux and its unique coat. This breed often takes a full three years to reach maturity and has an adolescent stage between kitten and adult. The Chartreux has a double coat that should not be brushed, but stroked by hand and then went over with a chamois.
