Chartreux

The Chartreux, which it is known like Certosino in Italy and Karthuizer in the Netherlands, receives all these names of the order of cartujos monks of those who it is said took care of them, although the present race of exhibition was not developed until the end of the Twenties and to the French criadores it cost to them enough to begin again after the race was threatened during World War II.

The cats gray bluish it has been known them in France by centuries, nevertheless, histories that tell that to these cats they brought of Africa the cartujos, or that the crossed ones flattered them, they do not have real base.
