The Natural Chartreux— Origin and History

A group of Belle lie Chartreux bred by the Leger sisters, 1935. Drawing of Chartreux used to illustrate a thesis presented by Jumeau at the University of Lyon in 1925. Very evident are the Chartreux's woolly coat, robust physique, and straight nose.

There exists a lovely old legend that the Chartreux lived with, and were named for, the Carthusian monks of France, and perhaps even shared a tipple or two of their famous Chartreuse liqueur! Recent research, however, indicates that because

  • f the woolly character of their fur, they were given

the same name as a well known Spanish wool of the early 18th century. Since this method of naming is common in animal husbandry, it is very likely the truth. Nevertheless, the presence of this natural breed of cat was noted in documents as early as the 16th century, and was acknowledged for its unique coat texture and color. Their thick, woolly coats lend credence to the theory that the Chartreux must have originated in the mountainous regions of ancient Syria, then were probably brought to Europe by ship around the end of the Crusades (11th through 13th centu- ries). Documents confirm that Chartreux were maintained as ratters, traded by furriers, and even eaten as a by-product of the garment industry. In
