elderly according to traditions owes the "La Grande Chartreuse" one monk-decorations two remarkable contributions in France from the Middle ages. To the one, it is about a famous green liqueur, to the other about the beautiful blue Kartäuser-Katze.

Often, wrongly blue British short-hair-cats are called Kartäuser in the German-speaking space. they admittedly almost immediately look, two entirely different races nevertheless are, however! Remedy shaft the original-name "Chartreux."

The short one, writes poetry, water-repellent fur is uniquely blue. It is so dense that one can "break" it like sheep-fur. The powerful body is big until moderate-sized, penetrated, compact and muscular. it has a wide breast, wide shoulders, a wide back and a heavy tail. The legs are middle-short and finish in dainty paws. The head is round, wide, massively and with high forehead. The jaw is powerful, the cheeks full. The muzzle is rather small for the height, which awards the cat the "smiling" expression. The moderate-sized nose is straight, with what a weak one stop allowed is. The moderate-sized ones until small ears sit highly on the head, rather near together. The Kartäuser has copper-colored big or dark-orange eyes.

The Kartäuser radiates strength quiet and obvious independence a fascinating. Nevertheless, it pleases its people also with lovable devotion and tenderness. its affection is not pushy, it is content with it, dabeizusitzen, if its people are employed. its characteristics extend from noble grandeur to a certain clownesken Liveliness. Kartäuser-Katzen have a notably quiet voice. Never, one will hear a loud Gemaunze about a Kartäuser. Unfortunately, also dangers rescue this: it can make itself only badly noticeable if it is locked up or injured. Kartäuser-Katzen react very strongly to shouting. One therefore should avoid loud sounds in its present. All together: One Nature like velvet and silk. However it is mentioned that young-cats are very sincerely until the age of approximately one year.
