This breed is very old. Its short woolly coat is said to have been sold as otter fur in ancient times. Bred by the Carthusian Monks in the monastery, the La Grand Chartreux.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The Chartreux has the sturdy, powerful body of a working cat wrapped in a short, thick, water-repellent coat. Besides his beautiful fur, his most distinctive feature is his deep orange eyes, set in a rounded, broad head. He has full cheeks and a sweet, smiling expression. Medium-size ears sit high on the head. His body type is sometimes described as primitive, being husky and robust with broad shoulders and a deep chest. His relatively short and fine-boned legs rest on round, medium-size paws that look almost dainty. A lively, flexible tail is heavy at the base, tapering to an oval tip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":827,"template":"","class_list":["post-826","dmc-breeds","type-dmc-breeds","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","glossary-c"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/catloversfestival.com.au\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dmc-breeds\/826","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/catloversfestival.com.au\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dmc-breeds"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/catloversfestival.com.au\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/dmc-breeds"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catloversfestival.com.au\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/827"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/catloversfestival.com.au\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
