Our darling Chartreux ....

We were wondering if Oscar was a breed of cat and seemingly he is! Jim did a search of "grey cats" and brought up this info on the Chartreux breed...definitely looks like our Oscar. Grey, muscular, golden eyes, affectionate and quiet.

It seems this breed originated in France in Grenoble, the Savoie region, and so he is definitely a "petit savoyard". Monique, who is from this region, will appreciate this I'm sure! Charles de Gaulle and the French novelist, Colette, owned cats of this breed.

Not Oscar but looks so much like him...I'm sure he is this breed.
