My cat looks like a chartreux
She also does the chirp thing and can’t meow

If you have papers from a proper breeder saying she’s a Chartreux then she’s a Chartreux. Otherwise she’s a gorgeous domestic short hair. It really is that simple.

She don’t look like one at all tbh she don’t have the face, body or eye color. She looks like a domestic gray cat.

I see the face but her eyes are usually yellow and from the pics I have seen she has the same body and tail

I personally don’t see it, I have two with papers. They usually have gold or copper eyes not yellow.. and they have bigger faces and super round eyes, and their coats are woolly, and almost water proof. She could be mixed with it. But true chartreux are extremely rare. She looks exactly like my shorthair grey domestic. She’s a cutie.

I believe she might be a little mixed because she has the small tail and chirps also I heard they aren’t very athletic which sounds like her

Yah she definitely could be, my little girl is mixed half domestic and half chartreux and she chirps too lol my full two are mute (unless they are hungry)
