History

Appearance

Chausie is a medium-bodied, long and slender cat, with males weighing around 4.5-7.5 kg, and females 3.4-5 kg. Chausies are good jumpers and runners, due to their long body. Chausie is a short-haired cat with a variety of coat colors, including silver, brown, solid black, black tabi, and spotted black.[4][3][5]

Behavior
