The Russian Blue is known for its affection and
serene disposition. It is well-loved for its elegant, yet simplistic
appearance. This breed requires little grooming, yet remains stunning
at all times.
This is an extremely affectionate breed that loves being around
people, including strangers, and other cats. The Russian Blue is
also known for being quite gentle and serene. However, some have
described it as a temperamental cat. It enjoys staying inside and
can be either playful or sedentary, depending on its particular
personality. The Russian Blue is also known for being less destructive
than other breeds. This breed has a very soft, sweet voice and requires
little maintenance.
The Russian Blue has a medium-size, slender, elongated, and well-muscled
body. The legs are long and slender with round paws. The tail is
long, thin, and tapering. The head is wedge-shaped and of medium
size. In Britain, the head is rounder than in America. The eyes
are large, almond-shaped, and green. The nose is medium length and
the ears are large, wide-set, and moderately pointed. The Russian
Blue's weight ranges from 7 to 12 pounds, though it is slightly
heavier in Britain. They live to be approximately 13 to 15 years
old.
Obviously, this breed is known for its blue coat, which can range
from light to dark gray with a silvery sheen. However, White, Black,
and Red variations are accepted in some countries. They are referred
to as Russian Whites, Russian Blacks, and Russian Reds. The coat
is short and dense, due to the double coat, consisting of an outer
coat of strong guard hairs and an inner coat of water-resistant
down hairs.
This breed can be playful or lack the need for activity. However,
if it becomes overweight, it should be encouraged to play and exercise.
