MEET THE RUSSIAN! 🐱
The Russian is bred in three colours, Blue, Black and White. It is a short haired cat of foreign type, but it is not as extreme in “type” as the Siamese and other Orientals. The body is long and graceful with medium strong bone. Legs are long with small oval paws and the tail is fairly long and tapering. The short, wedge-shaped head is topped by large pointed ears, set vertically to the head. The Russian has prominent whisker pads and vivid green almond shaped eyes. The coat of the Russian is a very important feature being short, thick but fine and standing up soft and silky. The Russian Blue coat has a silvery sheen, the Russian Black has a glossy coat; while the Russian White coat appears to sparkle. A good Russian should have an elegant appearance with an aristocratic expression.
The elegant Russian Blue has a keen intellect that makes it an engaging companion. It observes people to determine if they are worthy of its companionship. Sometimes people see this behaviour as shy or aloof when it is really a reserve with strangers until it has fully assessed them. Once the Russian decides you are worthy of its attention, it is extremely affectionate and expects your loving attention to all its needs.
