This breed was established in 1907. It has a slender appearance with a short, smooth coat. Colors range from a dark blue-gray to a very light almost lavender tone. Kittens often have a ring on their tails which fade with maturity. Their eyes take on various shades of green - anywhere from a light apple green to the deep emerald or jade hues. Calm, quiet, clean and affectionate, the Russian Blue is a shy but playful cat with an intelligent personality. Contact the cat breeders below for your next family friend.
