    My wife and I just recently lost our 16 year old pure Russian blue and we haven't stopped crying yet. His name was fiddy and he was the most beautiful and best cat we have ever owned. We are looking for another Russian blue now..

    They have a very different fur texture than other cats. Short softest fur, that feels like a plushy toy with an addition of a silky feeling

    I have one of these furbags! They truly dont shed much, are independent, love times of affection and play, then, they're done. Off to privacy and a nap. Theyre also very smart, and learn quickly. If you get one, get involved, interactive toys, and make a "find it" game when giving treats. If you have a single cat, be sure to provide a lot of interesting things to do in your absence. A scratching post and cat tree are also wise choices. The only downsides: Keep an eye on their teeth, anal glands, and digestion. Monitor these, keep ahead of any problems, and you should be fine. Dont smoke anything, use air fresheners, oils, incense or wax cubes. Their respiratory systems are touchy. If you live in a cold climate, a thermal pad is a good idea-they tend to get cold. Overall, a smart, affectionate, funny companion, who talks, but doesn't yowl, and when they want you, they want you NOW! 🐱

      Ours is a mix with a touch of calico. I am russian- Ukrainian and we take a while to let ppl in.but we love with our hearts. This cat is the same. Lol
      She ll spend a bit of time but not much. She ll talk to me but then she is done. She ll sleep on my daughter's legs but don't touch her! So weird. She is Russian lol . My hubby brought a tabby calico and she is so loving! If you leave the room she ll scream and run for you. Just makes me realize how independent Blue is lol .

    LOVE our Russin Blue !
    He is 13 . Named him Spanky.
    He was found in a taped up box on the side of a highway ....only 5 weeks old. Fed him goat milk from a doll bottle. He grew wonderfully healthy.
    Smart, and so much fun to have around!
    We hope to have him for many years to come!
    Thanks for the great video on his heritage!

  • @drpigglesnuudelworte5209

    My Russian blue doesn’t rly like playing but she LOVES snuggling me, and me alone. I would definitely describe her as clingy on occasion. She doesn’t seem to have a lot of predatory behavior or tendencies, she’s bored and disinterested when I dangle cat toys and would rather just chill in her little shelf, sleeping on the blanket i knitted for her. She knows how to manipulate you into cuddling her too so she’s very smart (she curls herself into a tight ball, rubs her head on the ground like she’s trying to pet herself, looks directly in your eyes and softly meows. You can’t not pet her it’s too precious). And if you don’t cuddle or pet her for an adequate amount of time she get mad.

    My Blu has CH and has several obstacles in life so far. I love him to peices. I think he acts like a puppy. He follows us around during the day and sleeps the entire night on our bed. Fur is low maintenance. He is quiet. He is an aggressive eater. I love on him often but he'd prefer I cut back. He does seem really shy around strangers!

First of all he doesn’t purr but loves cuddling to an extent. I also play fetch with him and he loves it! I’ve never had a cat that will play fetch. He’s a year old and so much fun!!

    Our Russian Blue, named Bailey, is the best cat ever! I wasn’t into cats but this cat is awesome! No, really, he’s awesome! The only warning I can give people over 60 is if you’re laying on your back in bed and you feel a pressure on your chest, it’s probably your Russian Blue sitting on you wanting to be fed in the early morning. Once you hear the purring then you’ll know it’s not a heart attack.
