Why Russian Blue Cats are Great

You may have heard a whole load about Russian Blue Cats in the past, but what is all the hype really about? These little creatures are so very elegant and cute! What’s more, people all around the globe adore these glorious little kitties so there must be something to it, right?




Well, luckily, you’ve come to the right place. If you’re a cat lover, you will know that all felines are wonderful. However, let’s just stop for a moment, and take a look at why this particular breed really is fantastic! Enjoy.

Russian Blue Cats are beautiful

There’s just no denying it; these cats are utterly gorgeous. With their tray fur and piercing eyes, it’s hard not to fall in love with them the very moment that you see them. For years and years, these have remained one of the most popular house pets in the world. The reason is glaringly obvious. You cannot look at one of these cats without wanting to cuddle and nurture it as best you can.

And they don’t shed a lot of fur!

One of the things that people tend to really adore about Russian Blue Cats is the fact that they simply don’t shed as much as other breeds. That means that if you happen to suffer from allergies, you’re unlikely to be as affected by this breed as you would others. What’s more, it also means that your home will generally be cleaner when you opt for this type of feline. What’s not to love?

They are naturally loving and shy

So, what is it that makes these kitties so very endearing? Well, perhaps it’s their shyness. It takes a whole load of time for these cats to warm up to people. In truth, that is because they are pretty timid creatures who find it hard to trust people around them. Still, once they do, you will reap the rewards of their love!

    I adopted a Russian Blue and he was the most loving cat that I ever owned aside from a Maine Coon. Unfortunately, I had to make a hard decision and put him down. He got a kitty cold from the pound and never could get over it. At the time, I couldn’t afford a ton of testing and the doctor thought it was terminal anyhow. If I got a cat again, Russian Blue would be at the top of my list.
