    I have a Russian blue, he was a surrender, me, being a cat lover brought him home, he was 2 years old at the time, I'm not sure what he went thru before I got him, but, he definitely was a total mess, tore up and broke alot of this, after having him for about 6 months, he started changing, I gave him his space, he had toys a 7 foot tree house, I spoiled him, and today, 3 years later, this guy is a total love bug, he is one of the sweetest cats I've ever owned, he's calmed down, everytime I sit down, he's in my lap, so very happy this fur baby came into my life

      I did not particularly want another cat, but my youngest daughter was offered one. I kept turning her down until one day she showed me him on Facebook and I lost my heart to him♥️...
      Harry has turned out to be one of the best cats I have ever owned, I would say that he has been the easiest to live with being completely loyal and very loving to me when I was all alone and poorly last year. What I like about this breed is that everything is so understated with them, they are never "in your face" and live very happily in the background. I would definitely recommend this breed, he seems to understand everything I say, weird! In addition, I would describe him as being quite "sensible" however, they do like to jump - being very tall cats. I do let him outside in his own garden (all of my cats are housecats) where he likes to survey "his territory" but I always keep my eye on him. Harry hates snow and the cold and is one of the first to fly back into the house when he has had quite enough of the great outdoors.

    Love your two cats! Russian Blue are so sensitive.. they are very loyal to their owner. I have a female Russian blue in Beijing. she is always welcome me and my boyfriend when we got home. In morning she send us off when we go to work. Smart and easy to train. She is almost 10 years old but still very active and healthy.

    Russian Blues are the best cats, they have good personalities. They’ve got good manners, playful and loving. Very good purring! Not much shedding and they do like their food. They like a routine, breakfast and dinner on time. Snacks like chew sticks. I recommend getting a pair, they enjoy company.

    I was given a Russian blue by mu friend a little over a five years ago. I believe Murzick was eleven months old at the time. He jumped out of the carry case grabbed on to my jacket, and have not been in that carry case since. For a while I use to take him out and he would sit on my shoulder. But as he got older he did want to do it anymore and after he peed on me I stopped taking him outside. When I was moving and tried to put him in the carry case he shredded me pretty good. In the end I had to give him Xanax and still I couldn't get him in the case. Finally I picked him up and put him on my shoulder like in the old days and we took a two hour train ride from the Bronx to Brooklyn. I'm happy to say we made it to the new place without incident.

    Wonderful vid, thanks for sharing. I had a beautiful Russian Blue for 20 years ( I named her 'Misty Blue'; 'Misty', after an old jazz song (sung by Ella Fitzgerald), and 'Blue' because she was a Russian Blue. She loved being outside in the day, and inside at night (Sydney, Australia home). She had a tree covered in thick bark which was her favourite 'scratch post'. She was such an elegant and loving cat, but unfortunately she enjoyed to 'fetch' me small animals she had caught!! James and Mya will give you many wonderful times as they grow!

    I just came across your video and was happy to have seen and heard your life with your Russiam Blues. I have had mine, named Corey for almost 10 years now. He is my best friend and companion. I would get another one but there are already 2 other cats in my place. Long story but 2 of them have become very competitive for my bed, a favorite chair and toys. I am retired so I can be there if things start heating up. Love my Corey so much. Thanks for sharing yours with us as they are so loving and sweet.

    Hi! Absolutely agree with you. I just got my baby kitten Russian Blue breed. Somehow the Universe gave her to me and I was in the right place at the right time to find out that the firefighters came here to save the kitten out of the tree. She is only 3 months old. I was there per case and imediately I hear the mew crying I knew I have to stop and look for it. I didn't knew why the firefighers were there for. Find out that there was this kitten on the tree and she was crying. The lady who called the 911 told me that the kitten was there the whole day and it is cold already. I asked the guys if they save the kitten from the tree I will take her home. I am a cat volunteer and saved many cats lately, but as soon as the firefighter gave the kitten to me she imediately huged me and start to purr. I knew that this baby cat will not going anywere. Honestly in all my cat life volunterering I had the crush for two cats only. Thy were adopted both. This is the third one and is priceless how amazind this little creature can be. She is the sweeties cat ever. Love her so so much.

      Hello, glad to hear you made the choice on this absolutely stunning breed. You won't regret it. This is what i know.
      We got ours from Wilwarins Russisch Blau from Ratingen and i can not recommend the breeder enough. We in fact became friends after they gave us Jamesy and Mya.
      Another wonderful breeder that i know and can recommend from Germany is Silberfeder Russian Blau - pls check their pages and fb pages too.
      To be honest first i found this second one and the kittens who i fell in love were sold out. So she was kind enough to recommend her friend breeder and this is how we ended up with our cats.
      Best of luck getting furry loves new forever home
