I have a TICA Certified female Russian Blue that I went to great hassle to get. She was worth all the work and expense! Hands down, the best cat breed.
There are 3 different lines of Russian blues. You have the slimmer American line with the pronounced triangle head and big ears. The English line, who are build more like a European shorthair and the Scandinavian line. We have 2 kittens from the English line because we like a bit sturdier cat.
Mines probably a domestic grey, but he's got the plush grey fur, the green eyes (not as vivid as the RB's should be) and the personality traits. Got him free from the shelter because he had gotten kidney stones and needed prescription cat food. We just feed him the urinary tract formula from purina one, and no issues in the 4 years that we've had him. I think his previous owner probably liked to give him milk all the time (it's still a favorite of his, even if I hardly ever give him any).
my russian blue arrived from russia two weeks ago he’s such a good boy well behaved and playful follows me everywhere and calls me for his food on time everyday very playful and intelligent very brave too does’t mind vacuuming or the sound of my grinder or coffee machine love him we named him Cosmo 🙏
On the 6 th August 2018, I had to put to sleep my little Russian blue Elsa, at the age of 9. She had a cancer! It took me a year to get over it! I felt sooooo bad and depressed! On the 20th of August 2019, a new little Russian girl was born just for me! She arrived home on the 20th november 2019. I called her Priska! I am now living a new love story with her! I also have a female bengal cat called Ciryane. She loves kittens! Thanks to this race of cats that give you so much love! I miss Elsa, but Priska helps me to live a new love story. It is also the case for my bengal cat Ciryane! It is so difficult to get over such a loss! I am a man and I can just cry over and over for the loss of my Elsa! Now Priska is giving us (Ciryane and I) a reason to continue loving and hoping!
We are adopting our first russian blue by the 12th of october this year (2024). My sister has 2 so thats what brought me to the Russian Blue. They are so awesome.. cant wait for the 12th 🥰 Her name is Chilly 🌶❤🔥
Why all the British shorthairs with golden yellow eyes? Your Russian can enjoy outdoors, it gets easily used to a harness and you can check if you can have a firm metal net around your balcony/patio. The Russian likes to take a walk with you. Mine is easy to follow and catch in case he ventures out of the door. One thing is for sure: you do not have to go to the toilet alone unless you want to.
There are 3 different lines of Russian blues so maybe some of the cats you saw are RB's but from the other line that you know? I did see a Scottish fold and a Persian cat I think.
So I recently moved and adopted a stray russian blue he is an outside cat, but I would like him to be more indoors. Any tips? I dont want to take away his freedom, but I want him to be clean and rid of any fleas and so on because he follows me into my room and bed. I live in florida so he wont freeze to death. How can I make him feel more at home? I am too scared to bathe him with his claws, and taking him to the vet is an option, but I just dont know how he will react.
he is gentle and loves to eat. speak softly and play w/ a 'string & stick' to coax him out, becoming comfortable at home. give him a soft window seat - he will feel like its 'outside'. go online to pet bucket (a company) and order a med for cats called 'revolution' for the antidote to many parasitical infestations, including fleas & ear mites, and mange. very simple. serve both wet and dry meals each day. brush and trim nails carefully as needed. TIPS- GIVE HIM A BLANKET FOR SLEEPING UP FROM THE FLOOR- PLAY GENTLE MUSIC-BIRDSONG SOFTLY & provide FRESH WATER EVERY DAY!
I think the most important thing is that you get his trust and offer him a good place to live, but you don't force him. Everything else has to happen... My two were in my apartment from an early age and were afraid outside. I would have been afraid for her too. schubfach.de/bilder.html
Don’t let him go outside, and give him all the things he may need, scratchers, toys, beds, cat litter, a cat tree if possible. I have same situation, and my Russian blue now is happy to be only indoors. Of course neuter him.
Please don't compare Russian Blues with Dobermans. Dobermans were specifically bred to be guard dogs, while the Russian Blue is a naturally-occurring breed (though recently they have been interbred with other cats). Both of them are great, but it's like comparing the finest sushi in Japan to a legendary taco truck in Los Angeles.
YES! Thank you! If the judge had said "looks like" or "reminds me of" I would think it's a stretch but not as misleading as carelessly slapping that label on Blues. I've known Dobermans. Give me a break. I've spent hours studying cat breeds before I decide which breed to bring into my home and flagrantly misleading info only makes it harder. I am not amused.
Oh thank you for saying that Peter... My Russian Blue, Silver Sapphire Autumn Blue, she is 11 and I want her to live another ten years or more if I can. She is the boss in this house and we adore each other. I waited for her to be born and I was put into a room of six kittens and Sapphie ran up my leg and chose me. When I cuddle her she trills. I talk with her everyday, and she always answers back. She is very clever as I ask her does she want her brush, or her clippers or her blanket or breakfast or dinner or outside. She got her very first bath last week because she stank like no one's business. It was a bit traumatic at first, but then I bribed her with her brush and cuddles. Best thing ever her coat was better than velvet and she flopped on top of my lap and purred like crazy. She truly is a gift.
It is rare to find a video about breed cats and dogs that don't have photos of wrong breed thrown in. Some are really ridiculous. It's annoying and should be called out. (We are told to "remember to keep our comments respectful". Really? I don't respect fraudulent representations.)
Brush Mishas teeth everyday? Seriously? I've never brushed her teeth. I've never bathed her. She's a 100% indoor cat. She's going on three and a half yrs living with me... Am I a bad parent?
It is so sad that maker of this TH-cam has a photo of a cat with a white patch on its gray body and implies this cat is a Russian Blue! This obvious mistake makes the rest of the video suspect and makes one doubt the true intentions of the maker of this video.
It is much easier to be the center of cat's attention. My cat likes to make biscuits on me or crab my arm when he wants me to get up and go for a walk with him. I clip only the sharp point, about 1mm away.
What? The Doberman is a breed only strong, experienced owners should have. Without proper handling they can be dangerous like all guard breeds. Are you claiming this about the Russian Blue? Or was that judge an idiot?
No. Cats can behave even if they are not subordinate like dogs. You just need to offer them food, companionship and a clean peaceful toilet. The Doberman comparison is about the lean and strong body.

I owned a pedigree Russian blue bred from a show champion for 16 years, now sadly gone due to cancer tumors he is missed by me every day 😢 😞 😔 💔
I have a blue Russian cat that I found as a baby, the vet had to tell me what the breed was. He follows me everywhere❤️
More than half the cats in the slideshow aren't russian blue.
Maybe but most of them were at least part Russian Blue. A lot of hybrids out there.
I have a part Russian Blue and he Acts very much as described in this video. They are wonderful cats!
@@legally_ellecee Yes, just like having a faithful dog but easier to take care of.

I have had 4 over the years and my 2 yr old boy is the most loyal cat I have ever had I just love them

I just adopted a male Russian Blue cat. He is the sweetest cat. I have 2 female cats, and I love them all. I have to say this RB is super special!
Awww!!!!!!

Panos B.E.P I think it’s a british short hair
I also think British Shorthair.
I have a 14 month old RB. She's my baby💕
i have one already. we named him as Gray ❤️

Me too
My boy Pugs was 22 pounds of grey beautiful fur before “passing on” from diabetes.

Russian Blues are beautiful!
At least use actual Russian blue cats photos for that kind of video ^^’ A lot of them were different breeds
There are 3 different lines of Russian blues so maybe some of the cats you saw are RB's but from the other line that you know? I did see a Scottish fold and a Persian cat I think.
Yes I love mine
İ listening Beethoven 9.symphony it's wonderfull
Mine is now 17.

I think it is ok to say that a spade is what it is.
cats do not need to brush their teeth....and they wash themselves
Brush Mishas teeth everyday? Seriously? I've never brushed her teeth. I've never bathed her. She's a 100% indoor cat.
She's going on three and a half yrs living with me...
Am I a bad parent?
Bad parent? Probably not unless her teeth were awful and she needed a bath.
what symphony is this plz?
Beethoven Nr 9.
It is so sad that maker of this TH-cam has a photo of a cat with a white patch on its gray body and implies this cat is a Russian Blue! This obvious mistake makes the rest of the video suspect and makes one doubt the true intentions of the maker of this video.
and a Scottish Fold
RB's can have a white patch but it's seen as an imperfection.
Why you speak about pounds in stead of kilo's?
Are you supposed to trim cat nails they need them
It is much easier to be the center of cat's attention. My cat likes to make biscuits on me or crab my arm when he wants me to get up and go for a walk with him. I clip only the sharp point, about 1mm away.
You clip only the tip. And when the come outside the nails gets duller by themselves.
What? The Doberman is a breed only strong, experienced owners should have. Without proper handling they can be dangerous like all guard breeds. Are you claiming this about the Russian Blue? Or was that judge an idiot?

It's no stupid doberman....
