he's got yellow eyes and I know from my RB baby they start off with blue eyes then transition to green eyes, he def has a lot of Russian blue in him but he is not purebred. regardless, he is absolutely gorgeous
Awwww you've finally adopted him. Pets are blessings. Bless you more, Bri and your hubby. I am so happy to see him now in your home sweet home. I have adopted a cat, too, 8 yrs ago, but he was not from a shop or pet pound. Long sad story but yeah, pets are family. Love them dearly ❤❤❤
So happy you got to adopt Mickey! When he jumped out of the box, it was like he was comfortable straight away, as if he knew he was home!!!! Beautiful video. Bless you guys always x
Experienced cat owner here, and it’s safe to say you guys have won the cat lottery with Micky. He is sooo smoochie and already so comfortable with you both! Cats usually take months to settle into a new environment, and sometimes they will hide for weeks!
Awww this made me so happy. Welcome Mickey! It’s fate that he was still available after your trip. Given he’s a bit of an adventurer, I’d recommend you keep him as an indoor only cat. He’ll discover the cat tree in time, don’t worry. I have all of those same cat things from Kmart lol! I’ve adopted two cats from the RSPCA, adoption is the best!
The moment he arrived at your doorstep I saw you guys fall in love with him and I knew you'd adopt him! Congratulations and so happy that you guys found each other! So excited to see more of him on the vlog!
Congratulations! This makes me sooo happy. You aren’t the first person who said she doesn’t like cats/didn’t think about them and then meets one and falls in love. Cats have a way of doing that to you
Hooray! You adopted little Mickey 🤗 Wishing the three of you many, many happy years together. Both my cats were indoor cats and were quite happy. We would take them outside to explore every day but always kept watch over them. ❤️🐾❤️🐾
Hi Brie Congratulations on becoming a Cat Owner. You will have many years of cuddles, kisses & happiness with Mickey. I am an owner of 4 Cats & they do make a home more enjoyable. They do cuddle in the tiniest places, will scratch furnishings (suggest to have his nails cut at least every 2 to 3 months). They will find their favorite spots in the house to sleep & lounge about. Mix Wet & Dry Food in their daily routine of meals given. They are good to using their litter box/tray to do their business - you shouldn't see any rembrants on the floor/carpet They will clean themselves on a regular basis. Welcome to the Pet Ownership Club. Take Care 😊😊😊😊😊
I am so glad he came back!. He is a russian blue and i am sure he has a doble coat. The first layer it will be a kind of soft wool then his normal hair. I found a rusian blue kitten on the public square so i brought him home . Then i started to read about this cat and i found out he was a Rusian blue . I don't adopt animals because the are pedigree i just adopt them when they are in urgent need. They do like cool or coal places because of their doble coat. Collar can be dangerous as i found a cat in my garden tanglen up in some climbing plants on the fences.
We did the expensive beds, climbing things etc but wouldn't do that again as they inevitably don't use them. I'm glad you took the bell collar off him. Their hearing is so good that it would be like torture having that ringing in his ears most of the time. The clumping litter is definitely the best. Good luck and Mickey thanks you.😊
So happy Mickey has his forever home, he got a great Mum and Dad ❤ Have had a couple of Russian Blues, super affectionate beautiful cats. All my cats loved sleeping on our ironing board.
So happy you adopted him so cute! We have plastic covering on all our fabric kitchen chairs because our kitten that we have for over 1yr still likes to sharpen her nails on it. Give Mickey time to use all his toys and tree hopeful just needs adjustment time
AWWW congrats guys! Welcome Mickey! He sure made converts out of you guys! To not being keen on animals , now this little dude has stolen your hearts! Those eyes !! I'm sure he'll warm up to the tree😺
That's just wonderful - lucky Mickey!! Do you know how old he is? As for getting him to sleep in his bed, I've had a few cats over the years and they will pretty much sleep wherever they want..they do like a warm sunny spot though, so maybe try moving his bed near a sunny window during the day and he might start spending a bit of time in it.
Omg he is such a cute and handsome little guy I recently just adopted a Russian blue myself they love to play and explore and they usually have one favorite also be careful because sometimes they will start scratching your couch
its the smells, u can put ur socks or a jumper on the cat tree, he’s in a totally new environment with different smells but getting to know ur smells, ironing board smells more like u guys than the cat tree and new bed
Because he's a Russian blue, I'd have named him Ivan. He's a robust, fine-looking cat. One item you didn't mention when going through the accessories you got for him was claw-trimmers. I trim my cat's claws (her name is Toyoko-chan, & she's a Manx "shadow tortie") on a regular basis, even though she doesn't like it, and sometimes growls, hisses and tries to bite me.
Aww you got Mickey he absolutely gorgeous his colour 🥰 Do you know Roughly how old he is ? Collar have a Bell on it ? To let birds know he around . He really looks settled , he no doubt find his bed , climb tree, he just curious to the New surrounding . My youngest son has two cats he use a small spray with water to deter his cat from scratching carpet, or going on places they are not allowed to. It does work . Maybe get a brush. Start training him , i know some hate it others love it 😜 Have a Good week 🥰
did you do a adoption application? because in petstock we need to do or no in lost dogs home u dont need to do it.please if you read this leave a comment on this so i know please.Bye your the best
you inspired me to buy a cat because i wanted to buy a cat but until i watched this i wanted a cat.The cat im going to get is called Minty.Oh and i love mickey so much
@@BrieanaYoung once you have two, you’ll never go back. With our first cat, he had nobody to keep him company when we weren’t around and I know he missed us. These two keep each other company when we aren’t home and I feel better knowing they have each other. You would want to double up on items such as a litter box and food and water dishes.
You might want to put the like tee box in the garage or laundry because it will take over your house like a poltergeist lol another tip, the crystal litter is better for taking the smell away :)
Beautiful cat. He picked you as his humans. If he’s a pure breed Russian Blue he’s quite valuable - the previous owners were silly not chipping him. Did the vet or shelter give you an estimate of his age? To train him to use his bed try bribery - put a small hot water bottle under the bedding. Cats like window sills and your lap because they like the warmth.
Congratulations and welcome Mickey 🥳😍 Such a beautiful and social cat 😻 He looks almost exactly like the cat we adoptet 6 months ago - same blue color, facial structure, eyes and coat type 😃 How do you know that Mickey is a Russian Blue? 🙂 Did you do a DNA test? Been thinking about testing our boy, since he also really looks like a RB 😄 Best of luck to all of you 😘
Thank you! the vet and lost dogs home listed him as russian blue, so im not sure exactly if they did tests or just could tell by his characteristics but from googling russian blues i can tell that he has all the physical characteristics and personality traits of a russian blue. perhaps ask your vet! So cool to hear you adopted a cat also!
It’s so funny how the humans think they choose to have a cat. The cat chooses you. Mickey definitely picked you, it was a mild annoyance to him that he had to go through the bureaucratic red tape of the adoption process. He knew where he was going. It was just a matter of time 😂
The orange eyes makes me think he isnt a russian blue. Russian blues have green eyes and no white onnthem and pinkish paw pads. Either way hes super cute ❤
i think he might be half russian blue - but its crazy because when i google russian blue he has almost all the characteristics! haha we are obsessed with him! ❤
@BrieanaYoung I could be wrong. I am no expert. I have one myself. The thing that made me think mine was a RB was because she has: green eyes, pink paw pads, double coat, no white on her, and her tail had stripes made of fur.
@@BrieanaYoungare his eyes green? They might just look yellow on the camera. It happens with mine too! Sometimes she looks like she has orange eyes but they are green in normal light
I would use a water bottle to stop unwanted behaviours. We love our cats so much; however, they can do serious damage to your furniture. We don't use the bottle anymore because they know not to touch our furniture. It's also really important to trim his nails frequently. For the bed/iron board, it could be because it's on the floor; cats tend to like sleeping up high off the floor. Ours both sleep in separate beds on our laundry bench.
I would use a spray bottle of water when my cat would scratch. I only used it a few times for my cat to learn where the no-go zones were. Now she uses the cat equipment we have, which is similar to yours!
Will Mickey be an in door cat or out door cat ??!! You should consider trimming his nails if he is an in door cat that way he can’t scratch your furniture. Don’t declaw his nails just trim them or cut them every once in a while.
Its not a russian blue. The physical appereance is not even close. Its just a domestic short hair (mixed). The only guarantee its a russian blue is, it comes with paper and pedigree. 😊
@@BrieanaYoungwell, the two ways to identify if he is a Russian blue is that he should have emerald eyes or mauve toe pads. I think he is a mix or korat or chartreux. 100% not a Russian as I have a purebred Looks adorable though
Is she kidding ? Who the hell cares about the clothes she bought on her outing to KMART. She’s not mature enough to take on cat ownership. It’s all about her.
Meanwhile, someone is missing their long lost cat. NOT an enlightening video at all. Just because he wasn't chip'd, doesn't mean a family is missing him right now. Seems like he was stolen, just like MY Russian Blue was about 15 years ago. Our NOW Russian Blue stays INSIDE because of people like this...
Sorry to hear your cat was stolen! It’s illegal to have cats outside in Australia so he obviously wasn’t being looked after or he was a lost cat. He was at the lost animal shelter for over a month and no one collected him so his family must not have been missing him that much.
Lol, the cat will be sleeping with you soon. Congrats! You are a lovely little family!
he's got yellow eyes and I know from my RB baby they start off with blue eyes then transition to green eyes, he def has a lot of Russian blue in him but he is not purebred. regardless, he is absolutely gorgeous
Congratulations on adopting Mickey....He's a handsome boy💖
So so handsome! 😍

yes love having him as part of the family! ❤️
So glad you kept him ❤❤
same!! ❤️
So happy you got to adopt Mickey! When he jumped out of the box, it was like he was comfortable straight away, as if he knew he was home!!!! Beautiful video. Bless you guys always x
So happy to have him ❤️❤️❤️
Keep Mickey inside so he doesn't get lost, stolen or killed. cats can live a normal life without ever going outside.
thats the plan :)

Micky's tale is up, that means he is happy and comfortable around you guys~
awww makes me so happy!
Brieana good cute cat lovely everything every view of volg nice thanks ur sharing ur experience

Enjoyed your video.Thank you for sharing !
Thanks for watching :)
18:24 honestly, when you said that you bought a cat bed, I laughed.
😂😂😂😂 he still hates it!
Congratulations! This makes me sooo happy. You aren’t the first person who said she doesn’t like cats/didn’t think about them and then meets one and falls in love. Cats have a way of doing that to you
I appreciate your honesty about not giving a crap when ppl show you pictures of their pets 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Hooray! You adopted little Mickey 🤗 Wishing the three of you many, many happy years together. Both my cats were indoor cats and were quite happy. We would take them outside to explore every day but always kept watch over them. ❤️🐾❤️🐾

You both of you are very kind

Hi Brieana..hope you guys had a lovely holiday..Hello Mickey😊

Thank you! He has moved to the cat tree to sharpen his nails now thank goodness haha!

Hi Breanna happy Wednesday night and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
Good morning!

we are obsessed with him!
Welcome to the channel Mickey, glad you found your forever home 💙
So happy you adopted Mickey. He is so precious 😊🐈⬛🙋🏼♀️👍🏻🇺🇸
so are we! we love him! 🥰
Yay I was wondering what might have happened with Micky ❤❤❤
❤️❤️
You should get him a scratching post or several of them. They should stop him from scratching things you don't want him to.
There are scratching posts on the tree, which he actually loves now! :)
@@BrieanaYoung That's great!!
its the smells, u can put ur socks or a jumper on the cat tree, he’s in a totally new environment with different smells but getting to know ur smells, ironing board smells more like u guys than the cat tree and new bed
good tips! thanks!
Aw so happy you adopted Mickey. I'm a firm believer that animals choose you, you don't choose them. It was meant to be.
That’s so cute to think that he choose us… we are so in love with him!
😍 lovely story and beautiful kitty Russian blue very well behavior
He’s gorgeous isn’t he!

Welcome back from Europe! Awww cute cat! ❤
Thank you! 😊
Hello nice Video
Oh thanks
Awww…..what a handsome boy Mickey is. We are two cat household and it’s so fun.
What is it like having two? Braden keeps bringing up the idea of adopting another one!
@@BrieanaYoung once you have two, you’ll never go back. With our first cat, he had nobody to keep him company when we weren’t around and I know he missed us.

Pee box * lol
Thanks for the tips!
My two Cats lived till 20 & 22 they were Mother & Daughter.

awww sorry to hear that! Hope you are doing okay
November 26 we too adopted Russian blue from shelter// there is nothing stray about this cat

Sounds like someone put a collar on him that would alert pray and threw him out.
☹️☹️ so sad if that is the case!
I would use a spray bottle of water when my cat would scratch. I only used it a few times for my cat to learn where the no-go zones were. Now she uses the cat equipment we have, which is similar to yours!
great tips thanks!
Please don’t spray your cat. That is just torturing them.

Don’t declaw his nails just trim them or cut them every once in a while.
he will be an indoor cat! yeah we would never declaw but have been trimming them!
Declawing is illegal in Australia .
thats so wrong. the cat had a collar obviously...
What’s wrong?
Its not a russian blue. The physical appereance is not even close. Its just a domestic short hair (mixed). The only guarantee its a russian blue is, it comes with paper and pedigree. 😊
He was a stray so now way of getting his pedigree! vet said he was a Russian blue and he has all the characteristics of it so we are going with that
@@BrieanaYoungwell, the two ways to identify if he is a Russian blue is that he should have emerald eyes or mauve toe pads. I think he is a mix or korat or chartreux. 100% not a Russian as I have a purebred

🤔 Can you put the cat tree in front of the window? Ahh yes, there is perfect. 🤞He’ll eventually sit there and watch stuff out the window.
Is she kidding ? Who the hell cares about the clothes she bought on her outing to KMART. She’s not mature enough to take on cat ownership. It’s all about her.
😂😂😂 you can think what you like! Thanks for watching!
By the way, if he DOESN'T play fetch like a dog, then he DOESN'T have solid Russian Blue traits...
