���� Blues are known for their non-destructive, placid nature.� Unlike the boisterous and attention craving Siamese, the Blue is typically a very soft-spoken, undemanding cat.� They're perfect for busy singles and couples, and make great apartment pets.� They're accepting of the owner who is not home a lot, but are still completely devoted to that person when they do return home.
���� Their remarkable coat, a bluish-silver with almost a white tipping, makes them appear to shimmer as they move.� Their fur is very dense, and incredibly soft.� Running your finger through its coat, you can leave a pattern on the cat due to the fur density.� Their bright, clear eyes begin as blue, turn yellow, and gradually to green - some become so vibrant they're like emeralds!� Their face is set in this permanent grin, as if they know something you don't.� And of course, they're remarkably photogenic. :)
���� Did I mention their back paws only have four toes?� I have no idea why.
���� This breed is thought to be from far northern regions, and can therefore tolerate cold very well.� Mine, in fact, gets hot very easily and will often move OUT of the sun!!
���� I can't say enough wonderful things about this breed, because it suits me perfectly.� For more information, please visit russianblue.org (which is an amazing site with more information than I can describe), russianblue.com and russianblue.net.� You should also pick up a copy of The Russian Blue Cat by Ingeborg Urcia, it's a great resource for owners and soon-to-be owners!� I hope you'll enjoy Blues as much as I do!
