7 Reasons You Should Get A Russian Blue Cat 🐱

[@russianbluecatfact]

🌟 "Thinking about adding a furry family member? Russian Blue cats are a truly unique and amazing choice. In this video, we'll explore the 7 compelling reasons that make Russian Blues the purrfect companions. 🐾❤

[@MrTbk1701]

We had one growing up his name was Smoky and he was the best. My sister would rap him up in a blanket and push him around in her baby buggy. He was also a fierce protector of our house. He’d always bring us presents and liked to sneak into our grandma’s purse and steal candy. I have a grey tabby now because he reminds me of him ❤️

[@russianbluecatfact]

That's such a sweet story about Smoky! It sounds like he was a real character and a beloved member of the family. The image of your sister pushing him around in a baby buggy is adorable - some cats are surprisingly tolerant! It's wonderful that Grey reminds you of Smoky. Maybe there's a bit of that same spirit and protectiveness in him. The candy-stealing antics are too funny - they definitely had a mischievous streak in common! Grey sounds like a great cat too, keeping the tradition of bringing you "presents." It's amazing how cats can bring so much joy and personality into our lives. Here's to Smoky and Grey, both wonderful companions! ❤

@@russianbluecatfact Well my new cat’s name is Cleo after Cleopatra. Cleo the Leo. He is a grey tabby, and how he got his name is a story all onto its self 😻

[@russianbluecatfact]

@@MrTbk1701 Ooh, Cleo the Leo, that's a fantastic name! A regal grey tabby named after a legendary queen - it perfectly suits his description. I'm all ears for the story behind the name - sounds like there must be some royal intrigue involved! Was it his regal bearing, a dramatic meow, or something else entirely? Do tell, we're all waiting to hear about Cleo's origin story!

Years ago, on Christmas Eve, I rescued a Russian Blue, who was frantically trying to get across a very busy intersection in Houston, Texas. Thanks to some men in the fire truck next to me, we were successful. I didn’t know what a Russian Blue was, until I took Buster to have him checked out. He was cool, calm, and just the right addition to our active fur-baby family. We had many years of happiness with Buster. Two weeks ago, I came across another Russian Blue. Graylie is gorgeous and aloof, but still very sweet and loving. She definitely has her own personality! We are in the process of getting her acquainted with her feline brother, Milo, and canine sisters, Ellie Marie and Roxie. Rescue is our favorite breed!

How could anyone let treat cats like you described- roaming a busy interesection? Kudos to your rescue. Love this breed!

[@russianbluecatfact]

That's fantastic! Congratulations on adopting a Russian Blue this summer. They are indeed adorable and beautiful cats. It's great to hear that she's playful and active-it sounds like you've got a lively and charming companion! Wishing you and your new feline friend many joyful moments together. ❤❤❤

[@armlovesmetal1036]

I absolutely love Russian Blues and Korats. I have a weakness towards gray cats since having had 2 beauties myself. I miss my Spooki and Brittney so much. They were the best cats I have ever had in my life.

[@russianbluecatfact]

I completely understand your love for Russian Blues and Korats. Gray cats, like your Spooki and Brittney, have a special place in our hearts. It's incredible how these feline companions can leave such a lasting impact. Cherishing the memories of your beloved cats is a beautiful way to honor the joy and love they brought into your life. ❤🐾

[@rolorock4586]

I have a Russian Blue Found her in street only a few months old She's bn with us over 20 years she's getting older she had out lived my other cats but still very loving I can't imagine my life without her

[@russianbluecatfact]

That's an incredible story! Finding a precious Russian Blue on the street and having her be your companion for over 20 years is truly special. It sounds like you two have an amazing bond. Twenty years is a fantastic age for a cat, and it's wonderful that she's still so loving. It's completely understandable that you can't imagine life without her. The love between humans and cats can be truly remarkable. Here are some things you can do to ensure her golden years are comfortable and happy: Regular vet checkups: Senior cats may need more frequent checkups to monitor their health. Senior-friendly environment: Ramps or raised food bowls can make life easier for older cats. Dietary adjustments: Your vet may recommend a senior cat food to meet her nutritional needs. Extra TLC: Spend quality time with her, offer gentle petting and brushing, and cherish these moments together.

[@InwoodRoz]

I adopted a Russian blue from our shelter. She’s very large and VERY protective of me. She’s a one-person cat!!

[@russianbluecatfact]

That's fantastic! Given that Russian Blue cats are renowned for having distinct personalities, it appears that you and your new cat have a close relationship. Russian Blues are known to be devoted to and protective of the person they have chosen. Savor the affection and company that your pet can offer! Please don't hesitate to ask questions or seek advice on how to take care of your Russian Blue.

[@kathleentanski5744]

I have a Russian Blue Cat, but he is bad, gets into everything, likes to be as high as he can get, on top of furniture and curtain rods, the only time he wants on my lap is when he is tired and sleepy. He is very intelligent, opening cabinet doors and room doors. He is going on 3 years old but doesn’t have green eyes yet. He keeps me very busy.

[@russianbluecatfact]

It sounds like you have quite the mischievous but intelligent companion in your Russian Blue Cat! Their penchant for exploration and high places is typical of the breed's curious and agile nature. It's fascinating how they can figure out how to open doors and cabinets, showing off their problem-solving skills. While it can be tiring to keep up with such an active feline friend, it's also rewarding to see them thrive in their environment. As he grows older, he may eventually develop the distinctive green eyes that Russian Blues are known for, adding to his charm. Remember to provide plenty of mental and physical stimulation for your cat through interactive toys, puzzle feeders, and designated climbing areas to help channel his energy in positive ways. With patience, consistency, and lots of love, you'll continue to enjoy the unique companionship of your Russian Blue.

[@MR-pr8tp]

He isn't bad, just a Russian Blue. they are unique and energetic.

[@LedaXI]

I'm on my second one (after losing my first suddenly and unexpectedly). They have such unique personalities and are more sociable than any other cat I've ever owned.

[@russianbluecatfact]

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your first Russian Blue. It's truly heartbreaking to lose a beloved pet. Russian Blues do have incredibly unique personalities, and many owners find them to be more sociable than other cat breeds. It's wonderful that you've found joy and companionship in another Russian Blue. Each cat is special in its own way, and I hope your current feline friend brings you lots of love and comfort.

[@veritasinvicta8128]

I love Russian Blues. My ex had a cat that I swear was Russian blue or dark grey.

[@russianbluecatfact]

I share your love for Russian Blues! They are truly captivating. Even if your ex's cat wasn't a pure Russian Blue, the traits and charm of these cats often leave a lasting impression. The allure of that dark grey coat and unique personality is unmistakable. 😺💙

[@Lovecruzin1]

Ours just appeared out of the woods one day……..he’s a hunter for sure, I get at least 3 gifts a day 😜. He doesn’t like to be picked up but he loves to be hugged. He’s just like a dog he follows us all around the yard. Won’t use a litter box. Goes outside. Won’t drink water from a bowl or a fountain. He drinks out of a spring. He will sit beside us in the morning while we drink our coffee. Will crawl in bed with us but sleeps at our feet…….he’s the softest, silkiest cat I’ve ever had………don’t know who got rid of him but we’re glad to have him……..by the way, his name is Grey ❤❤

[@russianbluecatfact]

It sounds like Grey adopted you, and what a wonderful addition he is! Here's a reply combining the best of both worlds: That's an amazing story! Finding a cat who chooses you is a special thing. Ours showed up one day too, so we know the feeling. Grey sounds like quite the character! The daily gifts are adorable - a true hunter showing his love. Ours isn't a cuddle bug either, but enjoys some good chin scratches on his own terms. Following you around the yard? That's practically a dog move! Fresh spring water, huh? Cats can be so particular. Ours prefers the faucet drip over a bowl any day. At least Grey uses the great outdoors as his litter box! Maybe someday he'll warm up to a box inside, but for now, nature calls. Coffee companion and bedtime snuggler (at his own paw-se)? Sounds like Grey has routines down pat. Silky fur is the best, isn't it? We're so glad Grey found his forever home with you. Give him a gentle ear scratch from us! ☕

My Russian blue male is the sweetest cat I've ever had ❤

[@maryhairy1]

I’ve had a grey kitten stray which I picked up on the road. (Although I’m not sure she would have been considered a Russian Blue?) She was full of cat flu & I never thought she would live as she was so ill. She was as you described extremely loyal & very affectionate. Loved cuddling.

[@russianbluecatfact]

It is adorable to hear that despite her health problems, you rescued a grey kitten from the side of the road. Whether or not she is a Russian Blue, she has undoubtedly found a warm and furry home with you. When provided with the right support and care, animals can exhibit incredible resilience. The close bond that has grown between you two is demonstrated by her love and dedication. Should you have any concerns regarding her health or well-being, please don't be afraid to ask her for advice. I wish you and your pet a lifetime of happiness!

My Russian blue died aged 12, 3 months ago. I'm finding it really hard to replace him there're soooo expensive now. Its sooo upsetting!!

[@russianbluecatfact]

I am so sorry to hear about your beloved Russian Blue. Losing a pet is incredibly difficult, and it sounds like you're still grieving their absence. Twelve years is a long and happy life for a cat, and it's clear how much they meant to you. There's no right or wrong timeframe for grieving, and it's perfectly understandable that you're not ready to replace your cat right now. The cost of Russian Blues can be high, and it's important to find a reputable breeder if you decide to go that route in the future.

[@MR-pr8tp]

Thinking of you.I write because I can relate to your grief. I lost my male about 15 months ago too and every day I miss him. He was 17 years old. Still hurts.He was so shy but so affectionate and I miss his head butts and wanting to be held. I still have my female and she just turned 18 a few weeks ago. They are truly unique cats.

[@Joyce-Mackey]

Interesting, I have a registered Russian- he is not the blue/grey! Listed as Apricot! Almost white undercoat, the outer shade is like a milk coffee colour.The rest of the litter were the known blue/grey colour. 😻

[@madeinussr7551]

They always have that : "go away , you are bothering me " look.

[@russianbluecatfact]

Russian Blue cats, like all cats, are prone to moments of wanting their own space and may even give off a "go away" or indifferent vibe. Since cats are independent creatures, their mood, amount of energy, and surroundings can all have an impact on how they behave. When your cat shows you these kinds of signals, you need to respect their boundaries and give them the room they require.

[@june2110]

[@Diggy22]

After watching Cats & Dogs, whenever I see a Russian Blue, all I hear is, "I think not, baby puppy. It is YOU who is in trouble." 😂

[@russianbluecatfact]

Haha, the mental soundtrack for Russian Blues has been forever altered! Now, whenever I encounter one, that ominous declaration plays in my mind. It adds a whole new level of drama to the feline presence. 🐾😂

[@AdamAdamski69]

I'm not an expert but I think some of the cats shown here are British Shorthair.

[@russianbluecatfact]

You've got a keen eye! While we're focused on Russian Blue cats, it's not uncommon for cat breeds to share some visual similarities. British Shorthairs, like Russian Blues, can have a plush coat and round face. It's always fascinating how different breeds can sometimes look alike. If you have any more questions or want to dive deeper into Russian Blue specifics, feel free to ask! 😺🐾

[@MR-pr8tp]

When I got my two Russian Blues- kittens, they would exhaust me with their energy and non stop mischief. I was selling my house and they knocked a lamp over when I was not there, and the bulb caught the bedspread on fire- well smoldering and luckily an agent was showing the house and I was contacted. My female: she went down a dryer vent, got stuck on a roof for 8 hours, hid at the vet's office only to be found 1 hour later behind some books in the vet's office. And there is more. I have always called her my problem child! But wouldn't have it any other way. And she got away during a move and was in the woods, coyote, bear rain, snow for 17 days and she finally came to me when I opened up a can of tuna, starving and skinny. She was so scared that she stayed in the woods within a mile radius. I almost lost my job because I couldn't stop crying, worried she would not make it. They are wonderful cats though.

I cant tell if i have a korat or a russian blue. He sheds alot, has a triangular shape face, very long, green brown eyes. He looks like a korat more tbh..but he has a white shine.

[@bettyboop3353]

Are there breeders that have only Russian Blue.

[@russianbluecatfact]

Indeed, some breeders focus exclusively on Russian Blue cats. A special cat breed called the Russian Blue stands out for its refined appearance, luxurious silver-blue fur, and fascinating green eyes. Breed standards, temperament, and health are top priorities for conscientious breeders. If you are considering getting a Russian Blue cat, search for a reputable breeder who will breed your cat welfare first. Look for breeders who perform health checks, care for their animals, and are honest about their breeding methods. Don't forget to consider adoption. Russian Blue cats in shelters or rescue groups may need a loving home. A cat needing a home isn't the only benefit of adopting from a shelter;.

[@madeinussr7551]

My russian blue is just a typical russian-- wants nothing to do with anyone , comes down for food and water and other than that acts like you are bothering it. After goes and hides in one of the beds. Im keeping it just cause its so soft.if you let it in the living room, it hides under the couch so good luck getting it out . If you like abusive relationships,its a catch! Lol

[@russianbluecatfact]

It sounds like your Russian Blue cat has quite an independent and reserved personality! Cats, including Russian Blues, are known for their unique temperaments, and each cat has its own preferences for social interactions. Some cats enjoy being more independent and may prefer solitude, while others are more social and affectionate. Your description of your cat's behavior, seeking food and water and then retreating to a hiding spot, is not uncommon. Some cats are more comfortable in their own space and may take time to warm up to social interactions. The softness of its fur must be a delightful bonus for you. If you enjoy observing your cat's independent nature and find comfort in its softness, it seems like you've found a good companion, even if it's not the most affectionate. Cats have a way of bringing their own charm to our lives, each in their own unique way!

Oh! All the Yellow, Mustard, and Copper colored eyed Blue Cats werren't Russian Blues, or, well, not fully. Blue Cats with copper colored eyes are more likely to be French Chartreuses. I myself rescued a Copper Eyed Blue Tuxedo Kitten, and, yes, he seems to have all those great characteristics this Video had talked about. So, yeah, if you see a Blue Cat or Kitten that nobody has claimed yet, well, grab its little butt and take it home, because it will likely work out really great for both you and the Blue Cat.

[@russianbluecatfact]

That you saved a Copper Eyed Blue Tuxedo Kitten is amazing! It is encouraging to learn about the positive experience you have had with your furry friend, as cats can make wonderful companions. We appreciate you sharing your experience and inspiring others to think about taking in stray Blue Cats or Kittens.

I don't understand why they're called 'blue'. That's gray. I don't even think blue-gray. I've always called them Russian Grey.

[@russianbluecatfact]

It's fascinating how individuals can perceive and name colors differently. The term "blue" in the context of cats may indeed seem counterintuitive, as it often refers to a diluted black color that appears more grayish. Your choice to call them "Russian Grey" reflects a personal interpretation and naming preference. It's a great example of how language and perception can vary, adding a unique touch to our understanding of colors and their names.
