My wife and I just recently lost our 16 year old pure Russian blue and we haven't stopped crying yet. His name was fiddy and he was the most beautiful and best cat we have ever owned. We are looking for another Russian blue now..

[@1015katie]

I'm sorry for your loss 😢

[@rampantcolt]

My wife got me a blue and he doesn’t shut up😂 I love my Nipsey. He is me trapped in a cats body.

[@gussysanchez5246]

Fk Eduardo and Garcia. So why they clowning in Bluffton and Florida

[@davidepannone6021]

Childhood friend had one. To this day, one of my most cherished moments with a cat I ever had. He was lovely and always ran up to me to greet me and get petted. One of the most gentle cat I've ever been around 😊

[@russward2612]

My parents had a Russian blue cat from 1984 to his passing in 1998. He was a demon mouser. His name was Pooter. He was a great cat and I still miss him after all these years. 🐈‍⬛👑✌️🖖

[@amnbvcxz8650]

They have a very different fur texture than other cats. Short softest fur, that feels like a plushy toy with an addition of a silky feeling

[@janewasson4845]

I have one of these furbags! They truly dont shed much, are independent, love times of affection and play, then, they're done. Off to privacy and a nap. Theyre also very smart, and learn quickly. If you get one, get involved, interactive toys, and make a "find it" game when giving treats. If you have a single cat, be sure to provide a lot of interesting things to do in your absence. A scratching post and cat tree are also wise choices. The only downsides: Keep an eye on their teeth, anal glands, and digestion. Monitor these, keep ahead of any problems, and you should be fine. Dont smoke anything, use air fresheners, oils, incense or wax cubes. Their respiratory systems are touchy. If you live in a cold climate, a thermal pad is a good idea-they tend to get cold. Overall, a smart, affectionate, funny companion, who talks, but doesn't yowl, and when they want you, they want you NOW! 🐱

Ours is a mix with a touch of calico. I am russian- Ukrainian and we take a while to let ppl in.but we love with our hearts. This cat is the same. Lol She ll spend a bit of time but not much. She ll talk to me but then she is done. She ll sleep on my daughter's legs but don't touch her! So weird. She is Russian lol . My hubby brought a tabby calico and she is so loving! If you leave the room she ll scream and run for you. Just makes me realize how independent Blue is lol .

[@oldfogey4679]

My boy despite early abuse was never shy! He prefers constant attention and talks a lot! They love to jump and climb!

[@KingKhufu14]

Pay attention to your cats. Especially these ones and you will have an amazing bond. I didnt have a phone for 2 years. Best 2 years of my life. With the start of my bond with my cat. Take the time away from things that dont matter. Pay attention to your cats.

[@dcmarquez3816]

My blue is really beautiful, affectionate and smart, he has been with me since he was three weeks old and in August he will turn twelve years old. I believe this breed would be a good pet for a single adult. 👩🏻

[@twocathome399]

got my wife one for xmas, they are so soft and loving.

[@criticalthinker4292]

LOVE our Russin Blue ! He is 13 . Named him Spanky. He was found in a taped up box on the side of a highway ....only 5 weeks old. Fed him goat milk from a doll bottle. He grew wonderfully healthy. Smart, and so much fun to have around! We hope to have him for many years to come! Thanks for the great video on his heritage! Rob and Deb in AZ....USA

[@Cat_Nation]

Oh wow! Spanky must be so lucky to have been raised by you two. Thanks for the kind words!

[@charitydoornbos264]

My Blu has CH and has several obstacles in life so far. I love him to peices. I think he acts like a puppy. He follows us around during the day and sleeps the entire night on our bed. Fur is low maintenance. He is quiet. He is an aggressive eater. I love on him often but he'd prefer I cut back. He does seem really shy around strangers!

[@GeneralBurHan]

Shadow and his father were the best Russian blues. Leroy who is shadows grandson and Hugo’s great grandson is a gentleman. May Allah bless all cats especially Russian blues

My Russian blue doesn’t rly like playing but she LOVES snuggling me, and me alone. I would definitely describe her as clingy on occasion. She doesn’t seem to have a lot of predatory behavior or tendencies, she’s bored and disinterested when I dangle cat toys and would rather just chill in her little shelf, sleeping on the blanket i knitted for her. She knows how to manipulate you into cuddling her too so she’s very smart (she curls herself into a tight ball, rubs her head on the ground like she’s trying to pet herself, looks directly in your eyes and softly meows. You can’t not pet her it’s too precious). And if you don’t cuddle or pet her for an adequate amount of time she get mad.

[@wmp3346]

Some how I believe we got lucky and have a Russian Blue. Oslo is a very nice boy. He likes to go out and hunt.

[@Pootycat8359]

Note: ALL kittens are born with blue eyes. It takes a while for pigment to accumulate there.

[@jessicapomeroy5283]

I have one of these beautiful cats, named Cosmo. He’s not purebred but there are certain things I’ve noticed with him that we’re not common in my other cats. First of all he doesn’t purr but loves cuddling to an extent. I also play fetch with him and he loves it! I’ve never had a cat that will play fetch. He’s a year old and so much fun!! Thanks for the great video!

[@oldfogey4679]

My boys half Russian blue half korat! He looks acts just like a korat! While some of his late siblings looked acted like blues!

My blue Louie is obsessed with me.. A family member found him and idk he just acts different with me.

[@mohammedcohen]

...my late wife & I rescued a stray that seemed to be a Russian Blue/angora mix (long hair & yellow-green eyes) had him for prolly 15 or 16 years until earlier this year...he was extremely affectionate - more dog like in that way - loved to snuggle with his daddy - and sneak out when I let the dogs out in the evening...I miss the little bugger...

How much does these fur baby's cost?

[@Cat_Nation]

A purebred Russian Blue usually costs around $400-$600. This of course depends on your location and breeder. I mentioned this in the video @ 09:14!

[@robertgran5535]

I paid $2000 for my TICA Certified RB.. worth every penny

[@Lee.Willcox]

In England upwards of £2000.00. I got mine for free when I adopted him not realising how massive he would become. Marvel is 18 months old and already 8kgs with what the cat clinic tells me....... More time to grow 🤦‍♂ 😆 He is wonderful and this video says it all 100%. So glad I came across you all, just lovely.

[@sarahuterer312]

Is it okay to play accordion near them, I don't play it so much (rarely)?

[@catzenhouse]

$400-$600 to purchase one? Not anymore - twenty plus years ago, yes. Not today (2024). Add another 1400-1600 dollars for a pet quality purebred (not for show).

[@christineribone9351]

If 2 RB's have babies they would be RB. But if a RB mated with a different breed they would have mutts??

[@nonamedontcare9695]

Why its considered BLUE when it's ACTUALLY GREY.

[@oldfogey4679]

Korats are God's u don't breed them with other cats purposefully that's why korats are so rare!

[@peterd6732]

Our Russian Blue, named Bailey, is the best cat ever! I wasn’t into cats but this cat is awesome! No, really, he’s awesome! The only warning I can give people over 60 is if you’re laying on your back in bed and you feel a pressure on your chest, it’s probably your Russian Blue sitting on you wanting to be fed in the early morning. Once you hear the purring then you’ll know it’s not a heart attack.
