RUSSIAN BLUE CAT 101 - Watch This Before Getting One!

[@quest_yo]

I have a Russian blue and it's crazy how accurate this video is in describing their personalities, even the small details.

[@KIPalex]

I had a Russian blue named smoky, and i swear he was a stoner, he would chill with you ALL DAY. I miss him.

[@aleiothegameme6830]

EXACLY same with me, Its actualy so accurate

[@Vohlfied]

As it is with me. It was all true except playing fetch, and I don't know/don't have kids. I had a small black cat for almost four years; he didn't like her, and was better as soon as she died (squamous cell carcinomas). I dog-sat for a retired emotional support dog, and he got along with her just fine for a day, twice. Also, a day-and-a-half after watching this video, I taught Satsui to play fetch, so.. ..yeah. Pretty accurate ^^

[@catsdontmeowido]

My thoughts exactly! It was almost creepy how accurate this was 😂

[@MrMam16]

Ugh. I wish I was able to post a picture of mine. He came to us out of the woods. As a super small kitten. He has been with us for almost 9 years now. The intense green eyes, beautiful coat.. and the conversation they carry on with you is amazing. They are truly one of a kind❤️

[@isiriscasiano3719]

I love how they answer/comment with so many different fluctuations in their voices.

[@christinetaylor3378]

I started to feed the grey scrap that was left to her own devices in the neighborhood. I spotted her when quite young running around. She was ravenous, her owner was ill and nobody cared. When her owner passed away it was agreed by the family she be microchipped to me. Tilly has now morphed into a beautiful semi long haired Russian Blue, ie Nebelung, which I'd never heard of. She can be extremely gentle and affectionate but remains independent and prefers outside. I'm really working on it! Apart from her stunning looks she is extremely intelligent. Nebelung, I read somewhere meaning creature of the mist. The silvery tips to her coat are beautiful and has stunning green eyes.

[@lenningradgeneroso6066]

I actually cuddle with my Russian Blue. He's very sweet.

[@wifeoftheparty7107]

I do too, until he bites me.

[@shannon2748]

[@Fenrispro]

Im envious

[@isiriscasiano3719]

Some cats bite when being petted because it's too much stimulation. try just petting it on the head.

[@LaCabraAsada]

My russian blue lets me pick him up and cuddle with him, although he does scrarch me whenever I touch his paws

[@lunawyse]

I adopted a Russian blue and I'm never going back! I love him so much. He's loyal, sweet, independent. He loves to sleep in my loft bed. He also gets some with my dogs. He looked to lay beside me when I relax in my bed. I love giving him head scratches

[@Hollywoodxlover]

I lost my Russian Blue recently and this video is so bittersweet. He had the best personality of any cat I’ve ever owned. He wasn’t clingy, as in, he could be left alone, but he loved being in your lap and sleeping on your bed at night.

[@cait7140]

I had a Russian Blue growing up, he was a rescue and the sweetest boy 🥺 I miss him every day!

[@TheFixIsIn-fe1jy]

They do everything she said they do, and if you become the chosen one by a Russian Blue they will never leave you alone again, even when you shower or bathroom, make sure the doors locked because they can open doors like it's nothing. I suggest getting a Russian Blue for someone who has lost a spouse if they like cats, because theses cats will be front and center one on one attention. The cats won't bother other family member's with their needs, they pick that one person to take care of them. My cat is a lap cat, he can't wait for me to put the pillow on my lap. don't try to take them outside they hate it but love to set and watch from a big window. and yes they do make a lot of noise when you leave even if someone is home they will meow loudly for you. give them a high space because they love to watch everything you do. MY Russian Blue named Buster I've had for 9 years after my Husband died, and he really is a good therapist, and companion. And also they are not very agile because they are not sleek cats, they are more massive, they knock things down alot, and are more prone to be injured, so watch out for your kitty when he/she become bigger, and older.

[@serenaj3598]

Great video!! I got my Russian Blue cat at a Shelter when he was 4 months old. They listed him as “Grey Domestic”, I had no idea he was a Russian blue until I saw one that looked like him later. So I got a Russian blue for only $50!! He is extremely clingy and has definitely chosen me as that one person he connects to. He’s vocal, sweet, and cuddly. He definitely is a hunter, he likes to hide instead of climb, and he is very reserved around new things or people. He is EXTREMELY jealous though. He doesn’t even like me holding my pillow at night. Lol! He doesn’t like when any one else gets more attention from me. But that may just be him, idk. Lol I love him so much!!

[@debrakleid5752]

I have triplet Russian Blue sisters that someone was giving away when they were only 6 weeks old. I didn’t pay anything for them. I also have a black cat that we found at about 8 weeks old in the rain when I was working. My triplets are something else and they love to sit on you or next to you. Sometimes we may have only 1 with me or I may have all 3. Ash who is nicknamed “The Pink Demon” likes to sleep right next to me under the covers. She likes to be completely under them or maybe just have her head sticking out. I can fall asleep and when I wake up she is still there. They are all very very vocal also. They never bite except to nip on you. Phoenix bit me hard once because I accidentally stepped on her tail wearing my Danscos and those are shoes that mostly nurses and other healthcare workers wear and the sole is very thick and hard like clogs in Europe. I didn’t see her and she bit me so I would lift my foot up. Happened so fast. I felt awful for stepping on her. Smokey is the third one. They turn 6 in April.

when my mom died, my russian blue slept next to my head for a week straight.

[@JenniferJones-bo1rx]

About two months ago I was on my way to the laundromat and before I left the building with my pushcart I see a little nose poking through the broken exit door and then a paw and behold there was this sweet Gray kitten and I picked him up and brought him Home and he’s been with us ever since. I found out later that he was a Russian Blue Cat as I thought he was a British shorthair. I just love our New Cat. He’s my Best friend and I adore him. I truly truly believe the Heavenly Father wanted me to find him. He’s truly a Blessing to us. Thank You for your video. It’s Great 😊

[@FactsaboutCatsVideos]

Glad you liked the video :). And I'm super happy you saved the little kitty :)

this is exactly how my russian blue is and i’m her favorite in the family i adopted her from a shelter when she was 3 months old ❤️

[@guybrodudeman5972]

I dont own a russian blue but have lived with one for 2 1/2 years now that is owned by my roommate, and apparently has latched onto me as his favorite. Guy follows me everywhere and sleeps with me almost exactly like a stuffed animal with hugs and all everynight. My roommate has never fully gotten over it.

[@FactsaboutCatsVideos]

Haha you're soo lucky! :))

[@peterkubaska3118]

I thought I had a siberian gray, but now realize he is a short and dense fur Russian Blue. He is like a sensitive alarm clock and only wakes me when I've slept enough. He pets me to sleep at night kneading my neck and gently paws my eyes before a 10 minute cuddle and before sleeping on my feet to keep them warm. Mr. Grey has become like a very considerate and solicitous human and likes to eat at the same time, so extremely polite that it embarrasses me. And he is happy to take me to task with his eyes if I am out of line. Definitely my best pal ever!

[@B3_H0N3ST]

Wow, me and my family live in an apartment right now. This sounds like the perfect breed.

[@mothmantra6289]

I love all cats and have had many in my life, but for me the Russian Blue is a very dear breed, because I've had one choose me as their human, and that sort of bond is impossible to explain tbh. I was the only one in the house he liked, I was the only one who could pick him up and hear him purr, and it was me he gravitated towards when he wanted something. I'll always remember how he'd greet me with a meow every morning to sit beside me while I ate breakfast and came home after a few days away in the woods to greet me when I called for him. RIP Lulu, I'll love you till the end my boy 💞

[@onlyinmiamiflorida5973]

I'm 15 and my favourite cat breed is Russian blue cat, I wanna have one in the future cuz of their personality and look. My family owns a dog and my dad doesn't want to see a cat in house, he told me that I can get one when I move out. So one of my goals in life is getting Russian blue cat.

[@liveyouryoga]

Perfect! To a T! My cat is a Russian blue mixed with something else. I adopted her and everything you say is true. She has those to die for eyes and permanent smile . Precious!! Not a lap cat but cuddles near me just the same. She has a medium length coat, and I groom her nearly every day as she loves it. She can be quite talkative. She is not clingy but we share a strong bond. I am her BFF or more like her OPW. I am only finding this out now about her after watching Cats 101! She is 14 years old! I had her since she was 1 year old, and she behaved like a kitten for quite some time. Adorable!

[@sirpa07]

Hi! The personality you described matches perfectly on the grey tall cat with greenblue eyes and silky soft coat that I have been feeding for some years outside. I never knew he was a russian blue at the start. He is the cat that needs to see the view from shelfs at first. A calm cat that don’t like to be lifted up. He loves to look into your eyes and is friendly. Intelligent definetly. Not fighting with other cat’s. He rather takes some steps back but protects if needed. The coat is really the finest and most soft I have ever seen in any cat. His first owner didn’t know what beauty and special cat they got. The cat left his first home and found the people he liked. He visits me everyday for food and some sleep. He has a home also at my neighbour who gives him good care.

I have a Russian blue that I got 3 years ago that I raised as a 1 month old kitten, his name is Orion. We pretty much saved him because the shelter he was at was really bad, and he had ticks and fleas. We cleaned him up and he stayed in my room for a while away from our other animals. I remember the first night we had him I made him a little bed, but when I went to lay down he just followed me instead and curled up in a little ball next to my face. Now he is grown up and he still tries to sit on my shoulders like he would when he was small 😂, he loves to be carried around like a baby and he will always respond with a meow whenever I say hello to him after being gone for a while. If you are looking to get a Russian blue, I couldn’t recommend it enough Also my cat was like $100 when we got him, and he’s never had any problems since we took him in from the shelter, says a lot about the shelter we got him from I think

Awesome video! There were things in here I didn't find while doing prior research. I've been wanting to get a cat ever since I moved out of my parents' home. I didn't have any stable living situations until now, so I did some research on which cats would suit my lifestyle the best. My partner is mildly allergic to cats, so we both opted for a Russian Blue. We finally found a great breeder and our kitten is coming home with us just in time for Christmas. The last part about them being perfect for people who work all day, are more independent, are allergic, and are lazy basically describes us to the point. We both know we will enjoy putting more time and effort into caring for our cat and are so happy that this is the breed we chose.

I just got a Russian Blue. About a month ago, I got a call to pick up an emergency foster who was rescued from a house fire. She's a sweetheart and so soft and plushy! Needless to say, she became a foster fail. She's very smart, but shy like the video said (that likely also has to do with trauma from the fire). She's had a few issues settling in with our other cats, but she's a delight to have!

He's been around both kids since they were born. He's amazing. He's getting old now. Almost 9 but still very active and playful. I'm gonna really miss him when it's his time.

I would guess that she was about 1 year old. After 30 minutes she walked down the steps and turned left. After about 20 minutes she jumped up behind a plant pot that was behind me to my right and then jumped into my lap. She had walked all the way round the block to perform a mock execution on me. Thinking about her makes me laugh to this day. She stayed with me until about 4am. I never saw her again. I feel priviliged to of spent time with her while she was out hunting during the night. All the best.

I adopted an older cat and am pretty sure she’s a Russian blue. She looks like all the cats in the video (like exactly) and has the exact same personality. It’s a very fun personality for a cat owner that does not need to be cuddled.

Wow this video has tought me so much I had no clue about some of the things you talked about, my daughter's grandmother has a female cat that had kittens and she was trying to find homes for them, I ended up taking 2 of them, a boy and a girl, they were already fixed and had all their shots, when I saw them all I could think was how beautiful they are and soft! We've had them for almost a year now and we are all so attached to them, they are so sweet, I had no idea till last week that they were Russian Blue's, it explains so much! They are very spoiled in our house and they both like to cuddle

Thanks for sharing and also, I'm glad the video helped 😁

My Russian Blue reads my mind and understands what I say, other people note this about him. He is eleven, he has always flipped light switches on/off, opens doors, and takes screens out of windows and so on. He also rejects knickknacks he doesn't care for onto the floor. He adores miniatures and cuddles select ones. If another moving creature is around, he challenges it and plays with it to death.

I just saw a Jackson Galaxy video on KZbin that was about cats throwing things off of shelves, etc. He said they do it because they're bored & need the owner to engage it in play more often.

My Russian blue is 1 year old Male. A 6 week old kitten was abandoned in a bush behind my home. I took it in and my Russian Blue his name is ROCKY LOL....he immediately started to grooming him and cuddled up with him. The kitten was a bengal cat. It was soooo cute and amazing because they were both orphaned. They love to play with each other.

[@isiriscasiano3719]

[@FactsaboutCatsVideos]

[@nicolebahuaud4756]

I am now on my 3rd RB. First one opened all closed doors. Also, 11 PM was apparently my bed time cuz off went the lights. And we traveled by motorhome all Summers. I leash train my cats.

[@studywithed5166]

My Russian Blue likes to go outside, he is very Smart. I really love him 🐈‍⬛

[@sam-koudriavtsev-piano-key4559]

Thank you for a thoughtful overview of RB breed. I am sharing a note about my cat. Years ago we had a Russian Blue named Musya. She got lost before we moved to the United States - I think someone took her. Musya was an extremely intelligent, observant, and moderately active cat. She liked to play fetch and enjoyed climbing on the shelves and spending time on the tree & observing surroundings. She occasionally caught small rodents and birds. We let her outside for a few hours. She always returned and stuck to a routine. She did not mind children but acted carefully and did not let people mess with her. Musya loved my father the most but showed some affection to the whole family. She let family members pet her and enjoyed our company. We fed her with a consistent schedule. Musya slept near me or near my father. Briefly on interactions with other animals. She occasionally attacked other cats & stayed away from dogs & but learned to adopt and to stay safe. Musya was careful with strangers. I love our cat and hope she was in good hands when someone took her.

[@sam-koudriavtsev-piano-key4559]

Timing details: We got Musya when she was 8 weeks old and she lived with us for 4.5 years.

[@2011kokonet]

I have one, and his personality is like you said in the video. He is not too much affectionate but I love him a lot, I know he loves me back

[@callen1622]

my russian blue is a outdoor cat he does not kill animals but some times the mice will bother him so he will kill them . Other than that my russian blue is supper loving and affectionate he comes inside sometimes, he does not meow unless hungry he hate's heights and loves to sleep under the covers not on top he also only likes me and my sister and when new people come and meet him well let's just say they will not want to pet him ever again.I love Russian Blue cats and you people should get one if looking to get a cat you will not regret it.

[@FactsaboutCatsVideos]

Thanks for sharing, very interesting information 😁 by the way, are you sure he's 100% russian blue? (from a cattery) Anyways, he sounds super awesome 😀

[@BeckyIntheKitchen]

I love my Russian Blue! 🥰

[@Vohlfied]

This video is pretty accurate! For us, it was all true except playing fetch, and I don't know/don't have kids. I also had a small black cat for almost four years; he didn't like her, and was better as soon as she died (squamous cell carcinomas). I dog-sat for a retired emotional support dog, and he got along with her just fine for a day, twice. Also, a day-and-a-half after watching this video, I taught Satsui to play fetch. He turned six this month!

[@Flies2FLL]

My experience with these cats is that they DO NOT LIKE ANY SORT OF CHANGE. They want a stable home life. Day to day events, people going in and out of the house is fine. But if you have a visitor, they will hide in one of your kitchen cabinets. But they are totally mellow; I found my brother's Russian blue sleeping beneath a bed; I grabbed him and pulled him across the carpet and he didn't care a bit. These are very gentle cats, but they get BIG, like 20 pounds. They have "double fur" or two different hair sizes, one very small and another very large, different from other cats. Overall I recommend these animals because they are so easy to live with.

[@isiriscasiano3719]

Many cats have a double fur. The Russian Blue, though, has a very thick undercoat. Many more hairs pee square in than a domestic shorthair or even a Persian.

[@karynwallace8556]

Well I ended up with the neighbours Russia Blue after the owner went off on holiday for 6 weeks. Just left her cat by herself with someone popping in to feed. I had seen the cat before, she would often come over to say hello and watch me working outside. I didn’t know the owner had left. All of a sudden this cat started camping out on my front door mat every day. I could tell looking next door that no one was there and were away. So I took the cat in for over 2 weeks and cared for her till whenever the owner came back home which she did. Well because she had literally left her cat for so long, the cat decided I was her new owner and that was that. The owner never come over to see her cat, nothing. I told her to get her cat and keep it inside the house for a few days so the cat could recognise it’s former home. But no the owner wouldn’t even do that. I said I could re home the cat. But owner still wanted her. Anyway this all happened late November last year. I haven’t been able to break the bond formed after the 2 weeks I looked after. Must have looked after her too well lol 😂 cuz she adopted me and stays at my place. I don’t think of her belonging to me, I’m like auntie ! Tried not feeding her but didn’t make a difference. She has a lovely personality. Not scratching or biting. Don’t know how old she is. She has been fixed thankfully 😅 She only vocal at food time. Follows me around inside and outside. Rubbed herself on piece of furniture in my house lol 😂 Likes being on my lap to be petted at times and on my bed . I put her out at night time. She has a cat house for shelter etc. I’ve had to do a lot of research as I’ve never had a cat let alone looked after one. Very different from dogs. So presently the cat is very happy and content, not sure 🤔 if she goes home over the fence at all ! I don’t know what will happen with this cat, her owner could sell up and move, maybe taking her cat with her. I just don’t know. So it’s just on a day to day basis.

[@erikaandelise3677]

I own a Russian Blue and his name is Divo,very smart and loving 😸

[@brandondennison1443]

I just rescued one and we named him Memphis and he is by far the best animal I've ever had

[@victorrotciv8859]

Divo means mirracle from russian.

[@reginaheineman564]

I think my cat is Russia blue she has the softest fur and definitely doesn't like people she doesn't know will hiss at them and run from them

[@michaelyates1179]

We have a Russian blue cat named Loki and he is the best cat ever

[@blacktigerorganization]

I have a russia born from a silver egyptian mau mother.he was the only grey cat cat in a litter of 7 cats he has all the traits and looks since he was grey and when he was like a month he looked like a werewolf so I Named him WOLF and he is my one and only

[@therookie9276]

i just got a russian blue and he was really scared at first, but he’s going good now and comfortably sleeps on me and he NEVER meows

[@TheRoyalDynasty]

It’s crazy. My Russian Blue cat loves the outdoors. He’s a pretty lazy cat though who loves to lounge around. At first he didn’t like my dog now they are inseparable. He loves playing with my dogs and cats. Very sociable. Never runs from meeting new people or animals. He’s definitely a lap cat when he wants to be. He does great by himself but also with children he is great. My sister has a newborn and he’s been inseparable from the baby ever since she got pregnant.

[@Shawnwheaton]

My Russian blue is the opposite of everything. He lives meeting new people and is indoor/outdoor. And he loves cuddling and being held.

[@catmom2526]

My Russian blue Boris is so sweet, friendly

[@FactsaboutCatsVideos]

Glad to hear that
