What do Russian blue cats look like?
The northern city of Arkhangelsk is considered the birthplace of this breed. It was from there that, at the end of the 19th century, an English breeder took out a couple of animals, which are believed to have marked the beginning of breeding. During wartime in the first half of the 20th century, the breed was almost on the verge of extinction. Crossing with Siamese and other cats helped save her.

Russian Blue cats are medium-sized animals. The body is graceful, but at the same time strong and quite muscular. The tail is long. The head is not too large, proportional to the size of the body. The eyes are large and oval, green, and the color is finally established by the end of the first year of life.
The coat of the breed is short, dense, silky and almost plush to the touch. The axial hair in it is approximately the same length as the undercoat. The color is uniform gray-blue with a silver tint.
