The Russian blue cat falls in love just by looking at it. It is impossible not to look at his powerful emerald eyes that contrast with a thick gray fur that gives him a stuffed appearance. His elegant and almost aristocratic gait and his slender and wiry body, ready for the hunt, do not go unnoticed either.
This domestic feline is very affectionate with his humans and loves to play. Of course, he is not one of those who surrender at the feet of strangers. He has a shy and distrustful character with people outside his circle, but it is a matter of time before he gains confidence and becomes your best friend, anticipating many of your moods. It is very sensitive!
Another of the most notable characteristics of Russian Blue is its great intelligence. Able to learn tricks , he is skilled at opening doors and windows, aspects that can be fun at first but will force us to take extra precautions to avoid accidents such as falls into the void.
This cat, whose origin is, according to some theories, in Arkhangelsk, a port in northern Russia, is extremely neat . If cats are naturally clean, you can get an idea of the level of Russian blue. What we mean by this is that not only should your feeder, drinker and tray not have even half a speck of dust or else you will not eat or drink from the bowls and will look for a better place to relieve yourself, but will require human being as clean as he is and that the house where he lives does not clash.
And speaking of houses, Russian blue does not require large dimensions to live happily . It adapts perfectly to small spaces, not to noisy or stressful environments. It is an animal of routines that, if we observe, carries out its daily activities at almost the same hours. They do not like surprises or the unexpected! It is also very quiet .
As for its diet, it is not particularly exquisite and, as always, we recommend consulting the veterinarian about the most appropriate option for each animal. What we do anticipate is that members of this breed tend to have a great appetite and, therefore, a certain risk of obesity.
