Russian Blue Cat: The winter spirit of the cat world. The Russian Blue cat is a naturally bred cat, not artificially bred. The Russian Blue cat has a slender body, big and straight ears, small and round feet, and walks as if on tiptoe.

1. Place of origin

The Russian Blue Cat, also known as the Russian Blue Cat, Akanji Blue Cat or Maltese Cat, originated from the White Sea coast of Russia or the Scandinavian region. Russian blue cats have a relatively long history, appearing before World War II. As a result of World War II, their numbers declined dramatically. In order to stabilize the breed's population, breeders later crossed Russian Blue cats with Siamese cats to give them the slim build of Siamese cats as well. As the earliest ancestors of the Russian Blue Cat originated in the cold Siberian region, many locals also refer to them as the aristocrat of short-haired breeds and winter elves.

2. Appearance

Russian Blue Cats are medium to large-sized cats with slender limbs. Their heads are smooth, their faces have a medium wedge shape and their eyes are almond shaped, they have emerald eyes and are very attractive. Due to their long history of living in cold regions, the Russian Blue cat has a short, thick coat, arguably the thickest of all short-haired cats. Their fur color is as blue as their name suggests, with a unique silver-blue sheen at the tips, like high-quality silver-blue velvet.

3. Personality

Russian Blue cats are naturally quiet and shy, very timid and shy. They have a gentle and sweet purr and love to be with their owners. They have a gentle personality and like to be quiet around, not doing behaviors such as destroying furniture or climbing at will.
