Description
Russian Blue
The Russian Blue cat is recognizable by his beautiful green eyes and a striking blue coat that has a lustrous sheen.
Personality
Russian Blues are known to be quiet, gentle, genteel cats, and are usually reserved or absent when strangers come to call. When theyre with their own beloved and trusted humans, however, they are playful and affectionate. Russian Blues are active but not overly so. They like nothing better than to spend time pouncing on a favorite toy or chasing sunbeams. They willingly entertain themselves, but prefer games in which their preferred people take an active role. When youre home, they follow you around, unobtrusive but ever-present companions.
Physical Attributes
Body
Fine boned, long, firm, and muscular; lithe and graceful in outline and carriage without being tubular in appearance.
Head
Smooth, medium wedge, neither long and tapering nor short and massive. Muzzle is blunt, and part of the total wedge, without exaggerated pinch or whisker break. Top of skull long and flat in profile, gently descending to slightly above the eyes, and continuing at a slight downward angle in a straight line to the tip of the nose. Medium in length. Length of top-head should be greater than length of nose. The face is broad across the eyes due to wide eyeset and thick fur. Muzzle smooth, flowing wedge without prominent whisker pads or whisker pinches. Neck long and slender, but appearing short due to thick fur and high placement of shoulder blades.
Ears
Rather large and wide at the base. Tips more pointed than rounded. The skin of the ears is thin and translucent, with little inside furnishing. The outside of the ear is scantily covered with short, very fine hair, with leather showing through. Set far apart, as much on the side as on the top of the head.
Eyes
Set wide apart. Aperture rounded in shape. Color vivid green.
Legs & Paws
Legs long and fine boned. Paws small, slightly rounded. Toes five in front and four behind.
Tail
Long, but in proportion to the body. Tapering from a moderately thick base.
Coat
Short, dense, fine, and plush. Double coat stands out from body due to density. It has a distinct soft and silky feel.
Color
Even bright blue throughout. Guard hairs distinctly silver-tipped giving the cat a silvery sheen or lustrous appearance. Free from tabby markings. Nose leather slate gray. Paw pads lavender, pink, or mauve. Eye color vivid green.
