    My Russian Blue was a wonderful companion and a perfect gentleman. Intelligent, loving, playful, sensitive to my needs, took to the lead and harness like a duck to water, travelled happily in the car, friendly with visitors and other cats (except one), good with dogs - a lovely, lovely cat. He passed away aged 15 and I miss him very much. A very special cat indeed.

    I had one, and he had more intelligence and better manners than half the people I know. I love all breeds, but for me this is the one that's the smartest and best friend.

    Smokey is a rescue cat, he lives with me now. A friend found him about seven year back. He had to be rehomed when friend and his wife moved to a small apartment.
    Smokey is afraid of men, my friend couldn't get near him, but he loved to snuggle with my friend's wife. I was the only man they ever saw Smokey greet and then let pet him.
    I pet-sat for him, and Lady their dog, while they did vacations. Although Smokey would still avoid me, he'd come out from hiding to eat while I was there as long as I didn't approach.
    Seven months living with him now and we're just now starting to break the ice.
    He hasn't allowed me to touch him since the day I brought him home but has come within a foot of an offered hand.
    In fact, for the first four months he hid in the basement (as he is now) and the only way I knew that he hadn't escaped the house is that his dish would empty and his deposits in the litter.
    I had to move his food and water near my chair just to force him to socialize. I'll look over and talk to him (here he is now) as he eats and he seem to tolerate that well.
    Then I'd start noticing that if I wasn't paying attention he'd suddenly be three feet from me staring at me, until I moved and then "The Shadow" would streak away. Then three minutes later he'd be nonchalantly sauntering back for more food.
    I haven't seen any mice this season. My guy is on the job.
    But now I know that we are partners. The other day I came home and he was sleeping on my bed.
    I think we are going to be OK.

    My Russian Blue x Tonkinese was the most beautiful boy inside & out. He was very intelligent & would devise interesting games to amuse himself including doing circuits of the kitchen on top of the cupboards & doors; and pulling a ball on elastic I attatched to the back of the chair to its full extent & letting it go, then trotting back to repeat again & again. He was far more inventive than any of my other cats & had a dry sense of humour. He LOVED tuna & grilled fish from the fish & chip shop & was very determined to get any but in a very polite manner, he was an absolute gentleman.
    He was also the best adoptive mother to two 3 week old kittens & took great care of them especially the runt who kept almost dying. Those kittens have just turned 15yo! Mishka lived to 13.5yo and is still sadly missed, he was a very special boy indeed. 😺💙🥰

    I had a cat with Russian Blue heritage. She had all the characteristics except for a long while dash under her neck. She just appeared in my living room one day. I suspect a breeder dropped her off in our neighborhood because she wasn't all grey. She was the best rescue cat I ever had. Affectionate, playful, a real gentle little lady.

    I had a mixed Russian Blue/Ragdoll. She had so many wonderful Russian Blue traits, like the coloring, the beautiful face, eyes, upturned mouth, intelligence, loyalty. But she also had the long, beautiful Ragdoll coat. She was so easy to train, walked with me on a harness and leash, and seemed to love to learn new tricks. She absolutely loved people, other cats, and had a few dog friends in the neighborhood. Best cat I've ever lived with!

    I had a Russian Blue cat years ago. And now I have another Russian blue (stray cat) I've been feeding since he was a kitten. He is very loving, so gentle, he is quite handsome indeed! His fur feels like velvet, and he loves to purr. I named him Boudine.

      I’m pretty sure she’s Siberian or Scandinavian bc she’s smaller, darker, and has a more “elegant” appearance than my other Russian blue

    Sweet, smart blue, Jerry, was rescued by me along with his companion, Ben. When I met them at the shelter, they were in the same cage and I knew they needed to be together. Jerry was the younger, and Ben had been there since he was young. As long as they were together, they were fine. But Jerry was healthier. When Ben passed, Jerry went with him not long after. I cried for a very long time after.

    What a good video. I especially like all the advice on proper maintenance, health care, and training. That will help new cat guardians to give the little fellows the best possible life.
    I really love Russian Blues, I have always wanted one. But no luck so far. I will never get a cat from a breeder, not with so many of the little sweeties living on the streets or in shelters, needing a home. Oh well, maybe one day I'll get lucky and can add a Russian Blue to the gang.

    I have a Russian Blue myself, and she's very talkative and very clingy. As soon as I sit down or lie down, she wants to get right on my lap immediately lol. Then will start kneading me for at least 10 minutes. But unlike what this video says, she doesn't like other cats and not very friendly with my other cat.
    How I found her: I kidnapped her LOL. About 10 years ago, she used to come visit my mom's backyard a lot. Did she have an owner, I don't know, but she would spend a lot of time roaming around my mom's house. I even had a friend living with my mom at the time, and she would secretly let that cat in from time to time. Then my mom moved out of that house, and about a couple months later, I came back to that house to ask the new owners if they were keeping her. When they told me they weren't, they allowed me to take her. And here she still is. lol

    Most people who have owned a solid grey domestic cat think there's is a Russian blue, however the majority aren't including a lot of these photos like 7:48 and 9:39, 10:59 etc. They never have white patches or longer fur.

    I have 2 adopted Russian Blues, mother (Mama Gillian) & daughter (Pyewacket). I call them my little house panthers! They exhibit all the wonderful qualities you mentioned. They keep this, now disabled, "cat lady" delightful, jolly company. I believe they really can sense when I'm having a "down" day & do everything to cheer me. I used to do rescue work & firmly believe in adopting, never shopping. Just discovered your channel, thanks for all the wonderful, useful info! Michelle & Kitties

    I suspect mine is a DSH who happens to resemble a RBC. Nevertheless, her fur gives off a subtle lavender hue when she's in the sun (which is often). Hence her name, Violet.

    When I had to bathe our Russian blue cat, (it got very dirty once in a garage) I used Dr Bronner's pure caslile liquid soap. It is organic, and the most gentle and non-toxic considering that the cat will lick itself.
    I highly recommend it. Don't use the peppermint, as the cat might find that scent too strong. (🌹I used rose 🌹 but could as easily have used🌸 Lavender 🌸)

    My boy is half blue half korat he looks just like a korat! Korats are gods says thailand ! I tell him hes a god which makes him happy! My boys sister died from the korat neuro paralysis disease so i must get my boy genetically tested! His temperment is korat! Hes jealous like a korat and doesnt like being alone! Very curious outgoing with strangers like korats! Hes very vocal! He doesnt tolerate other male cats! He follows me everywhere is very intelligent! Korats are gods says thailand so korats arent bred with other cats! Korats want variety in their diet! Since hes a preemie and korat he has obese issues! Hes not hypoallergenic! He has to have a special diet regular cat food he cant tolerate!he was abused so i got him unexpectedly when he was 6 weeks old! And got him for free!Korats dont tolerate vax well so hell remain indoors! Plus my neighbors have 5 dogs some arent cat friendly! Korats are rare so even half breed can be expensive to purchase! We literally saved each other!
