The Russian blue cat has many years of history from what it is now. Just so you know, Russian blue cats have nicknames, like Blues, Russians or any of the below names you are about to read. Blues are now considered one of the oldest breed of cats. Sailors first brought This cat from the Russian Seaport of Archangels to Britain as early as 1600. When this cat came to Britain, people started giving Russians many different names such as Archangels(since it came to America from the Russian Seaport of Archangels), Spanish blue, Maltese blue or British blue.The people of America finally decided to name this cat the Russian blue cat.
Like Blues many names, Russian also may come in several different colors at birth including brown, white, black tan or grey. Russian blue cats are a hardly breed of shorthaired cats known for its silvery seal-like luster. This cat has plenty of features that make it unique.

The Russian blue cat has several characteristics that describe the cat to make it special. For instance, they have a long, graceful body, are very fined-boned and lithe, and finally their heads are smooth. Blues have blunt muzzles on top of their head. Their ears are more pointed than rounded. Their ears are large, wide at the base, and are more pointed than rounded. Many Blues have long, tampering tails. Eyes of the Russian blue cat are large, with a solid medium shade of blue that has a slightish tint of silver sheen. They have short, fine, double plush fur, which is thought to be the most eye-catching feature of this cat. We people once believed that the Russian blue cat’s coat of fur can be as soft as a beaver or seal’s coat.Their fur of Russians should be blue, also should their paws. Lastly, Blues eyes are a emerald green to a vivid green. Only one kind of cat has these unique features, and that is the Russian blue cat.
