About Russian Blue

The Russian Blue is a naturally occurring breed known for its striking silver-blue coat and vivid green eyes. These elegant cats are gentle and somewhat shy with strangers but form deep bonds with their chosen people. They are quiet, clean, and highly intelligent — often learning to open doors and fetch toys. Their dense double coat has a unique plush texture and shimmers with silver-tipped guard hairs.
