What are Russian Blue cats like?
Russian Blue cats are renowned for their intelligence, playfulness, and high energy. They are affectionate and loyal to their owners, although they can be shy around strangers. Russian Blues are highly adaptable to other pets and enjoy the company of other cats. However, they may prefer the company of their own breed.
It’s worth noting that Russian Blues don’t like being left alone for extended periods. They typically weigh between 8 and 12 pounds and can grow up to 17 inches in length. These cats have a sleek, shimmering blue-gray coat that’s short and plush to the touch. When purchasing a Russian Blue, registered breeders will have kittens for sale in shades of silver, blue, and black.

I have had two interests since I was very young… the Internet and cats. I grew up with two lovely cats in my family, Midnight and Chloe. But when I started looking for a cat as an adult, I realized how few reliable resources there are for finding ethical breeders. So I combined my Internet skills and cat knowledge to create Cat Kingpin, the #1 resource for cat breeders online. Have a question or suggestion for my list? You can reach me here.
