Russian Blue

Felis catus

✨ Fun Fact

Russian Blues are sometimes called 'Archangel cats' after the Russian port where they were first shipped to Europe — and sailors believed they brought good luck on voyages.

A naturally occurring breed with a striking blue-grey double coat that shimmers with silver tips. Emerald green eyes, a wedge-shaped head, and a graceful, fine-boned body. Shy with strangers but deeply devoted to their chosen people.
