The elegant Russian Blue cat breed is most known for its shimmery blue-silver coat, bright green eyes, and sweet nature. They originated from the Archangel (Arkhangelsk) Island in Russia, where Russian czars and royals adored them.
From what we know, Russian Blue cats arrived in Great Britain and Northern Europe in the 1860s, thanks to sailors bringing them back from the Archangel port. Russian Blues have been around for a while and are a popular choice among families with children.

Meet the Russian Blue
If you’ve ever seen a Russian Blue cat, you’ve surely marvelled at their shimmery silvery-blue coat. This short-haired breed has a double coat, with the undercoat being soft and downy. The strands of hair found in the overcoat have silver tips, which produce this shimmering effect.
A Russian Blue’s coat is thick, plush, and feels soft to the touch. Their coat does not have any patterning, although as kittens, they may appear to have faint stripes, which will vanish as they get older.
Another interesting fact about Russian Blue kittens is that they are one of the few breeds not born with blue eyes. Instead, Russian Blue kittens will have yellow eyes with green rims. As they get older, these will slowly transition to a full vivid green shade.
Russian Blues are medium-size cats with an average weight. Males tend to be bigger, weighing 10 to 12 pounds when fully grown, compared to 7 to 10 pounds for females. They have a long, slender body with delicate bones but a muscular form. Moreover, their thick fur makes them appear more robust than they are.
Russian Blues get their elegant look from their faces, with a broad forehead, straight nose and large ears. In terms of looks, they are comparable to the blue-coated British Shorthair. However, one key difference is that this breed comes in various colours, whereas Russian Blues only come in one.
A Russian Blue’s temperament
Russian Blues have a charming and loving nature and enjoy following their owners around the house. Some Russian Blues may pick a “favourite” human, but they show affection to everyone in the home nonetheless.
They are a calm cat breed and demonstrate a favourable balance between social interactions and alone time. However, one thing to note about these gentle felines is that they are not the most confident or extroverted cats. They love to spend time with their family unit, but they will likely be shy around visitors or unfamiliar people.
As kittens, Russian Blues can be very playful. However, as they grow up, their energy levels decrease. However, because they are extremely intelligent, they still require regular physical and mental stimulation. To keep them satisfied, you’ll need to provide plenty of toys, including some challenging puzzle games to work their wise minds. They also have a strong hunting nature, so they love felt mice and feather birds on sticks that they can chase and catch.
Despite their gentle temperament and independence, Russian Blues can be very vocal. Their voice is undoubtedly their preferred way to communicate their needs to their owners. Therefore, whenever your Russian Blue is hungry or bored, you will know about it!
Be mindful of how much you feed your Russian Blue, too, as they are known to be big eaters and may ask for seconds. So you might have to be strict in portion sizes and treats to keep them at a healthy weight.
10 Reasons to add a Russian Blue to your family
- They will shower you with love - You will never feel deprived of love and affection with a Russian Blue in the home as they love to follow their owners around, greet them at the door, and curl up with them in bed.
- They behave very well - A Russian Blue will not create havoc in the home like some more energetic breeds and do not act needy either.
- They are good for people with allergies - Russian Blues don’t shed much, and they produce low levels of the Fel D1 that triggers allergic reactions, making them a good breed if you’re allergic.
- They require minimal grooming - You’ll only need to brush your Russian Blue’s coat once a week, along with brushing their teeth once or twice a week too.
- Genetic health problems are rare - Most Russian Blues don’t have many health issues throughout their life as they are not prone to any genetic illness or diseases.
- They mature slowly - Fully grown Russian Blue cats will be very relaxed and peaceful felines. But, while young, they will have a curious and playful nature. It takes 3 to 4 years for them to lose all their adolescent traits, so they stay kitten-like for a long time.
- They are very smart - Russian Blues are clever enough to learn tricks and be trained. They have an excellent memory, so teaching them does not take too long either.
- They are independent enough to stay home alone - Russian Blues appreciate alone time so you will have no problem leaving them alone when you go to work.
- They are sun worshippers - If you like to sunbathe, a Russian Blue will make your perfect companion. They often seek out the sunniest spots to lay in and adore the sensation of warmth on their fur.
- They are beautiful - Lastly, you cannot deny that a Russian Blue is aesthetically stunning and regal-like in looks and mannerism.
Best homes for Russian Blue cats
Russian Blues are reserved kitties who don’t adapt well to change. Because of this, they do best in quiet homes without many visitors coming and going. They are also a good option for cat owners who work out of the house as they will happily stay alone during the day. However, if this is the case, be sure to spend quality time with them in the evening.
Russian Blues can coexist well with other pets, including dogs. However, they will get along best with other cats with similar temperaments. They are also great around children, providing they play gently. They do startle easily, though, so they make a better feline companion for older children than younger ones.
