Russian Blues

I'm so excited to talk about this week's breed, Russian Blues! Russian Blues live a long time, 15-20 years, and do not shed as much as other cats due to their short coat. Although there coat is short, it is very dense which makes them appear bigger than they actually are. This breed has very little coat pattern variation unlike other breeds I have previously talked about. Their eyes are almost always green. . Their coat density keeps them warm in Russian winters. They're called Russian Blues due to their blue-gray coat and, as the name implies, this breed originates from Russia. More specifically, Russian Blues are from the port of Arkhangel'sk in Russia meaning that they are also somethings called Archangel Blues or Archangel cats. In pop culture, the meme Nyan Cat is a Russian Blue.
