    I’m a Russian Blue cat mom. He’s very low maintenance, very independent, was never destructive, very affectionate and is a talker, especially when it’s time to eat. He cuddles with me every night and has been an emotional support.

      I have a female Russian blue, she never ever broke anything, she hates when things fall from a table for example. She thought us to fetch... We stay in front of a river, and she is busy all day because of the wildlife she sees from the window. We also have a Siamese cat, which sheds much more and is much more vocal.
      I would recommend a Russian Blue even to any dog person😅

      I'm going to look at another one tomorrow.. I know what to expect and already miss the routine and structure it provided. Awesome cats.
      I'll never own another breed.

    I adopted a Russian Blue last year at the age of 7. She was a Rescue from the Humane Society. She came with chronic respiratory problems and needs a puffer every 12 hours. At the beginning she was hiding for 2 weeks and came only out for food and the litter box. Now, she follows me everywhere sleeps in my bed, greets my friends at the door, but even with vet prescribed food I can't get her to loose weight. 🤔. I love her to bits and pieces and understand her wishes, her needs and she has trained me well. The best thing I did was adopting her ♥️

    • @sussybaka551
      @sussybaka551 2 роки тому +3

      The only way to get her weight, and hopefully health restored is to feed her a high quality diet she's designed to eat, on a strict schedule. Domestic cats are aggregate carnivores, just like their cousins in the wild. Pet food brands on the market are void of any nutritional value regardless of labelling. Check out Paws of Prey on YT. Hopefully your RB will live a long, happy, fulfilled life with you.

      I adopted mine at the humane society. They said "no one will adopt her" and I said "I will!" She was fostered because she was a momma cat too. I found out she had 2 boys and 2 girls. All were adopted. She appears to go looking for them and meows for them. I give her hugs and pets and she calms down. She is an amazing catto.

    For whatever reason, my russian blue LITERALLY TRAINS MY ENTIRE FAMILY TO BE WITH ME.
    She learned how to open the one door that is specific to my room.
    She always meows more loudly when my dad is home since he opens the door for her when she yells enough.
    Hell, she's recently learned that, by meowing like she wants to get out (but not going out), she just gets free pets from me!
    I love this damn cat! She's so absurdly smart, and uses that smartness to be the literal best cat I will ever have. She only does this with me, and usually gets most affectionate when I'm going to bed.

    I didn't know what a Russian Blue was until I rescued one from a vet 2 years ago. He is years old and is just simply precious. I'm home alone all day, so he keeps me company and is very loving and affectionate. I have had many cats in my lifetime....but nothing like this. We are on the same exact schedule and he sleeps at my head at night. I could go on.......but I'm sure most everyone in here knows what I'm talking about. I don't know what I would do without him.

      It's very sad when a cat does not return home. That happened once to me. Surprisingly, After about a year he returned. I couldn't recognize him anymore and he had become Ferrel. He fought feircely with my new male cat. But he kept trying to come home.
      The ferral BR was strong and aggressive to my new, mild BR cat. I finally had to decide between the two and I stopped feeding Mr. Ferrel. He finally stopped coming around. I hope he found a good home. 😔😔

    I had a female RB who lived for 18 years and 3 months while she was diagnosed with a bad disease when she was about 6 years. I took care of her so well that she did live still a very long time! Then when she passed, I got a boy this time and he was just 3 months old. He is the most affectionate cat I ever had but also the most mischievous one!!! He is worse than a 3 year old child!!! He follows me everywhere as well, and when you think he is sleeping, nope, he always keeps an eye open and as soon as I go to another room, here he is! He is unbelievably active, talkative, especially when we look at each other! So adorable! I can do whatever I want with him, but only me can do that. He will piss me off, scavenging from my desk, under the fridge, from anywhere and will start a party at 10 pm while I try to fall asleep and few minutes later, he will nurture in my arms, groom my face, the whole nine yards with the purring engine on and melt my heart! Geez, what a kitty! I would be able to write an entire 50 pages book about him!!!
    Later, my breeder gave me a little girl that was retired from the breeding program. She was already 4 years old. The adjustment has been very slow but now she let me take her in my arms and she comes to me to be pet and kissed. She loves knocking my face with her wet nose running her purring machine like crazy! She became very affectionate but again, only with me. Her temperament is very close to my first kitty at the difference she is extremely scared of anything! But she is a real sweetheart, and she is very calm and "mature".
    In terms of nutrition, the girl eats reasonably, but the boy always wants to eat. He loves popcorn, potato chips, all kind of stuff I don't want him to have and if I forget to put away a bag of those food, he will get his way to steal the food! I give them high quality food, for sure.
    They also both bring their favorite toy to where I am! And when the stick gets stuck in the door cat-trap, they both are crying! The boy has a specific voice that literally melts my heart, it is such a sweet voice, I can't describe with words how it sounds like but really, it is the sweetest voice I had ever heard!
    I love both of them equally and unconditionally. I wish I could post some pictures of both of them! They are both so adorable together! and both really beautiful. Everybody, vets included, say that they, especially the boy, are handsome and could win a beauty contest!

They all get the same treatment, fun, play, wrestling with each other and me, fresh meat and raw chicken. They are all wonderful. Ninja and Marvel are best buddies and tare up the house multiple times a day. So very exciting. Marvel is a hunter, he brings in live fish, frogs, birds, mice, shrews and slowworms. He then plays them to death and eats them. If only he would clean up the bird feathers 😩😝😆

He is hilarious, smart and loves his routines. He is a rescue, and will not empty his food bowl, but beckons us to pet him as he eats, and add food so he can never see the bottom of kibble mountain. He is a year old and very playful. He likes to be near us, but owns all the furniture in the house.

And then towards him. It was perfectly appropriate! Over our 20+ years together he became my best friend and my sweet jealous lover and after a horrible
      24 hours in which he tried to climb the stairs because he knew I was troubled over a dis-
      Agreement with a sub…he knew I was trying to communicate with this A A angry sub and he fell down the stairs and I tripped over him and he had two seizures and fearing he was in horrible pain I had a over the rainbow bridge come out and put him to sleep which I will never get over rethinking and missing him from.

He even played with his 3 dogs. He wants to be with me always. He's sweet, and he's not a lap cat, but loves to be carried around. He is with his second round of dogs now, but seemed to like the last three much two more (they were large breeds), and these are smaller ones. I think Russian Blues love their humans more than anything else.

    The Russian Blue is the most minimalist of all cats - the Muji or the iPod of the cat world, so to speak. An understated design with no unnecessary embellishments, it is a perfect fusion of form and function. It helps that it comes in only in one color: a very demure and muted grey. The Russian Blue is a what a cat would have looked like if Dieter Rams had designed a cat.

    I recieved a Russian Blue as a 3m kitten from family, he's an affectionate ball of energy that no matter how much play we give him; he still wants to do more and more. His energy reserves now at 6m have all but increased, we are still awaiting his baby teeth to fall out while he wants to teeth on everything but the teething toys, sticks, and other things we have gotten him. But when his reserves do calm down, he just wants cuddles and love. He also will also be vocal to the utmost highest degree when he is upset, whether it be the liter box, being in his carrier, or just bored. When we went to take him to get fixed, he was deemed the loudest and most disruptive cat within the clinic. His name is Ez and he is not easy.

    My Russian Blue is the world's busiest cat. He requires a minimum of at least 6hours of play each day. Often he will play for 12hours or more. He is the Tasmanian devil of cats. He is good natured and loves pets but he is way too busy and cannot sit still for very long. All affection must be on his terms. If he doesn't get 6hours of play, he chases his Nebelung sister and she gets mad. So our Russian Blue must be kept busy.

A friend that knew I was looking for a friend from my Siamese cat Jackson brought Grayson over. I can't wait to get them a kitty tree to climb on! Be sweet I tell them LOL they're still getting to know each other. Grayson is very affectionate towards me and he's getting used to my Jackson who's 5 months.

    I'm not sure but I think my Sterling is a Russian blue or mix. His appearance mostly fits the description except for the white patch he has on his chest. He's my little buddy he's so loving to the point where he's not only affectionate to his people but he cuddles my new Siamese kitten and grooms him to. He's playful towards all his brothers and he plays fetch with me. He's not very vocal that when he meows he has a soft quiet meow and the only issue I have is that I can't keep cat food out without him gorging on it she's become quite the fatty and I have to monitor how much he eats. He also Stark's me while I'm in the bathroom he likes to watch my business flush down the toilet or hang around when I'm in the shower he loves it when I sing to him and unlike my other cat's he is more welcoming when a new cat is in the home all in all he's my fun-loving little buddy I'm very loved by this family

    I have a Russian Blue cat and I can say he definitely likes to eat all the time. He acts like he doesn't get fed but that's simply not the case. I highly encourage any cat owner/parent to buy a food dispenser with a timer. The food dispenser feeds my cat at 6AM, 12PM, 6PM and 10 PM with equal portions of food. He gets these 4 meals spaced out during the course of a 24 hour period so he doesn't feel as hungry when I'm not home. He is a wonderful cat and loves to join me when I do my daily stretches. I built my cat a cat tower that is 2 ft L x 3 ft W x 6.5 ft high with wheels on the bottom that I can move around the house.

    I've never had a Russian Blue but I've had a couple cats before. And before I'll consider getting one again, or a dog either, I'd build an outdoor area first. An electric door that opens only to them, and a safe, fenced area, with a roof, to keep other animals out for safety. And it'd give them some nice, extra space. I'd want the outdoor area to be of a pretty good size too.

    I have the pleasure of having a Russian blue male cat he was given to me after he was found abandoned in 2016 & I have had many cats in my 53 yrs I would bring home every stray I found but this guy is extraordinary he is very social loves to greet everyone who comes to my house he understands 2 languages & responds accordingly I have an enclosed back yard where he is safe to roam & when I tell him to come upstairs in either greek or English he comes running!!!! & he does have his favorite people my elderly mom & myself but I also have 2 other rescued kitties 2 girls & he is a little jealous of them because mom shows them attention then he comes to me & he sleeps with me in our bed & he rubs his face in mine gives me nose kisses & loves to lay very close to me or even on me!!!! he does have a weight problem though & I dont know what to do he's probably 10 pounds overweight now but its difficult to curb his eating habits since I have the other 2 cats!!!! but he's my pride & joy I never had kids but he's my big baby he loves my desk chair so any time I leave my chair he will jump on it then when I get back I tell him to get down & he gives me a look & meows & I swear it sounds like he's saying no so we argue but when mom calls him he goes running problem solved!!!!!! & considering I am permanently disabled due to strokes & I'm home with mom 24/7 he knows & concentrates his snuggling on my left side my paralyzed side !!&hes the best therapy for my depression!!!!

    I have a Russian blue, and she is my baby. I gave birth to her myself. She has very high anxiety when me and my boyfriend leave, so I have to let her stay in my room to avoid accidents outside of the litter box. She is a big lover (only when she feels like it) and loves to bring me hair ties and her other favorite toys to get praised. She hides her toys in spots only she knows. She loves talking and has all kinds of songs she sings.

    Always thought that cats are cats, but Russians are unique and most traits described in many videos are bang on accurate, aside from needing to brush and succeptable to obesity. His coat is like a velvet plush, and his food dish is always stocked yet he is just sleek muscle. I think it's cheep for that makes them fat. Make sure you put some effort in for playtime or you might not get any sleep because those razer sharp claws will skate across the laminate and most definitely find that one bottle cap. Never once heard a hiss or growl, just little meows and chirps. Get the tallest tree and scratching post you can find cause they want to be the high ground, unfortunately that won't save that one spot on the carpet or corner of a chair that took a liking to along with specific spots he cannot walk by with out wiggling his ass? They got one favorite human which happens to be me at my home which irks my wife cause she loves him to bits too.

Had to be over a dozen kittens in the box. No mixed colors.... only solid gray with blue eyes, nose, paw pads and solid black with blue eyes, black nose and paw pads (a defining factor in authentic purebred without a DNA test of course). So... while purebred kittens are expensive (and puppies), you never know what you may find, or what may find you. In fact, everytime I would see a video of someone finding a stray kitten I would think "why doesn't that ever happen to me?".... low and behold, not one but TWO, that just so happen to be free 🤷‍♀️ found me.

I don't know what "turn my life around" means but every moment is an opportunity to start fulfilling your dreams. Maybe you're undecided or feel restricted by monetary circumstances or overwhelmed with the entirety of the process but what NO ONE has done, is found a magic genie lamp to achieve such.
