    My Russain Blue is definitely a "shoulder cat" and he does things he knows he's not supposed to when he wants my attention. He gets me up at 7AM every morning to be fed. Rarely, he'll curl up on me when I'm laying down, but he hates being on my lap.

      You're lucky. My blue wakes me up at 6am, loudly demanding to be fed. He wont shut up until i do.

    We have a Russian Blue named Bailey. I wasn’t much into cats in general. He is my 4:30am alarm clock. The First time he came in, he laid down on my chest. I thought I was having a heart attack then the purring started. I knew I was ok. He is my bud!

      Sorry, a question: after the alarm clock asking for the food, can you go back to sleep or your cat doesn't let you go? Your answer is very important for me, thanks a lot in advance.

    My Russian blue is 100% A LAP CAT. Honestly she could spend the whole day on my lap if I let her. In the summer, she is upset that I don't put a blanket on my lap and just sits by me and stares angrily 'til it's night and I put something comfier on my legs lol bet she wouldn't mind if I gaine a couple pounds

    This is certainly a more accurate description of a Russian Blue. The only thing I can add (at least from experience with mine) is the look in their face/eyes. They exhude a "psycho killer" effect, with an uncertainty of their thoughts 🤣 like... "are you imagining slitting my throat right now?" But whole-heartedly an amazing breed. OH! Make sure you feed them on a plate due to over stimulation, esp their wiskers (any cat really). I rescued mine, AND a black Bombay at the same time, which is a phenomenal duo IF you want a companion for your Russian Blue.

    My cat, Sockie is obsessed with playing fetch with hair ties. Yes! She plays with water. We had to get the dispenser type of dishes. This is to keep her from spilling the dishes. Very picky about the litter box. Very intelligent and heavy weight. Like a Siamese. She barks like a dog sometimes. "Brrr-ap!" Also, she mimics human language and knows what the words mean. I can imagine the Romonovs being entertained by them. They probably had them trained for all sorts of tricks.

    Well my neighbour just left her cat 🐈 a whole month by herself , while she went on holiday ! The owner had someone pop in and feed her etc. Anyway she ended up camping out on my front door mat literally and never left. The cat is very similar to this breed but she has beautiful golden eyes. So I took her in and looked after her till it saw some sign her owner returned. I didn’t know anything about cats 🐈 never owned a cat or even looked after a cat . Always had dogs. But even I knew you can’t just abandon your pet like that for weeks. When the owner returned her cat didn’t want to go back home with her. The cat only recognised my house, she rubbed herself over every stick furniture in my place lol 😂 The owner was very angry 😡 her cat wouldn’t go home with her ! Like WTH 🤷‍♀️ It’s been said that the saddest truth about a lot of cat owners is that they don’t really know anything about cats and their behaviour, especially in this case, I of course did heaps of research to find out about behaviours, diet etc so I could give her the best care . The cat had 2 full weeks at my place and made herself very comfortable, sat on my lap a lot and spent a lot of her time on her back in the most amazing yoga positions sleeping lol like WOW 😳 When that owner returned she NEVER once came over to see her cat, not once to say hi and see how she was. I told the owner to come and collect her cat and keep her inside the house for a few days so she will hopefully recognise her former home. But no the owner couldn’t even be bothered doing that. I told the owner I could find a loving family for the cat, but no owner still wanted the cat. So now the cat is 95% on my property, not sure if she goes back to her owners house or not . The cat has a lovely nature, no scratching or biting. Playful with toys I got her. Only vocal dinner time. Enjoys being inside. I put her outside at night, she has a cat kennel for shelter by the door. She wakes me up after 6 every morning banging on the security door to be let in. Sometimes she stay on my bed with me . The owner told me that the cat used to sleep under the house . So that is my first experience with a cat !! All signs are that she is quite a happy and content cat presently. I don’t know how old she is but she has been fixed, thankfully 😅. I give her flea, worm tick treatments . Sorry long rant there, just had to get that out lol 😂

      My cat of almost 17 years; it was possibly the worst thing I've ever had to do in deciding it was time to put her down. It was several weeks ago, but it's still a very raw memory I'm trying to cope with. When my cat was young, I'd take her to the local animal hospital when I left on vacation. It must have been very traumatizing for her, for she quickly connected the sight of a suitcase with her going to the animal hospital and she'd run and hide at the sight of a suitcase forever more. For the last 3/4 of her life, I'd leave for up to a few weeks at time and leave her home alone. She had access to the outside via a kitty door and was always there when I returned. When I'd get back home, it would take her a couple days to return to normalcy once again. Between the two, I considered leaving her home alone vs boarding her as the lesser of two evils. If she could have talked, I believe she would have agreed. I loved my cat like she was my own child.

    My blue always wants to go outside, and he always does his business outside instead of the litter box which is so helpful 😅
    And whenever I get into the couch or onto my bed, he SPRINTS OVER to lay on me, sometimes choking me in the process. 😂
    I think my cat is very unique, and if we ever get another cat, no cat can replace him.
    Oh god I started crying when I wrote that
