Just wanted to share some love for our two beautiful Russian Blues, Vika and Misha! 💙🐾 (with their brothers Vasya and Motya)

We're completely obsessed with all of them. They bring so much happiness, laughter, and love into our home. Can't imagine life without them! 🥰

Our sweet girl, almost 6 months old. We picked her up about 3 weeks ago and she’s really come out of her shell. The sweetest little personality!

I don’t remember adding this to my cart

I’ll start. Mine is 1.5yrs! Time flies!

Took him at 4 months old some weeks ago, it’s the best cat ever!
For those who hesitate about getting a Russian Blue - don’t!

Or maybe singing?! 😅

Hello,

Im strongly cosidering getting a cat, after some research i think a russian blue would be the best fit for my circumstances.

I live alone in a ~90square meter home with a ~36 square meter garden. I not home for ~9/10 hours each day because of work.

Would this suit a russian blue? ive read that theyre very independed so i hope they wont mind being alone for that long provided they have plenty of toys and a nice spot to nap.

I also read this breed doesnt shed alot of hairs, is that true?

I hope some of you can help me to better decide if this breed would be a good fit for me!

This is Neville (Longbottom). Still camera shy and timid, but managed to get a few snaps without stressing him out. I can’t wait to see who he is when he opens up!

Could you please describe your RB cat's character? We're thinking of getting one and I understand that the breed can't guarantee a certain character trait in a cat for sure, but there are some commonly described features which are setting the expectations, and I'd really appreciate some reality check from the owners.

For example:

- Does your cat come and sit on your lap voluntarily, or is it more of a “sit beside you” cat?

- Reaction to guests - does it hide for hours or eventually socialize?

- Can it stay alone through a normal working day without obvious distress or behavioral problems? How does it handle longer owner's absences?

- How affectionate is it when you aren't feeding it or holding treats? Does it actively seek contact?

- What are the disadvantages that you didn't expect before getting one? Or what would you like to be different?
- Which were the problems you faced?

Would appreciate an honest and critical view, no sugarcoating :). Your cat won't be reading the post.

My coworker is being generally unhelpful this morning. I’m going to recommended additional training.

I don’t want to have him written up, but he has spent most of our time together this morning searching for the twist tie I had to put underneath my keyboard after chasing him down and recovering it from him, 5 minutes into our shift. (See said twist tie circled in image 4). And he is on it like a dog with a bone!

Maybe he had a little too much gravy in his breakfast. Dude is all over the place this morning. He’s even run off with envelopes off my desk. Unprecedented behavior.

Anybody else’s coworker having a strange case of the Fridays? 🥴

Are there any reputable catterys near Philly? We are looking for one or possibly 2 Russian Blues as we head into retirement. Price varies wildly, so we are in the research phase due to other comments on this site. Not looking for a show cat but also concerned about health and socialization. Not opposed to a long drive to pick them up. Probably not a flight. Any info is appreciated.

Our Russian Blue Aloonov jumped onto the back of the couch and insta napped. Cookie our Devon Rex was extremely insulted by this. 😂

Hi, as the title says I’m allergic to cats, have been my whole life, but I really do want one. I’m aware theres no cat that’s 100% hypoallergenic andI have an appointment with an allergist to see if allergy shots are a step I can take. If so I’m looking into getting a Russian blue. I’ve done my research and have enough space and time and money on my hands for one but I wanted to hear from people who are in the same boat as me. Are they generally good for people who are allergic to cats.

I adopted my first cat yesterday, a beautiful Russian Blue who has adapted surprisingly quickly. She was a little scared at first, but very soon started playing and sleeping near us.

My husband is allergic to cats. He didn’t have any reaction when we visited the breeder, but since she arrived at our home, he’s been experiencing symptoms, mainly sneezing and nasal congestion. Ido feel like his reaction is milder than it usually is around other cats, though, because he would normally also get very red, itchy eyes, which hasn’t happened so far.

She is not allowed in our bedroom at all.

I know every person and every cat is different, but I was wondering if anyone here initially had allergy symptoms after getting a cat that eventually improved or even disappeared over time? If so, how long did it take?

Also, what measures have actually helped you manage cat allergies at home?

We’re planning to get an air purifier, and I’m also considering trying Purina Pro Plan LiveClear.

Thanks!

I just wanted to share my crazy boy who has way too much energy and is constantly yapping at us. He is constantly moving and literally can’t sit still even when he wants to cuddle and sleeps on my lap he can barely make it for 5-10 mins max and then just jumps off again to do something weird, funny or something he is not supposed to do (such as jumping on some areas in the apartment). I always say he has severe ADHD even if it doesn’t exist for cats.

As i am writing this post i am leaned against the couch and he decided to sit on my hair and snuggle against my head but which he loves to do!

Oh and he has a cat wheel and furiously uses it every day in the evening. It is soooo exhausting at times especially when we both need to work but we still love him so much!

And at the same time i would love to know if there are other russian blue kitties with super hyperactivity out there or if he is just a bit special. 🤣
