Among the many breeds of cats there are several such that seemingly live side by side with the person always. And a vivid example of this - the cat breeds Russian blue.
Russian blue cat - the origin of the breed
Oddly, there are no reliable data on the origin of these cats. But the fact that their homeland is Russia , no one doubts. Catherine the Great herself was engaged in their cultivation. There were cats of this breed in Norway, and in Finland , in England they used to breed new breeds.
Russian blue cat - characteristics of the breed
First of all, it is worth noting the characteristic features of Russian blue cats - pronounced, prominent pads with a mustache and bright green eyes in adults. Among the other standards of the breed for Russian blue cats, the following characteristics of the exterior stand out: a wedge-shaped head with rather large, widely planted and pointed ears; the body is elongated, but neat; neck straight and long; individuals "tall on legs" with paws of round or oval shape; tail thin, mobile, pointed at tip; wool is short, soft and dense (another feature of the breed - wool and undercoat have the same length.) Therefore, the wool cover seems thicker than in representatives of other breeds of cats); color - uniform, deep gray shade.
The sizes of Russian blue vary from small to medium. And, of course, we can not say about the characteristics of the nature of representatives of this breed. These cats are active, curious and friendly, but at the same time self-sufficient - they are not annoying and perfectly tolerate a long absence of owners. To strangers in the house are wary. Very clever and freedom-loving - leaving a cat alone in the house, one should not limit the freedom of her movement, they like to "cajole" their territory. But do not worry that it will cause any damage - the Russian blue is so aristocratic that it will not allow itself to spoil furniture or wallpaper, scramble up the curtains, and moreover, a clean sweep.
