Unpretentious breed of cat: Russian blue

When choosing a pet, many attach great importance to such a factor as the breed of a cat. Russian blue was withdrawn in the 19th century and has since been considered one of the most popular not only in Russia but also in Europe and also in America. This is an absolutely unpretentious and non-aggressive animal. Therefore, it is possible to start such a kitten for pensioners and for families with children.

The most important distinctive feature of the breed is the green eyes. In small kittens they are blue, but about three months begin to change their color. It is at this age that it is best to buy a pet. Yellow eyes are considered a defect. In addition, when choosing it is necessary to inspect the fur. Cat breed Russian blue differs uniform blue (with silvery outflow) color. Even a small number of separate hairs of a different color is considered to be a marriage. Little kittens sometimes have stripes. This is not a defect, as it passes with age. In any case, the fur should be thick, silky and soft to the touch, even a few plush.

If we talk about the character, then the breed of Russian blue cat is distinguished by playfulness and friendliness towards the person. These animals have a remarkably developed hunting instinct. Therefore, those who have mice in the house, the Russian blue cat breed will also suit just perfectly. If there are no rodents, it is worth buying special toys for the animal. In this case, the cat will feel really happy.

An animal of this breed usually chooses one or two people in the family, which is treated with special affection. To all the rest of the household remains somewhat indifferent. This is an extremely intolerant of the rude breed of a cat. Russian blue will never tolerate that it is too much squeezed or, say, pulled at the tail, and will certainly rebuff. In the past, these beauties were one of the favorite breeds of nobility. Therefore, even the modern Russian blue is distinguished by a certain aristocracy. For example, such a cat is very suspicious of outsiders. She will carefully evaluate the new person and will never approach him first. However, if the guest will treat her with kindness, it will very quickly become playful and affectionate.

In food, these cats are absolutely naddable. You can feed them "off the table" or special dry food. In the latter case, it is necessary to ensure that the animal always has access to water. Since the wool of these cats is short (see pictures of Russian blue cats on this page), combing and bathing them too often is not necessary. It will be enough once a week to use a brush with natural bristles. More private combing is needed during moulting - twice a week.

Russian blue - the cat is very clean. She takes care of her fur coat herself. However, of course, if your pet is somewhere very dirty, you should definitely buy it. Change the filler in the tray as often as possible. If the animal does not like the smell coming from the "restroom", it can turn into a personal toilet any place that it finds comfortable for itself.

In general, those who want to have a clean, unpretentious and extremely beautiful animal at home, the Russian blue cat is just perfect. The photos presented on this page clearly demonstrate the entire grace, aristocracy and grace of the representatives of this remarkable breed.
