One of many latter, even goes so far as to claim these cats were the widely used pets of Russian Czars prior to the Russian revolution. The official version, though, goes that they can originated about the Archangel Isles in Russia and were eventually introduced in the uk in the 1860s where these folks were exhibited on the Crystal Palace as Archangel cats, also referred to as Spanish blue or foreign blue. The then so-called Archangel cat soon caught for both in the UK and Scandinavia where it was renamed Russian blue and actively bred until The second world war. These folks were officially declared a whole new breed in 1912 by the Cat Fancy Society, to prevent confusion with British Blue cats.

From your 1940s on, we were holding also crossed with Siamese cats and when in USA, These blue coloured cats were also developed until a fresh breed is made. These cats have become referred to as Modern Russian Blue cats.

Physical description:

Regarding their appearance, Russian Blue cats are well-built and fine-boned with graceful long limbs.

Their coat is short-specially suitable should you be allergic-and smooth. Their unique colour is caused by the reality that both blueish grey and also silver-tipped hairs let them have a total lustrous look. What actually ensures they are so attractive and eye-catching is the contrast between their own personal glossy coat and their striking yellowish green eyes.

Naturally enough, only Russian blue cats with blueish grey coats are officially considered such by most Cat Societies world-wide with all the sole exception in the Australian Cat Federation (ACF) which accepts black, and white Russian blue cats consequently.
