The Russian Blue is a natural breed that is believed to have originated in the Archangel Isles of Northern Russia. They were brought to England and Northern Europe in the mid-1860s by sailors. The breed was first exhibited at the Crystal Palace in London in 1875, where it competed in a class for all short-haired blue cats.
Their dense, plush coat stands out at a 45-degree angle, allowing you to trace patterns in it with your finger.
They are often nicknamed 'the smiling cat' due to the slightly upturned corners of their mouth.
Russian Blues are sometimes considered 'hypoallergenic' because they produce less Fel d 1 protein, though this varies by individual.
They are highly intelligent and can often be trained to play fetch or open doors.
