Russian Blues are sweet-tempered and loyal cat, known for their silky, short blue coat and large green brilliance eyes. Russian Blues are pretty quiet except when it's mealtime, Dr. Burch said. "Russian Blues are devoted and affectionate to their family but can be shy around strangers," she said, noting that these cats are also susceptible to their human's mood and will provide comfort when needed.
The Russian Blue is also one of the most intelligent breeds, Keiger said. "I think that it senses what you're thinking before you even think it," she said. "Because of this, it's reserved, wanting to check out anything and anyone new to make certain that it is not a threat. But once they have decided that you are their person you will have an unbroken bond." She also explained that Russian Blues are moderately active, loving to play hard, eat well, and rest well.
