Russian Blue Cats

Do you have one?

Having had cats for most of my life, it's strange when I think of all of the various breeds I've never adopted. I almost said "owned," but cats pretty much own you! I have one clawing up my office chair as we speak. I tend to gravitate toward tortoiseshells, long-haired cats and especially black cats; I don't think I've ever been without a black cat for long. But I've never had a Russian Blue, and seeing these photos of Russian Blue cats makes me really want one!

Just look at those gorgeous green eyes. My current cats all have variations of yellow/orange eyes so these look especially pretty to me. My husband did have a Russian Blue when he was a teenager but he hasn't had one since adulthood, and I wonder if we should make that our next cat. We get shelter cats, so it's pretty much get what you get, but he's got his heart set on a Maine Coon and a Sphinx someday. We do have a cat that's part Maine Coon right now but he's on the smaller side, and we'd love to have a HUGE cat! All three of my sister's cats are enormous and dwarf my cats.

Do Russian Blues tend to be on the larger side? If you have Russian Blues, tell us about them in the chat!
