The head is sometimes described as cobra-like which aptly describes the broad, medium wedge and flat profiles. The large, pointed ears are wide at the base and set rakishly toward the side of the head. The body of the Russian Blue is fine-boned, long, and firmly muscled. The clean lines and graceful carriage of the Russian Blue give it a regal appearance all its own. Those attracted by the physical beauty of the Russian Blue find the disposition of these unassuming cats equally appealing.
Russian Blues are quiet, clean cats who are playful and loving companions.
Despite their shy nature, Russians are devoted and quite affectionate towards their loved ones. They are very intelligent and have been reported to open doors and teach their owners to fetch.

A Russian Blue is a good choice for the modern home because their undemanding nature fits perfectly into today s busy schedules.
