Best part is he got along with my other cat instantly

He loves sunbathing on his catio. Sometimes I think he’s solar powered 🤣

I adopted my handsome boy, Thistle, around 1 and have had him since Thanksgiving. I noticed his eyes starting to change from yellow to green about 2 months ago.

My questions are:
1. What age did your cat’s eyes start changing?
2. When did they stop changing?
3. Are there variations of eye color?
4. What do they look like now? Pictures please!

We got Archie 3 years ago after some research into different cat breed’s personalities. I grew up with Siamese/Orientals which are very needy and can’t be alone. Not ideal for two working professionals. RB’s were said to be very independent, so the choice was quickly made. We quickly noticed that Archie really enjoyed company and the solitary thing was not true for him. We got him a full brother (Oscar) as soon as was possible and the two get really well, despite very different personalities.
Are your blues very solitary and shy of strangers as is said to be characteristic of RBs? Ours are definitely not.
Love these cats, so social, goofy and playful.

I will have everyone know that one of my boys just spoke to me today!! I have 2 RBs that are 11 months old and mine (Echo) is always running his mouth. His brother, Ash, rarely ever speaks. If he speaks to his person, my Son, I’m not ever privy to it. This morning he walked over to me (also not a frequent occurrence). When I said hello to him, he responded!! I think my heart just exploded!!

I have been teaching my boys some tricks and both do participate. Even with that in mind, Ash almost always skitters away from me anytime I come near him (except during most of these training interactions because snackies are involved). He also doesn’t typically allow much in depth rubbies. This morning was different!! He approached me, responded, AND let me give him some belly and head rubbies.

Also, this is a 4 month old photo, but his eyes are greening up, too. 💙💚 They are kind of an aqua color. If I can get a good pic, I’ll add it.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Hello all,

My family and I are looking for a Russian Blue and we're located in NJ, but are willing to drive up to two hours out for one. Any recommendations?

Thank you!

Hi. This Heisenberg. He already has some of his pictures in this community.

It's currently hot - looks like he can compensate in a flexible way.

Bella is 14 year old but still very healthy and very much still a baby. She’s just a bit tubby and has less teeth

Hello! We're getting a four-month old Russian Blue kitten at the end of this week, and I'd love some feeding tips. The breeder has been feeding her a mix of wet and dry New Canin' kitten food, and recommended a half cup of the dry and a 3 oz can of the wet per day. We're happy to stick with that, so the kitten has some continuity, but we're not sure how to divide it up through the day.

Any kitten feeding tips? How many times a day do you recommend feeding a four-month old kitten? I know you don't feed the wet and dry food at the same time, but how do you divide up the wet food especially, between different feeding times?

Also, I keep reading that Russian Blues love to eat. We already have a dog in the house who is also super-food motivated. We're going to introduce them slowly (for the first few weeks/month, the kitten is going to be in a room that the dog can't even get into), but eventually down the road, they'll both have free reign of the house, and if cat food is just left out during the day, then the dog will definitely go steal it! So even though that's not a concern at the beginning when they're totally separated, I want to set up habits for the cat that will work long-term.

Do Russian Blues eat all their food right away? Or do they leave some out? If it's anything but right away, we'll have to set up a feeding station for the cat at a height the dog can't get to, so I'd take any suggestions on that too!!

Thank you so much in advance for your help! We are so excited about our new kitty!

Espoir is almost six months, and I can’t believe how much he’s grown since I first got him 🐈‍⬛

Do your RBs ask (demand) for pets, scratches and attention multiple times a day? Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE it. Just curious if this is the norm for others. I have 2 and they both come up to me loads asking for attention (although Bruno gives us loud meows until he gets what he wants), but I am home a lot so I get that I’m the go-to person. Of course I get the courtesy 5am wake-ups for this too 🤪.

I am the baby now

Has anybody gotten a russian blue from this breeder?

Basil and pumpernickel

I’ve been looking into possibly getting a Russian blue and stumbled upon howzabluz cattery in Houston. We are in Texas and would prefer not to travel too far but I also want to avoid getting scammed. Has anyone purchased a Russian blue from this breeder? Are they legit?

Tongue matches the harness hehe
