History and Personality

The history of the Russian Blue is couched in rumor and legend. The Blue was originally known as the Archangel Cat, as it is believed thay were brought by sailors from the Archangel Isles to England in the 1860s.
 
The physical beauty of the Russian Blue is complemented by its loving, quiet disposition. Although shy in nature, Russian Blues are affectionate intelligent, and playful with their human companions. They get along with children and other pets, making them a fine addition to a family. If you are a single household, the Russian Blue will fit equally well, as he can entertain himself while you are gone and welcome you with his smiley face when you return.
