Cattime says Russian Blue cats are known for being well-behaved, gentle and quiet. They are loyal to and enjoy the company of their humans, but they may be shy and reserved around new people. Like most cats, they do best with routines — especially when it comes to mealtimes — and they dislike any sort of change in their environment. Russian Blue cats are friendly and affectionate toward their favorite humans. They love playing fetch, climbing and exploring new areas, so much so that the ASPCA recommends blocking off any small spaces in your home that could be dangerous for a curious cat. Overall, this breed makes the perfect companion for all types of pet parents, including first-time pet owners, working professionals and families with older children.
