Russian Blue - no. Adorable - yes. See below...
Appearance
The Russian Blue has a very distinct appearance and several unique identifiers. The easier identifiers are:
· Green eyes (not yellow, blue, or orange but a dark bottle green)
· Solid blue all over with just the tips of the guard hairs being silver and producing a shimmering effect. Domestic blue cats will lack this tipping and be a flat blue. There are no white or other color markings whatsoever, except for the occasional white locket on the throat (considered a disqualifiable fault)
· A thick double coat. The first coat consists of the longer guard hairs. The second is the undercoat, which is very soft and gives the Russian Blue coat its unique feel. Looked at closely, these fine hairs appear wavy
· Mauve footpads. Most domestic blue cats have slate gray pads
The first indication to me was the eyes...enjoy your kitty!![]()
