rosethecopycat,

When my partner and I started to look for cat's I wanted something I was familiar with. I grew up with a Seal Point Siamese cat who lived to the ripe old age of 23!

I love Siamese, but wanted a calmer disposition. In our search, Russian Blues came up as a match. They are a less known breed with fewer breeders. I had to travel 4 hours to pick Nakita up since I really didn't want my cat "transported" by plane. We just lucked out that a breeder was pretty close to us.

I love all cats, and don't want to give the impression I only take on certain breeds. We look after a feral population of cats up at my cottage and hope to be more active in animal rescue in the future.

Again, thank you for your kind comments!
