Russianblue, thanks for your reply and answer. Are we the only two who has Russian Blue furkids on Pet Talk?

It seems as though my Russian blues do seem to mature slower than the others I have. Prince is a Russian Blue/Maine Coon mix. But according to his size and temperment, he favors the MC. breed.

Yes, Nikolai and Blue-Czarina are my two Russina blues. (They have no pedigree papers, but their appearance and temperments definitely make them nearly 100% Russian Blue) If I remember correctly, Nikolai was born last March. That would make him about 9 months old. I am thinking that Blue-Czarina is about 20 months old now. I really do not remember when she was born -spring of 2001, sometime.

My tiny little female Littlebit (Tiny butt) is very tiny for her age. Although she is a gray/tan tortie mix, like her mom, Cookie, she is less than 3 lbs for being 9 months old. Cookie was also very small for her age until this summer, now she is about a normal sized female. Also that Littlebit has green eyes, which I am thinking that is the Russian Blue in her lineage.
