Has anyone ever had a Russian Blue cat as a pet? What was/is your experience in the relationship with your cat

Sweet Pea, my Russian Blue, suffered from kidney failure and I had to put her to sleep. She is my guardian angel %26amp; I miss her so much. I have wanted to find another cat of that breed ever since, but it is very difficult to find Russian Blue kittens that are local to my Los Angeles CA area. Sweet Pea came up and introduced herself to me in an alley back in 1995....

Yes, I had a Russian Blue. They seem to be "one person" cats. Mine was named Toby and he was a talker too. He died of old age in 1994. I still miss his silky soft fur and the way he slept by my head and purred me to sleep.





Here is a link for a breeder directory:

Reply:My sister had a Russian Blue and she was the prettiest cat, and so affectionate. And she had a very graceful walk and quiet meow. Great cat!
Reply:Aww, I'm sorry to hear that Sweet Pea is no longer with you. And what a wonderful story about the way she introduced herself to you. I guess she knew from the start that she would be your best friend if you offered her a home.





I have never had a Russian Blue, but a friend had one, and he loved that cat so much. He got his at an animal shelter, so he was quite lucky. The only trouble with the cat is that it sometimes drooled. I don't know if that is a general characteristic or if it just pertained to that one cat.





In any event, I hope that you will find a new little friend soon, and I know that you will continue to cherish your beautiful memories of Sweet Pea. Good luck.
Reply:I have never had a "pedigree" type cat as a pet. I always had the mutt type cats
Reply:We think the cat was a Russian Blue, he looked like one. He was a stray that adopted us. We called him blue and he was 100% pure scrounge cat. He really attached himself to my husband. Wherever my husband would go he would follow him. He didn't like to be loved or petted too much, but he just wanted to be with you. We don't know how he died, he came up missing for a couple of weeks, then one day we found him in the yard. And still to this day 2 yrs. later, we don't know what he died from or what got a hold of him.
Reply:I had a cat called Ashley that everyone said was a Russian Blue. She looked just like one, but she was a stray. I lost her to kidney failure caused by feline leukemia. She will always have a special place in my heart, as will yours. Sorry for your loss. :(
