Russian Blue

Reserved with strangers, devoted to their own people, and an easy-care coat. Regular play and a few interesting places to explore help make the day engaging. The double coat asks for less routine grooming, though it still deserves regular checks. The published 7–12 lb adult range is a starting point; your pet's measured weight is what matters for choosing food and gear.
