TICA Breed Standards

The Authentic Russian Blue

Defined by an alert ear posture, vivid emerald gaze, and an unmistakable silver-frosted double coat standing plush to the touch.

Physical Distinction

Three Hallmarks of Type

Generations of intentional pedigree selection preserve a distinctive silhouette, dense tactile pelt, and serene domestic disposition.

Temperament

Silver-Tipped Slate Pelt

Luminous Emerald Gaze

Quiet Household Loyalty

A dense plush double coat where slate guard hairs terminate in translucent silver tips, reflecting natural ambient daylight like morning frost.

Kittens start with golden amber irises that gradually transition into vivid, deep emerald rings framing a gentle cobra-like head angle.

Russian Blues communicate in melodic chirps and whispers, preferring gentle lap companionship and close daily routines alongside their human family.

Allergen Context

Understanding Fel d 1

Russian Blues naturally secrete lower baseline quantities of the protein Fel d 1 within their saliva and skin glands than most domestic cats. While no feline is completely allergen-free, this lower concentration offers genuine relief for many mildly sensitive households.

We avoid sweeping promises. Human immune reactions vary across individuals, so we guide prospective families through staged exposure protocols and thoughtful indoor air management prior to confirming any kitten reservation.

Weekly Steel-Comb Grooming

Moisture-Rich Nutrition

Quiet Interactive Play

Run a fine-toothed steel comb through the plush coat once weekly, lifting loose underfur without stripping the protective silver guard hair layer.

Provide animal-protein wet meals paired with filtered water fountains, supporting kidney hydration and preserving distinctive pelt sheen across every season.

Schedule short wand sessions and provide vertical climbing trees, satisfying their agile minds while nurturing their steady, affectionate nature.
