Lichaam en bouw

Russian Blue is a small cat with companion background whose build should be read beside moderate movement demand, moderate trainability, and a grooming load of 2/5.

The Russian Blue is associated with northern Russian blue cats and later pedigreed development in Europe. Its history fits a quiet, elegant companion that often needs trust before social confidence blooms. In practice, that background helps owners connect origin with movement, handling, enrichment, and realistic training expectations.
