Valentine's Day

Hi my friends! ^^
I want to tell you about… The Russian Blue Cat.. enjoy it.. :))
What I love most about the Russian Blue is their green eyes and very soft coats. They are very affectionate cats who don't like to be put off when they want to be petted. They follow me around everywhere, so you almost have to be carefull where you are walking so you don't step on them. If you like working on your computer, you will find them wanting to sit on your lap as you work, that is if you can.
Even though you may have the female fixed, she may mark you as her own with a very pungent scent, enough where you have to change your clothes and/or shower. My female has retained her habit of kneading, and it is at this time that she normally marks.
They love to sleep under the covers close to me on cold nights, and when they want to eat they sure let you know about it.
 They hate car rides, and both ends are working after a mile away from the house. When I had them as kittens I got into the habit of giving them water baths. They don't like it still, but they don't fight me as much. The female just takes it and is very quiet, but the male lets out such howls! I do not bathe them during the winter months so they don't get sick, but once the weather warms up I use a flea and tick soap on them.
If you move around a lot then getting a Russina Blue may not be a good idea. They like one place. In the past I had boarded them, but getting them there was a terrible experience, so now a friend comes in to check on them daily while I am away. Don't be surprised if you see blankets or other objects out of place or in other rooms. These cats are really strong and extremely intelligent. I've had my male Russian Blue drag an 18-pound bag of dry cat food out from the closet.
Think twice before you get another cat. I adopted an American Shorthair, and it took some time before the Blues accepted her. Even still, every now and then they avoid her. However, there are times I find all three of them sleeping together.
It is not a good idea to have these cats with younger children. They are an adult cat, but that is not to say they won't try to get along with children. If you want to make sure they are an indoor ca,t don't start letting them out. Once they get the feel for the outdoors they will sit at the door until you open it and shoot out like a bullet. Never hit or yell at them so if they do get out they won't run away from you. When I gt out after mine and call them, they slowly walk back over to me.
If they start getting onto your cabinets, use a spray water bottle. They quickly get the message, but you have to keep at it all the time.
