Russian Blue Cat Personality and Temperament

Many people wonder about what type of personality they would like to have in their cat, after all it will be a new member of the family and because of this it needs to fit in with you and how you act. Therefore, I often hear the questions, what is a Russian Blue cat like? Will they get along with my other animals? These are defiantly questions you should be asking, as they could affect everything and you certainly don’t want to make a mistake.

As mentioned in the Russian Blue Cats Physical Characteristics section of the website, Russian Blues are known to be very graceful cats, which don’t have to be looked after to closely, but as with all cats, they crave human attention and you will need to make sure they get this.

Russian Blue cats are said to be the “true cat” by many, this is because they are seen to be as normal cats are, lively, playful and very cautious. However, they are also intelligent and curious, which create an extra level of interaction with the human. Meaning people love being around these cats. The female Russian Blue cat are very good mothers, who always raise their kittens well.

You will find that the Russian Blue cat becomes very attached to the owner’s family, especially one or two members. Meaning that you must be prepared to give the cat attention and maintain your love and devotion. However, this means that the Russian Blue isn’t very interested in other humans, meaning it often holds back when in contact with strangers, but after a while it may be willing to investigate further. Luckily, the cat has a very good memory and this means it will remember these people and be much friendlier in the future. The Russian Blue Cat is also a cat you can trust, it is never aggressive and because of this it is quite predictable.

One of the biggest questions I receive, is about how well Russian Blues are around children. This is a very important question and hopefully my answer will help. The breed of cat is very well mannered around children showing that they have no intention of hurting them. When being handled by a small child, they will hide if the child is being too rough, they will not retaliate. With other animals the Russian Blue needs to be introduced properly, as they react on experience. This means tat if the first meeting gores well, then the cat will behave from then on, but if not there could be problems.
