The Russian Blue cat is recognizable by his beautiful green eyes and a striking blue coat with a lustrous sheen. It’s a dignified cat that thrives off of a calm and quiet environment. They are well-mannered, polite, and fastidious, hinting at their long association with Russian nobility. They can be considered hypoallergenic for those who are allergic to cat hair (but not saliva or dander).

What Are the Cutest Cat & Kitten Breeds?

Who doesn’t love petting a cute cat, or cuddling with an adorable kitten? While every feline is fetching in his or her own right, there are a few that tend to stand out to the general public.

Why Adopt a Second Cat?

There are benefits to having two cats, but they apply only when the two cats are well matched and have enough physical space to live together comfortably. One benefit is that the two cats provide each other with exercise, social interaction, and other forms of mental stimulation. Cats housed together have more opportunity to “be cats” by socializing and playing with each other, and this means they are less likely to be destructive or engage in other problematic behavior. For example, some single cats annoy their owners by trying to wake them during the night for play. Two cats might still wake the owner by tearing around the home, but at least the owner isn’t getting up out of bed to entertain the cat. Another benefit of two cats is that they are sometimes cleaner than a cat living by itself. Cats will groom each other’s ears and coat, often getting at places the cat can’t reach on its own!
