Same the Russian blue i had was the most loyal little guy you could ask for he was adorable, followed you everywhere would sit and wait for you to get off work then quiet head boops for dinner cuddles and snuggles, he lived to 20 or so long for a cat but rest his soul he was such a pal.

❤️😘🤗🥰

Same. I lost mine 3 years ago. She was 14 and had heart problems. Miss that girl.

...my late wife & I adopted a stray Russian Blue mix (I suspect angora - he had long hair) he was the sweetest also - we adopted 7 strays - all were sweet to some extent, but 'Snugglebug' as my wife called him was just that...a snuggler...he followed me around, slept on my chest at night - rubbed his little putty nose against mine and would jump on my lap while I was on the can - yeah, them claws were sharp...I lost him early this year - he was prolly close to 17 also...I miss the hell out of him...

I'm so sorry to hear about your wife....Your blue must have been so special! It is amazing how they really get into your heart. @@mohammedcohen

Congrats, he sounds like a special boy. I to plan on rehoming some RB's. I just need to get my home cat proofed, build some cat trees and some cat shelves up on the walls so they'll have places to be up high to overlook their domain. I wish you and your boy many years together. 😹😸

Squirrels my boy is half siamese talks constantly! My daughters late blue was quiet! So is my boy a talker due to his siamese heritage? Or can we get blues to talk more by encouraging it?

@@oldfogey4679 I guarantee it’s because Siamese are notable talkers. However, mini update; he occasionally lets out quiet meows now! I think he needed to get comfortable. I doubt he’ll ever be very vocal, but when I greet him, once in a blue moon he’ll meow

@@allenpost3616 thanks! And best of luck to you!

thank you so much!💗

Chicken my boy is half siamese talks constantly! So do u want a talker or quiet blue? My daughters trying now to catch a pregnant blue! I got mine for free unexpectedly! Hope u get one for free!

@@oldfogey4679 I like more vocal cats but my mum wants a quieter one, but I basically just want any cat

Yes you do! Great cats!!

Thats great to hear she is able to deal with your work schedule. Thats one reason I would like to rehome some RB's at least two litter mates as I to work long hours and away from home 12-14 hours a day sometimes. So I would want two to keep each other company. Can I ask if you use some type of auto feeder for her? I'm looking into one I can put on a timer so they'll have feedings on a schedule. Thanks, and I wish you and your girl many years together.

same here

@@leighjackson4844 Currently owned by my fourth, Tatiana, 16 weeks old. (I am saving up for her PhD from Cambridge...it seems we are heading that way!! ha!)

I completely get it. My first Blue lived to age 20. The pain of losing him was so intense it took me three full years to stop crying. He’s buried next to the house in a cat coffin with a professionally engraved blue slate headstone.

Us too… mine only lived to 15, and passed 3 weeks ago. I’ll never be ok

We also were thinking to get a Russian White so Sebastian will have a friend, they are the best!

Good to know. They’ll usually get along with a kitten. I’ve never seen a Russian White. Even with the best human attention and love they do become lonely and bored with their toys…often need a non human playmate

David even though my half blue was abused for the first 6wks of life he's never been skittish! Temperamental vocally he takes after his siamese daddy! Blues shyness is off putting to me! I may get a kitten blue if my daughter can catch the pregnant mama?

thank you!💗

So does my cat same breed

He always has it up and he purred everywhere he went even at the vets so the vet had to run a tap to make him stop lol

sadly, not all cats ‘like’ dry food :)

they are very smart and vocal. sebastian loves to talk a lot 😸

My blue stays at my cabinet shop. She likes to get up on the workbench to "supervise" and "help." Knock the glue bottle over. Get glue on her tail. Park herself exactly where l don't want her. When l've had enough down she goes. Russian Blues usually know when it's time to get lost.

he is a small boy♥️ thank you!

he’s amazing :) thank you!❤️

❤️❤️❤️

Approx cost looking a buying one but the prices are very different

@@jenjay0167 From a reputable breeder its likely to be over 1.5k to 2k. Anything less is suspicious, and anything less than 1k is probably a kitten mill and should be avoided at all costs.

@@TipOfTheSauce thank you

@@jenjay0167 Few other things you or anyone else should look out for when adopting from a breeder. TLDR: Check cat fanciers association for general prices, wait times are typically greater than 6 months, request live footage of their place, be prepared to be raked over the coals to see if you are suitable. First for Russian Blues 1.5k is typically the lowest you will ever see, however they can go substantially higher than 2k depending pedigree certifications. I personally got 2 pedigree ones for 3.5k each, 6k for both (many breeders will give you a discount for getting multiple). This is just for Russian Blues, I recommend checking breeders on the cat fanciers association website to get an idea for other breeds (even if you don’t buy from one of them). Second is wait times. Right now, especially with COVID; wait times seem to range from 6 months to 18 or even 24 months due to high demand. If any breeder says they can get you one in anything significantly less than 6 months is probably a mill so walk away. Finally, under normal circumstances I would say go to the breeder and check them out, however due to COVID that probably won’t be happening. The next best thing would have a FaceTime call where you can see everywhere the kittens would have been. Don’t rely on pictures or videos they send you (can be faked). One more thing, breeders will do everything to make sure you are a suitable adopter; including things like applications, multiple interviews, and requesting to see your place. I hope that this is helpful to any would be adopter. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. :)

@@TipOfTheSauce very helpful. THANK YOU

Make sure to adopt one! Way less aggressive than purebred.... I have an adopted mix RB

It was a long time ago now and I got my inspiration from other youtubers and their cats, but mostly I remember before putting the plate down from the counter for Sebastian to eat that I told him “sit” and gently nudged him back into a sitting position, if you repeat this a few times firmly eventually they understand that once they sit they get what they want. After he got that down I introduced asking for paw after sitting, so after he sat I would say “paw please”and gently take his paw and keep repeating whenever you’re about to feed them. It might be easier to start with a snack if your kitty enjoys them as it can be a bit of a fun game to get the reward. I hope this helps!

@@rbluesebastian Thank you, I've tried that a few times, but my little kitten gets so hyper when there's a snack or food around, it's like he can't focus on anything else but the food, and he can't sit still. 😕🥴

I beg to differ on that one. I went to a rescue near me in Pa and found this sweet little gray kitten. We paid like 400.00 for him. He was indeed a blue Russian. 18 beautiful years with him til April 1 2021. The Vet said he had cancer. I miss him so much. He really was my buddy. So much love and sweetness.

Haha, you are right, I was thinking the same thing: under a lot of russian blue videos you can find comments from people who allegedly found their RB on the street. I also think that this is rather unlikely. Here where I live you see absolutely zero pedigree cats on the street or in the shelter, for a good reason: they cost a lot of money.
