Russian Blue Breed Origin: Myths Dissolved. History of Russian Blue Cat Breed.
Like 0 Dislike 0 Published on 27 Jan 2019
Russian blue breed continues to be a mystery when it comes to its origin, but in this video we try to explain why it did not originate in cold and snowy Archangelsk, one of the utmost Northern cities of Russia.
After watching this video you will know why Siberian Cat and the Norwegian Forest Cat, which supposedly come from the same harsh climate, are better equipped for the winters. The truth is – Russian Blue Cat has not been exposed to cold at all!
