Hi, all! I've had my 2 fur babies for 2 years now and have always been curious as to whether they are domestic shorthairs or Russian Blues. They seem to act as Russians but I have no idea. Any help you can give is appreciated. Thanks!
They’re beautiful cats! I’d describe them as blue Domestic Shorthairs. Russian Blues have a leaner body, longer face, and lighter fur. A Korat might be a better comparison. You could also call them Maltese cats; that’s another name for a blue cat of indeterminate breed.
If you’re really curious to find out what breeds might be in their ancestry, you can get them DNA tested. In fact, Basepaws is offering a DNA test kit giveaway for TCS members! Check it out: Discover Your Cat's Genetic Makeup With Basepaws
