Russian Blue: the name gets me because they're actually grey, so I have no idea where the name comes from. We had one years ago, too. He was the runt of the litter and we loved him all the more for it. He walked with a funny gait and his sense of balance was a bit off too. Looking back on it, I think he might have been borderline special needs.
Blue is more of a scientific term for grey. In some cats, you can see that they're a blueish-grey color. Aw! I've always wanted a Russian blue. I remember you talking about him! What was his name?
His name was Jesse. Oh and his build was a bit on the skinny side too, despite being well fed, but he was very soft and cuddly We had him back in the 80s, so unfortunately he's not around any more.
