So it is said that Russian Blues can be larger and kind of big boned.... how much do all of you weigh? I'm around 16-17 lbs at 4 years of age.

the photos me n mama have seen of russian blues show them as very slim and long.
I'm a mix, very long & I stand 35"' from ears to hind paws.
hehe there is a photo on my page where I take up most of the diameter of the coffee table.
I'm not big boned, but muscular and have a bit of a gut tummie.
it swings when I run hahaha. Though with my new toy I'm sure that will slim down.
My weight I think is about 8-10 lbs....will find out when I go to the vet.

That's interesting, I had a feral litter of blues, from 6-11 pounds. I found a cat I wanted to adopt on petfinder who weighs 15 pounds, but it might be because they keep her in a cage on a special diet for uTI. I thought that was to large for the breed.

It would be good to get solid answers about pedigree descriptions. I've seen postings for all kinds of mixes that say they are Russian Blues. Mine had a bit of Persian so Fred was DLH, but a couple sisters had shorter hair. I had two tuxedos, one gray and one black, and the runt hhad white roots and a more smoky hair color. I miss them all.

Fred just passed around Thanksgiving at 18.7 months with a stroke. His sister Goldie had heart failure last Spring. I'm looking for a new companion in Oregon.

I'm quite small boned and slender and always have been. I weigh about 8 lbs - I may not be a pedigree Russian Blue, but I have all the traits. Meowmy has read up on us, and she thinks I'm a purrfect example of Russian Blue-ness. We're not usually large or heavy that I know of.

way to go

what mama read about russian blues is that they are, the pure breds, very slender and long.
They have absolutely no tummy. The more distinctive feature of blues is their trademark ears,
long with a really cute point. RB's eyes are also the trademark green. Behavior traits include
well tempered, loyal and very tolerant of children. Oh, and also the pads on our paws are pink.
Not all of mine are pink and I have a tummy hehe (all the yummy food)
When mama first adopted me, she thought I was a purebred, and wondered why I was abit on the husky side in comparison to the pics she saw. Then she figured out what the DSH meant and realized I was a mix. My primary traits/personality match the Russian Blue which I'm very proud and enjoy being. smile

Well it appears I'm on the fat end of the scale then! MOL! But I'm happy and healthy - so a few pounds won't hurt! I'm a mix, so I'm sure I got my weight somewhere!!!!

My paw pads are all blue-ish pink or mauve - my eyes are furry green - that is what is says on most online sites are Russian Blue traits. I just realized my initials are RB - MOL I never even realized that. I think we're all furry good looking kitties here.

i heard that blues have actually pink pawpads.
four pads on each paw are pink except the top paw, it is greyish/blue.
I thought since I'm mixed that was why one pad on each paw was not pink.

What sites are you lookin at "RB" ?
yea you're right!!! you're initials match your breed!
