Russian Blue Cats: Physical Attributes
Long and slender, the Russian Blue has a triangle-shaped head and wide, pointed, large ears. The breed’s broad forehead and long, straight nose contribute to their sleek and elegant look. Though they look slender, the breed has a surprisingly strong, muscular body. That musculature has even earned them a nickname, “the Doberman Pinscher of cats.” The breed is physically impressive altogether, with long legs that enable them to run fast and move gracefully.
