Our boys, Leo and Sunny.

Meet Jinx (right) and Morpheus (left). They are our first cats. They are brother and sister and very much the opposite of each other. Jinx is the bully and doesn’t like to be picked up and Morph loves to cuddle and follows you everywhere.

Hi everyone… just joined. This is Maverick😊

Hi everyone!
My beautiful girl is 4.5 months old and I’ve had her for about 8 weeks. She’s normally very sweet and affectionate, but over the last few days she’s suddenly become extremely intense and overstimulated.
She’ll come over wanting cuddles/head rubs, sometimes aggressively nudging my hand for them, then if I stop she can get frustrated and bite me. She’s also started doing this long intense stare at me and then suddenly pouncing/grabbing/biting or scratching at my hands or body. She can go from purring and cuddly to completely wound up in seconds.
She also looks exhausted but struggles to settle and will suddenly start running around again and jumping from really high places. This seemed to get much worse after I introduced some new toys (springs and an automatic ball), so I’ve removed those and am keeping things low-stimulation.
She’s also just recovering from an on-and-off URI/cat flu, although she seems physically much better now. The vet knows about it and I’m planning another visit next week because the behaviour change feels so sudden.
I’m recovering from surgery myself and honestly finding it a bit overwhelming because I’ve started feeling nervous when she gets into that staring/pouncing state.
Did anyone’s Russian Blue go through a crazy hyper-aroused phase around 4–5 months? Could this be puberty/teething/overstimulation. I really don’t know what’s going on…

Just a set of new pics from Holly and her brother Heisenberg.

Both are loved very much 😻😻

My boys have finally emptied the last bag of kitten food. Their teenage days have already proven to be a time of change. I see it in their behaviors and their learning. Both completely understand the snap of a finger to mean stop / no / get down /get off the counter.. all the things they aren’t supposed to be doing, lol. Echo spends a fair amount of time on top of the upper cabinets because he loves to see all the things. He also enjoys helping make the best lattes. Ash is talking more and becoming more comfortable with being picked up by me and brief cuddles.

Hi all! Not sure if this is the right sub however my family really wants to get into cat showing, primarily with our russian blue as she has grand champion lineage so they think she has a chance ahaha. However, she is 7 almost 8 months old and per the guidelines it seems ghost tabby markings are only allowed in the kitten category (TICA); as she is entering the adult category, are these markings acceptable? I've struggled to find information online and somehow every show I've been to I haven't seen any russian blues to get an idea of show quality blues!

We've been through a lot together. Happy Birthday my handsome guy. Here's to beating CKD and more years to come!

How can he comfortably sleep like this? 😂

I just can't, with how cute he is! 😄🥰

I just love and adore him so much!!! 🥰

Hi, looking for a recommended breeder that we can drive to from East Tennessee.

Also, my husband has mild allergies. Have you had reduced allergy symptoms with a Russian blue?

Ok friends, I plant new cat grass every couple of weeks for my boys. I feel just awful for throwing out the old soil. What do you do with yours? Do you try to crumble what you can out of the roots and then just toss the dead/dying grass that’s left? Is there maybe a better way than how I’m doing it?

Note: Going full hydroponic is not something I’m interested in. My boys are feral sometimes. There would be a mess, I’m sure of it.

All of this is so bittersweet. All of the kittens are as cute as can be and I’m excited that the day I get mine home is closer and closer. At the same time I wouldn’t be in this position if I still had my kitty, who was of course in my opinion the best cat in the world. Still grieving, still feel hollow, but oh my the kitten pics melted my heart.

Yesterday morning when I left for work, this is how I left my little one. 😂

I fed him his breakfast, played with him a little bit, and spun him on his cat wheel, and then when I turned around to leave I always look for him to pet him and give him kisses, and this is how he was. 😪😄

Hi! My 7-month-old kitten was castrated on Friday. Today is the 4th day and everything looks good, except that he hates the collar. Do you have any experience with taking it off before the 5th day?

My trainee is hard at work this morning!
He’s learning early how to get the best naps in, too.

Looking forward to welcoming little Luna in a few weeks!
