Hi Guys,

Sorry for the daft question but I dont know much about cat breeds.

Mum has just rang saying that the Sheba advert is on, and that was her cat looks like. Except Ivor is a bit.. plumper!

Any ideea what breed it is, Dad has always said Russian Blue (hence .. Ivor) but mum doesnt believe him!

Ok, so I'm assumng a.) Russian blue'#s are available in the UK and b.) the neighbour who bought the cat spent a LOT of money and my mum shoud be very grateful that she didnt mind the cat adopting my mum (due to them getting a big dog!) and wouldnt accept money for her!

Mum thought she was a moggy and I said she definietely wasnt... but I'd check what breed she is!

Well, she is a bit fat... lol but only since she got older. Used to be very slim.

Is there a way to tell the difference between a British and Russian blue?

She's always had a chubby face!!!

I'll try and get a pic of her in the morning. Going over there to talk "with the client" (I'm designing a bespoke shower screen for my mum... and she's paying me :lol:result!)

What Blue Cat IS That?

SarahD, this link might help you.

It show the 4 main blue varities (korat, chartreux, british and russian)

and if you click on the menu that runs down the left hand side you see the individual differences in ears/body/eyes/head etc

I was at show in the summer and they had a blue special, with all four of these breeds.... I really enjoyed it.

There was a Dutch woman on the forum recently and she breeds a 5th variety of blue cats.... I just can't for the life of me remember what they were called... but they had THE most amazing greenish coloured eyes.

Azadeh Nebelung

this is the other blue breed I meant.... the NEBELUNG

this website is from the Dutch woman on petforum who breeds these cats, her forum name is Anke.

if you scroll down to the bottom of that page and that guy in the middle of the bottom row.... isn't he just to die for!!!! Those eyes!!!! They make me melt.

Not a problem, I have a very soft spot for BSH's. There's one advertised not far from me ( a chocolate one) and I've fallen in love. I would ring them up but for the fact I have thos appointment for the rescue tomorrow (it got moved as the newest kits only came in at 3pm today, and they think they might have a match for me)

no, lol, I only have two cats (and the frequent fosters, but they always go back to the shleter for rehoming). My two are, british blue and a BSH silver tabby -- both females and both snipped. We might get a british blue male in a couple of years time, he is my friends current stud cat, and hopefully when he retires at 4½ to 5 yrs old he will come to us, depending on if the ladies accept him. I have always dreamed about having a "proper" blue BSH male!! (you know with the big jowls and built like a pitt bull). I really must stop drooling. lol.
