Impure blue cats often exhibit characteristics such as having fur of other colors, disproportionately short body parts, and less thick fur. Purebred blue cats, on the other hand, have a beautiful physique and adorable appearance. This often leads to unscrupulous sellers trying to pass off inferior cats as purebreds, deceiving consumers. To avoid being misled, it's best for pet owners to familiarize themselves with the characteristics of purebred blue cats and carefully inspect them before purchase.
Blue cats, one of the oldest known cat breeds, are beloved for their blue-gray fur and copper-colored eyes. Due to their popularity, many breeders sell impure cats for profit. Impure blue cats can have distinct traits, such as other colors in their fur, disproportionate body part sizes, and incorrect eye colors. Careful observation is essential when selecting a blue cat. Furthermore, blue cats can be either British Shorthair or Russian Blue, so it’s crucial to know each breed’s specific characteristics before making a choice.
How to Identify a Purebred Blue Cat
1. British Shorthair Blue
British Shorthair Blue cats have round faces, well-developed cheeks, large round eyes, and typically orange-yellow pupils. Their fur is blue-gray, and they have stocky limbs.
2. Russian Blue
Russian Blue cats have more pointed heads with slightly protruding muzzles, large ears that are spaced apart, and almond-shaped eyes, usually green. They appear more slender than British Shorthairs, with less stocky limbs. Their fur is primarily blue-gray and short, with other colors being rare.
