Russian Blue Cats Are Full Of Purr-sonality, And It's Paws-itively Great

When I took in a stray kitten a few months ago, I did not know much about her besides the fact that she stole my heart.

As my boyfriend was driving by the food mart in the small town we were living in, we saw that there was a woman outside with kittens trying to find them homes. He told me that we would come back right after we stopped at the gas station to fill up the tank.

When we returned to the store, the woman and the kittens were gone, so I went inside and asked the cashier about her.

Once the cashier told me which house belonged to the woman, I walked over there and asked if she had any kittens left. To my surprise, she checked the sex of the kitten and handed her to me without asking any questions.

I wrapped her up in a blanket and carried her home with her looking at me the entire time. She has been very loving toward me since the beginning, her favorite place to nap is being curled up to my neck.


My boyfriend and I fell in love with her personality. Our other fur baby was unsure of her at first, but she quickly took her under her wing and began acting motherly toward her.

Our kitten is a five-month-old Russian Blue. The “blue” comes from their fur, which is a beautiful bluish-grey. They usually have big bright green eyes.

Russian Blues are very aware of their human's mood, which makes them quick to comfort you when you’re sad or curl up with you when you’re relaxed. They like the same amount of attention they give to their humans to be reciprocated.

These kitties are super playful, and they are exceptional at playing fetch. My little one took me by surprise when my boyfriend threw a ball down the hallway, and she came back with it in her mouth and proudly dropped it in his hand.

Later on, when doing research on my cat’s breed, I learned that it is a common thing among Russian Blues.

Loyalty and affection toward their humans being a couple of their best traits, they immediately become a part of the family once you bring them into your home.

It is also common for Russian Blue cats to wake their humans up first thing in the morning, ready to be fed. My girl crawls on top of my head around the time that I wake up and meows at me until one of two things happen...I wake up and pet her or she lays on top of me and takes a nap.

My Russian Blue kitty has been a little ray of light in my life since the day that we took her home with us.

Getting to know your cat’s personality and temperament is something that will benefit both you and your cat. It will make them feel more comfortable, which will strengthen your bond.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
