The statues que and regal Russian Blue is a standout in any environment. Once you’ve taken in his elegant structure, the next thing you notice is the amazingly dense, silver-tipped coat, paired with emerald green eyes that look deeply into the souls of admirers. It adds up to a majestic creature definitely worthy of the opulent royal palaces of the czars of Russia.
Gentle cats that are somewhat shy nature around strangers, Russian Blues are devoted to and affectionate with their loved ones. They are very sensitive to their owner’s moods, and will greet you at the door, find a quiet seat next to you, or fetch a toy at playtime, somehow knowing instinctively what you want of them. “Fetching” is a favorite pastime for Russians and their owners. However, pull out the vacuum cleaner, and your Russian will quickly find a safer and quieter location. Relatively soft-voiced (except perhaps at mealtime), the Russian Blue appreciates a pat on the head, a window from which to watch the birds, and, of course, all the comforts of home. Minimal grooming is required: regular nail clipping, good nutrition, an occasional combing, and lots of petting, keep your Russian Blue pet looking spectacular.

Genetic Pleiotropy and the Risks in Breeding Recessive Mutations
Nearly everyone loves what’s rare and unique. A slight defect in the minting process of a coin can create a demand and a value well beyond the face value of the coin. The coin is functionally no different than its perfectly minted counterpart, but its scarcity and uniqueness alone make it more desirable than the rest.
