I got Boris last October from the animal shelter. Both the vet at the animal shelter and my vet thinks he is a true Russian Blue. The animal shelter vet thinks that he was tossed out by an unscrouplous dealer. I am not so sure that he is a purebred because of his facial features. He has the typical Russian Blue double coat and mauve-colored footpads. His eyes are not the dark green that I have seen but they are still changing colors. When the sunlight hits his eyes, they still look somewhat golden. I think that he may be a mix but the vets think that he was dumped by a dealer whose concerns were about show quality and money.
