4798.0. "RUSSIAN BLUE!" by STRATA::BOUSQUET () Wed Jul 17 1991 13:31

    Good Afternoon!
    
    Would anyone in the Massachusetts area have any information about
    Russian Blue cats?  I prefer short haired cats and so far these cats
    have the best personality I have ever seen in a cat.  Ours just got
    killed by a car a month ago and we want another one.
    
    Any information will be helpful!
    
    Thank you,

    Sharon,
    
    Pennie Greene, Meowsky Russian Blues, Arlington, MA.  She works here at
    DEC (I think she still works here!).  Try looking her up in Elf.
    (Penelope Greene).
    
    A warning though:  Pennie will make you sign a contract requiring that
    the cat be kept indoors only to ensure it's safety.
    
4798.2Korats are an option....as well as ChartreuxDACT6::COLEMANULTRIX-ee in TrainingWed Jul 17 1991 16:1721
Two other short haired  cats, similar to a Russian Blue, or
the Korat and Chartreux. I personally have a Korat, and will
be breeding this fall. Since I'm prejudiced about my Korat,
of course I'm going to promote her! ;^) Chartreux are just
as beautiful, but I'm partial to blue/silver-blue cats!

Also, ALL Korat breeders (not sure about Chartreux) will make you
sign an agreement stating that the cat will be indoor, and not
declawed.

I just happen to have my "Cat Fancy" at work today. There is a 
cattery in Buffalo, NY listed for Russian Blues, but that doesn't
mean there aren't some in your area.

There is a cat show in Mansfield, MA on August 10-11 (CFF),
August 24-25, Merrimack, NH (CFA) - Good times Roller Skating Center;
they might have some Russian Blue breeder!

Hope you find what you're looking for!

    Having two Korats, I have to put in my "two Korats worth" :-)
    They have terrific personalities, and have that beautiful
    silver-blue coloring.....

    You can find Penny Greene's phone number in Cat Fancy in the breeder's
    directory.  If you have trouble finding it let me know via Vaxmail 
    and I'll send it to you.
    
    I have been to Penny's cattery and I can vouch for her cats.  Her
    place is immaculate and her cats are all very healthy, happy and
    well cared for.  Ask her about "Hopey cat" - her russian blue alter.
    Hopey has been quite a star at some of the CFF shows I've been at.
    Certainly a cat I don't mind losing to.  And Penny is the sort
    of breeder you want to do business with.

    p.s. I bought some used cages and cage curtains from her to use for
    my own cats so that should give you an idea of how much I trust the
    health of her cats.
