Blue is a naturally occurring color in cats . A Russian Blue is a specific lineage traced through pedigrees with specific traits . People try to label things in ways that put things in nice neat boxes . It ' s human nature . There are about 15 breeders in the entire country . The chances of finding one that isn ' t microchipped is slim to none . Finding one with yellow eyes and a locket would indicate as well this is not a Russian Blue . That being said , every cat deserves love and is special no matter if they are a ' domestic shorthair ', a show cat Persian , a Russian Blue or anything else in between . Your lil cat looks adorable and cuddly . Label him as ' yours for life ' and call it good . They don ' t care about labels , only a lifetime of love and commitment .
