Learn about the breed. The Russian Blue is a type of purebred or pedigree cat. The origins of the breed are unknown, but it is believed they originated in the Archangel Islands in North Russia. The weather there is extremely harsh in winter, which is why the Russian Blue developed such a thick, plush coat for insulation.

From written records it seems certain that the domestic cat first arrived in Japan from China or Korea at least one thousand years ago.
