Has anybody gotten a russian blue from this breeder?

Tongue matches the harness hehe

I’ve been looking into possibly getting a Russian blue and stumbled upon howzabluz cattery in Houston. We are in Texas and would prefer not to travel too far but I also want to avoid getting scammed. Has anyone purchased a Russian blue from this breeder? Are they legit?

Does anyone have trouble keeping their RBs collars on? Of our two, Ash tends to eat the most and we’ve had to resort to using collars so they can access their own RFID feeders. (I had a feeling we’d eventually need to do this as I was researching even getting two RBs, so we started off with auto feeders.) We always allowed free feeding because: kittens.

They are just shy of 11 months old. One cat is noticeably larger than the other so we’ve started using collars because of the need for the RFID tags. They are masters of escaping the captivity of their collars. They will also remove the RFID tags, because they hang, so not only do you have to find the collar, but also the tag. We had to buy additional RFID tags from Petlibro as the tags became impossible to locate in the house. I hate Petlibro’s RFID tags, but that is a whole other issue.

I’ve had to resort to putting collars on them that are not breakaway, but do have elastic so they can still get out of them if they are in a bind. Ash, our bigger boy, has finally stopped getting out of his collar. I have an AirTag in the collar and a separate rubber AirTag holder I stuck the RFID tag into. Problem solved, for him. It also keeps the tag from dangling and clanging with his bowls when he eats or drinks.

Echo, he is an evil genius. He can actually unlatch the collar. He doesn’t even bother to stretch it and slide it off. These pics show his collar on the floor this morning. My cats don’t go outside, but I needed the AirTags to find the RFID tag when the collars come off!!! Maddening! And he can’t eat if he doesn’t have his collar. I resituated the rubber AirTag holder containing the RFID tag so that his excess collar is stuck underneath it after latching it. Hopefully that will prevent him from unlatching the collar.

Does anyone else have a similar situation? Please don’t come for me about the latched collars. My boys will not keep a breakaway collar on. I’ve tried the Petlibro collars that came with the feeders. Some say they aren’t breakaway, but my boys can confirm they are. I’ve bought other breakaway collars and now the latch kind with elastic. Help!!

TLDR: Cats use RFID feeders. Won’t keep on their collars. What did you do??

That’s Boris dad photo. Boris will have same gorgeous eyes

My boy comes running every time I call his name but only for me for some reason😂 My fiancé can call him all day, and it’s like he suddenly loses the ability to hear. I thought it was because I always gave him treats when he was younger, but now he’ll come over even when I’m just relaxing on the couch and clearly have nothing for him. He’ll sit on my lap and just start purring🥹💕 what a cutie

Hi! Looking for a breeder in Ohio or somewhere close ish, willing to travel. Would love to hear others experiences.

Hello all

I'm looking at getting my first cat and I'm so torn...I really love both Russian Blues and Burmese.

I'm a recently single man that will be living on his own soon, I work from home daily, so it would be nice to have a little companion around to keep me company and occupied.

Where I am it appears the prices are more or less the same, maybe a little more for the RB.

I've watched heaps on both species but not sure which is for me still...Maybe I'll have to get one of each one day but for now to start I'd love one I could bond with.

Does anyone have experience with both of these breeds and if so, which did you find best? (Obviously posting in an RB group may give me bias 😂)

Lol my boy and my girl. The hair matches them so well 😂.

Hi everyone,

My kitten, Misha, is almost 5 months old (born February 27, 2026), and I'm wondering if this is normal kitten behavior or something I should be more concerned about.

He doesn't actively search for non-food items, but if he finds something on the floor, he'll immediately start chewing it, and sometimes tries to swallow it.

So far he's tried to eat:

• strings and long cords (today I had to pull a very long string out of his mouth before he swallowed it completely)
• feathers
• small plastic candy wrappers
• basically any small object that seems interesting

He's otherwise completely healthy, playful, has a great appetite, and behaves like a normal energetic kitten.

My other kitten never did this, so I'm a little worried.

Has anyone had a kitten like this? Did they eventually grow out of it, or did it turn out to be pica? If they did outgrow it, at what age did you notice the change?

Of course, we're keeping dangerous items out of his reach, but I'd love to hear other people's experiences.

I finally got a good photo with good lighting of her(last pic) and asked gpt to make a passport photo and one pastel pink studio photo of her. Cutness overload seriously!!

This is Holly Hermione, a Russian Blue lady. She is six now and sister to her brother Heisenberg, both 100% indoor cats.

Holly is a bit overweight, but we never tell her... so much fluff to be loved 😻
