Russian (cat)



During the early 1970s, Mavis and Dick Jones, Russian Blue breeders in Australia, mated a domestic white cat with a Russian Blue with the intent to create a solid white Russian Blue. By the late 1970s, the Russian White and Russian Black colors were accepted by cat fanciers in Australia as Russian cats with full registration and championship status with the two national bodies ACF and CCCA.

Since then the whites and blacks have achieved full championship status in New Zealand and South Africa plus a few smaller registries in Europe, and provisional status in other countries as well.

Many countries still only recognise the blue coloured Russian, the Russian Blue , for full registration.

The Russian White, Black and Tabby are regularly shown in the countries where they have full registration.
