Well, howdy there! You’re lookin’ for them fancy Russian Blue cats, eh? And in Michigan, of all places! Let me tell ya, findin’ one of them ain’t like pickin’ apples off a tree, no sirree. It’s a whole different kettle of fish.
First off, you gotta understand these cats ain’t your everyday alley cats. They’re Russian Blues, see? Means they got a fancy bloodline, like them rich folks in the city. And that means they cost a pretty penny. I heard tell they can go for anywhere between 500 and 1500 dollars! Can you believe it? That’s more than my old Bessie cost, and she was a good milker!
Now, if you’re lookin’ to buy one, you gotta find yourself a breeder. That’s someone who raises these cats special, like farmers raise prize-winning pigs, only fancier. There’s a bunch of ’em scattered around Michigan, you just gotta know where to look. Some folks say there’s some near Portage, Flint, and Pontiac. I ain’t never been to them places myself, but I heard they got all sorts of things there.
But hold on, it ain’t just about findin’ a breeder. You gotta make sure they’re a good breeder, see? You don’t want no shady fella sellin’ ya a sick cat, or one that ain’t a real Russian Blue. That’d be like buyin’ a pig in a poke, as they say. You gotta look for folks who know their stuff, who care about their cats, and who can show you the cat’s papers, like a birth certificate for a cat, I guess. They call it a pedigree.
- Check the cat’s pedigree. That’s its family tree, like them rich folks got, to make sure it’s a real Russian Blue.
- Look at the cat’s coat. It should be a real pretty silver-blue color, soft and shiny, like a fancy lady’s fur coat.
- See how old the cat is. Kittens are cute, but they need a lot of lookin’ after. Older cats are calmer, but might have some bad habits, like scratchin’ the furniture.
Now, if you ain’t got the money to buy one of them fancy cats, or you just feel like doin’ a good deed, you could always adopt one. There’s places where they keep cats that need homes. I ain’t sure what they call ‘em, shelters, maybe? Anyways, they got all sorts of cats there, and sometimes, you get lucky and find a Russian Blue. It’s cheaper, too, maybe only a hundred or three hundred dollars, and that goes to helpin’ them other cats. They even give ‘em shots and stuff, like when you take a kid to the doctor.
Adopting is a good thing, you know? Gives a cat a second chance, like givin’ an old dog a new bone. And them cats, they know when someone’s been kind to ’em. They’ll curl up on your lap and purr like a motor, and that’s worth more than all the money in the world, I reckon.
So, whether you buy or adopt, a Russian Blue cat, they are a rare breed, you gotta be prepared to take care of it. They need good food, a warm place to sleep, and lots of love. And they ain’t outdoor cats, you know? They’re too fancy for that. They like to stay inside, where it’s warm and safe. And they need toys too, like them little mice things, or a ball of yarn. Keep ‘em entertained, see? Otherwise, they might start clawin’ at your curtains, and nobody wants that.
Finding these hypoallergenic companions ain’t easy but it’s worth it. They got them green eyes, like emeralds, and that silver fur… They’re somethin’ special, alright. Just remember to do your homework, find a good breeder or a reputable shelter, and be ready to give that cat a good home. And you’ll have a furry friend filled with love and joy, purring on your lap in no time.
And that’s all I know about them fancy Russian Blue cats. Hope it helps ya in your search. Good luck, and God bless!
