Today is SPCA Thursday, but it poured here in Dallas all night and all morning. So all the puppies were very sad to find out that they couldn’t go out into the thunderstorm to play. Willie was also sad, so he decided to go back to bed – great sleeping weather!
I spent my morning inside, photographing some cats in need of a good home. They were so sweet, most of them started purring when I opened the door to their kennel, ready to get a good rub down!
Have you guys ever pet a Russian Blue cat? They are so soft and so fine…they are beautiful. Meet Neassie (pronounced: Knee-see), a Russian Blue Mix who was rescued from an animal shelter in Georgia - but now happily lives here in Texas.
I didn’t know much about Russian Blue’s so I decided to do a little research. From what I’ve found it seems these cats are very gentle, affectionate, and easily recognizable from other breeds. The most outstanding feature is it’s dense, even coat. The coat is a deep blue color and it looks like each hair has been dipped in silver. This is where they get their silvery sheen. Another characteristic of a Russian Blue are the large, rounded, wide-set eyes that are vivid green. So beautiful against the silvery coat.
If you ever meet a Russian Blue be sure to pet them. Neassie was so sweet and purred through the entire photo shoot!
