The Astronomer Spun His Brass Planets at Dawn and Stayed Calm
Green eyes shine from the smooth blue-gray face of a Russian Blue astronomer, framed by a golden tricorn hat decorated with crescents and stars and tied with a pink ribbon. A coat of cream silk is embroidered with golden moons, stars, and tiny planets, and a pink lace cravat spills at the neck. A pale pink cape with gold trim hangs from one shoulder. At his side stands a brass orrery with little blue and gold planets. The pink and cream backdrop, with its curtain tied by a golden tassel, makes it look like a bright dawn after a night spent counting stars.
Russian Blues are slender, elegant cats with short, silvery coats and brilliant green eyes. They tend to be gentle and a bit shy, and often bond closely with a small circle of people. Many love routine and are happiest in a calm home with regular mealtimes and playtimes. They are usually intelligent and enjoy puzzle toys and games of chase. Their dense, plush coat needs only weekly brushing. As with any cat, a yearly visit to the vet, a balanced diet, and plenty of enrichment help keep them healthy and happy.
The astronomer studies the heavens by night and naps through the morning. His greatest discovery so far is that the brightest star in the whole sky is the one right above the food bowl, and he has recorded that fact with a paw print.
