The Russian Blue Baron Was Never Late for Dinner
The baron holds up a gold pocket watch and glances out as if it is almost time. His green eyes glow against the soft blue-grey fur, and his small, neat face is calm and alert. He wears a brown velvet coat with gold braid at the edges, gold clasps across the front, and a lace cravat. A candle burns at the left, and the old paint is cracked in fine lines, giving the whole portrait a feeling of a long-kept family treasure. His paw is gentle on the chain, and the watch's tiny gears are painted in careful detail.
Russian Blue cats are known for their plush silvery coat, bright green eyes, and quiet, gentle nature. They are often reserved with strangers but deeply loyal to their families, and they appreciate a calm, predictable routine. Many enjoy play with feather toys and puzzle feeders, and they like to have a safe, high perch. Their short, dense coat sheds modestly and needs a brush now and then. As with all cats, fresh water, good food, and regular vet visits keep them healthy through the years.
Whatever the appointment is, the baron will be on time. We suspect it involves dinner. Cats rarely miss a meal, and this one has a watch to prove it. A baron of such punctuality deserves a sunbeam and a bowl of something tasty.
