Description
A stunning breed, the Russian Tabby is most prized for his soft, luxurious coat and brilliant emerald eyes. His coat is lustrous, plush and dense, making it extremely tempting to pet him for hours and hours on end. The thickness of this coat is so extreme that it lies away from his body, standing out to such a degree that you can trace patterns in it with your finger. These patterns will stay until you smooth his coat out for him. The head of the Russian Tabby is broad and wedge shaped. The Russian Tabby is a medium sized cat ranging from six to eight pounds. His rounded vivid green eyes are large and wide set. His profile is relatively flat. This feline has been described by some as always carrying a smile. His smiling appearance is caused by prominent whisker pads. His body is firmly muscled, but maintains much grace, as he is finely boned. His graceful carriage and clean lines add to the already regal appearance of this stunning breed.
