GETTING TO KNOW ME
Sugar is a gorgeous girl but she is so much more than just a pretty face! Sugar is quite the extrovert with a dash of spice for excitement and to keep you on your toes. She can be a BALL OF ENERGY with a strong desire to interact with people.
Sugar eats Orijen 6-fish cat kibble and loves the stainless steel water fountain for fresh water. She has great bathroom habits and uses a large hoodless litter box with unscented scoopable litter.
Looking for a breed known for brains and for beauty? Look no further than the Russian Blue. Known as a very clever cat, these elegant silvery-grey shorthairs have emerald-green eyes that darken with age and radiate with intelligence and an exotic face that appears to be smiling. They are easy to care for, easy to live with, and while they may appear shy at first acquaintance, they quickly blossom into friendly, affectionate companions once they get to know you.
Russian Blues require very little in the way of grooming. Combing two or three times a month will help keep shedding under control and aside from that, you need only keep the claws trimmed and the eyes and ears clean. Occasionally, a coat may become oily or greasy and benefit from a bath.
Every closed cabinet, every shut drawer, even sealed canisters or jars represent a tempting challenge to a Russian Blue; owners should never be surprised to find an unexpectedly open door, drawer or jar. They love stimulating puzzle toys as well as interactive games. However, they are also loving companions.
Best suited to quieter environments, it is typical for a Russian to hide under the sofa when a guest enters the house, but soon its natural curiosity will take over and it will come out to investigate the newcomer.
Sugar will need a cat savvy home. She gives very clear signals when she is feeling over stimulated and can get swatty if you aren't respectful. Touching her tail is a hard no! Leaving her to entertain herself with balls and such won't be enough, she will need human interactive play. When interacting with Sugar, itās positive reinforcement only! She works well with redirecting swatting with a wand toy.
She will need a single room to start out in, often referred to as "basecamp" with slow introductions and expansion of space at her pace.
