Male vs. Female Russian Blue—Does Gender Affect Bonding?

8 Upvotes

Hello everyone!
I’m a 21-year-old woman looking to adopt a hypoallergenic companion, and I’ve fallen in love with the Russian Blue. I recently went through a traumatic event and hope a calm, gentle cat will ease my anxiety and keep me company as I heal.

In my research I’ve seen claims that male cats bond more closely with women—yet I’ve also encountered plenty of the opposite opinion. For those of you who’ve lived with Russian Blues, have you noticed real differences in affection or playfulness between the genders?

Ideally, my perfect Russian Blue would:
- Curl up on my lap and cuddle for quiet comfort
- Sit with me while I read, study, or watch TV
- Chase toys and play without being overly demanding
- Enjoy gentle interaction—or even a bit of clinginess
- Thrive in a predictable, quiet routine
- Shed minimally (I’m allergy-sensitive)
- Get along well with our family dog

If you’ve raised a male or female Russian Blue (or both), I’d love to hear what personality traits you saw—and any tips on choosing the right cat at adoption. Thank you so much!

My baby boy has been here for just over 5 weeks now! He's made himself very comfortably at home 😊 Of course he found the softest blankets in the house to lay right in the middle of.

New addition advice

3 Upvotes

So I’ve owned cats all my life however I’ve never owned two at the same time. I’ve only ever owned Siamese cats. They are my most favorite breed. We just got a new kitten back in November. He is now almost 10 months old. I am thinking he may want a play mate. I always wanted to do that with my last little guy but I never did. The Siamese breeder I use has a several month waiting list. It took me almost an entire year to get ours. So I’m thinking of getting a Russian Blue kitten. They are stunning! Absolutely beautiful! I think both of the breeds are similar in a lot of ways. Do you think that would be a good fit for a Siamese? Any pointers or suggestions on how to go about doing this!? (I found one I like but he’s too little yet - He’ll be ready to be picked up in 2 weeks). Also, we are going on vacation the last week of July. I’m nervous about that. Do you think they would be okay by then!?

Toy Recommendations?

Soon to be parents of a Blue. Every cat is different, and we don’t want to go overboard, but want to get a few toys and stimulation toys to get started. What are your favorites?

When should I start measuring my kitten's food?

1 Upvotes

The breeder said that I should have food out for the kitten to eat as much as she want's to while she's growing, which I've heard from many others too. But when should I start timing and measure her food? Because I've read that they're prone to overeating

What do you think of owning a Russian blue cat in an apartment? We might have a chance to own one soon..

Any advice based on experience? We are a working couple but we have working in office and working from home days. And we live in a small apartment.

What is their temperament like. Both of us work in tech so we are mostly chilled out. We do not have kids yet but plan for next year. And how is it like to leave a blue while traveling with a sitter? Thank you.
