Health Management for Russian Blue Cats
Russian Blues are remarkably healthy cats with exceptional longevity when properly bred and cared for
Bladder Stones (Urolithiasis)
ManageableRegular urinalysis recommended for breeding cats. Maintain proper hydration and balanced diet. Monitor pH levels. Some genetic predisposition exists, so select breeding pairs without history of urinary issues.
Obesity
PreventableRussian Blues have hearty appetites and can gain weight easily. Monitor body condition scores carefully. Select breeding cats with healthy metabolism. Educate owners about proper portion control and exercise needs.
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)
ManageableWhile less common in Russian Blues than other breeds, annual echocardiogram screening still recommended for breeding cats. Select from HCM-clear bloodlines. Early detection crucial for breeding decisions.
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA)
ManageableRare in Russian Blues but annual ophthalmologist examinations recommended. Select breeding pairs with clear eye examinations. Document any vision issues in bloodlines.
Dental Disease
PreventableRegular dental examinations and cleanings essential. Russian Blues can be prone to gingivitis. Select for good tooth alignment. Teach owners proper dental care from kittenhood.
Allergies
ManageableSome Russian Blues may have environmental or food sensitivities. Document any allergies in breeding lines. The breed's dense coat can trap allergens, requiring regular grooming.
Anxiety and Stress
ManageableRussian Blues can be shy and stress-prone, especially with change. Select for confident temperament. Proper socialization from birth essential. Avoid breeding overly timid cats.
Diabetes Mellitus
PreventableAssociated with obesity risk. Monitor glucose levels in older breeding cats. Maintain ideal body weight. Select breeding cats without diabetes history in bloodlines.

Russian Blues are one of the healthiest cat breeds with remarkable longevity and minimal genetic issues.
Key health advantages:
- Exceptional longevity of 15-20 years is common
- No breed-specific genetic diseases
- Lower allergen production benefits allergy sufferers

HYPOALLERGENIC CONSIDERATIONS
Lower Fel d 1 Production: Russian Blues produce less of the primary cat allergen protein
Dense Coat Advantage: Their plush double coat traps dander rather than releasing it
Individual Variation: Allergen levels can vary between individual cats
Not 100% Hypoallergenic: No cat is completely allergen-free
Always recommend potential owners with allergies spend time with Russian Blues before committing to ensure compatibility.
