Nebelung Cat VS. Russian Blue Cat.

What are the differences between these two cat breeds?

The International Cat Association breed standard for the Nebelung calls for them to have a modified wedge-shaped head that is more pointed than rounded, although his long hair may give the head a rounded look. Large ears are wide at the base with pointed tips, and rich, deep-green eyes have a slightly oval shape and are set wide apart. Kittens may have yellowish-green eyes, but by the time they are two years old, they should have developed into the vivid green of maturity. The nose pad is charcoal gray.

A long, slender neck sometimes looks shorter than it actually is because of the Nebelung’s dense fur. The body is what’s called semi-foreign, meaning it is moderate in shape, falling somewhere between the short, compact body of breeds such as Persians and the sleek angles of Oriental breeds such as the Siamese. It is athletic but not bulky, with a medium-boned body that is well proportioned.

Russian Blue’s elegant yet muscular body led one cat judge to proclaim him the “Doberman Pinscher of cats.” He has what’s called a semi-foreign body type, meaning it is moderate in shape, falling somewhere between the short, compact body of breeds such as Persians and the sleek angles of Oriental breeds such as the Siamese. The Cat Fanciers Association breed standard for the Russian Blue calls for him to have a head that is a smooth, medium-size wedge shape with a blunt muzzle.

The broad wedge of the head and its flat skull are often described as cobra-like, although that is much too dangerous a description for this sweet-natured cat. Regal is perhaps a better term. Large ears are wide at the base with pointed tips, the interior lined with thin, translucent skin, and rounded vivid green eyes are set wide apart. A long, slender neck segues into high shoulder blades and a fine-boned body that is firm and muscular, covered with a short, thick double coat with a plush texture, often described as similar to that of a seal or beaver.

If you were to run your fingers through a Russian Blue’s coat, the patterns they made would remain until they were petted smooth. The body is supported by long, fine-boned legs set on small, slightly rounded paws with pads that are a pinky lavender or mauve shade. The tail is long but in proportion to the body.

We rescued a homeless cat two years ago and thought he looked like a furry Russian Blue. A year later we found out he’s a Nebelung. He’s such a gentle, loving baby. His name is Toby.

We had a stray young cat give birth in our garage and then abandoned them. Thankfully there was only two, any more that that it would have been hard to take care of. One was a tux and the other a nebelung. He fits all of the descriptions. He is so gentle and love to walk in a stroller or on a leash. One of my all time favorite cats.

I know this is kind of an old post but. My wife and I just found and rescued a set of twin boys, my wife and i found in a hedge. no sign of momma. so, we took the in. there about 8 weeks old; and a bit malnourished. but healthy for feral babies. their first vet visit is sat 10/19/24. the only way to tell them apart is one's Gus-Gus his coat is slightly darker grey, and Smokey's coat is the opposite. the faintest silver tips are starting to show in several places, their green pupils are starting to come in.

My husband and I adopted a beautiful Nebelung at a local shelter. We just thought she was a sweet cat with a gorgeous coat. She checks off many of the Nebelung's characteristics....especially the demands regarding her food!

I rescued a beautiful grey kitten at the proverbial "11th hour" from the humane society. That scrawny kitten has become a beautiful Nebelung...her name is Nimue.

[nicres]

Okay apparently my 11 year old Rufus is a Nebelung, not a Russian blue like the shelter said 🤯 no wonder.. I just thought he was an alien sent to keep me sane lol

[Miss_Kitty_Meow]

Oh 👀 I thought I had a long haired blue Russian but I’ve learned she’s a nebelung 😳

[denisbussiere]

We now have a Nebelung kitty (Chloé or Chléo) and we also had a Chartreux (Snoro). Similar personalities, playful, not aggressive, curious and intelligent.
