Yes they are 2 seperate breeds
The Russian blue is very Oriental in type with a wonderful tempermant and the British Blue is very cobby in type and less of a people cat

They look like 'pet quality' Russians, not very well bred, to me, which is probably why they didn't come with papers. They seem to have the Russian coat and green eyes, but their ears are dreadful for a Russian, (more like an oriental) they should have been hung on a clothes line by their ears when they were babies

Yes, that's Jenny, the lady to contact - she lives in Cumbria, but will have a nework of people helping with rescue.

Totally different in looks, coat and type - the only thing they have in common is the colour. British cats have very heavy, cobby, almost square bodies on thick short legs with big round, quite flat faces, chubby cheeks and small ears set wide apart and orange eyes.

By comparison the Russian is a foreign type cat, meaning it should be lithe and muscular, but not as 'skinny' as the Siamese and orientals, with long slim legs. Their heads are much longer than a British and the ears should sit right on top of the head almost vertically and they should have vivid green eyes.

Good morning Eileen, Ive never actually seen a real Russian but thought the coat and eyes looked right
