The Russian Tabby cat is a rare and graceful breed that shares its roots with the Russian Blue. While less common, it displays the same slender build, vivid green eyes, and calm personality—but with a striking tabby coat pattern instead of solid coloring. Some people casually refer to this variation as the Tabby Russian cat.

Russian Tabbies are quiet, affectionate, and highly intelligent. They tend to form close bonds with their humans and thrive in calm, predictable environments. Like their blue and black-coated relatives, they are reserved with strangers but deeply loyal to their families.

Their short, dense coat features subtle stripes or swirls and requires little grooming. A quick brushing once a week is enough to keep them looking sleek. Russian Tabbies are known for their cleanliness, soft voices, and peaceful personalities.

If you admire the elegance and loyalty of the Russian Blue but want a more unique coat pattern, the Russian Tabby cat offers beauty with a gentle heart.
