In contrast to its aloofness, the origin of the Russian Blue Cat is also so magic. The Russian Blue cat is a naturally occurring cat species. It was born in the port of Arkhangelsk, Russia. Arkhangelsk is located near the mouth of the Severodvina River and is the capital of the Arkhangelsk region. Historically, it is a key port in Russia. After the 18th century, it declined due to the opening of St. Petersburg. In the 19th century, the railway connecting to Moscow was completed and it became the center of domestic sales of timber. During World War II, it was a Russian port where allied materials joined. Therefore, the coat color of Russian blue cats is also called "angel blue". There is evidence that this kind of cat is actually native to Russia, because cats of the same species have been found in cold regions of Russia. The Russian blue cat is also known as the "noble of short-haired species" and the "elf of winter". Russian blue cats came out of Russia in the 19th century. It is said that in the 1860s, Russian blue cats were brought to England and Northern Europe by sailors from the Akandir Islands.

In 1875, it was first registered as the Akande Cat at the Crystal Palace in England. It was not until 1912 that the Russian Blue Cat was given a formal classification compared with other types of Blue Cats, such as the British Blue Cat, the French Charlott Cat, and the Thai Korat Cat. The Russian Blue Cat has had three unique names: Achaian Blue Cat and Maltese Cat. It was not until the 1940s that it had its current name.

After World War II, Russian Blue cats began to be bred except in England and Scandinavia. Due to the suspension of communication during World War II, the bloodline of purebred blue cats was reduced, and the number of Russian blue cats shrank rapidly. So some breeders began to cross-breed Russian blue cats with Siamese cats to give the Russian blue cats some oriental appeal.

At present, the number of pure Russian blue cats in China is quite scarce, and it is not easy to get a pure Russian blue cat. Therefore, we must ensure the growth of pure breeds and avoid hybridization. How to protect the pure number of Russian blue catsThe number continues to decrease domestically.

The Russian blue cat landed in the United States in the early 20th century. Clinton Locke’s wife from Chicago purchased a Russian blue cat from the British. After World War II, Americans began to breed the so-called "modern Russian blue cats." The Havana brown cat is a modern blue cat with Siamese cat ancestry. Its coat color is close to the Havana cigar, and its appearance resembles a Persian cat. The only thing that is different from the Persian cat is that its hair is short and thick. And plush, the ideal exotic shorthair cat should have healthy bones, a well-proportioned body, and soft and graceful lines. Round eyes, a large and round head, a wide distance between the eyes, a short and thick neck, a short nose with a significant depression, a high nasal segment placed in the center of the eyes, and bulging cheeks. Jawbones are broad and powerful, with a thick chin. The thin round ears are slightly tilted forward, and the distance between the two ears is wider. It has large, round and thick claws, and its tail is short but proportional to its body, so it is called Havana brown cat. Another example is the Nibel Chinchilla, whose name comes from the German word "a creature as ethereal as fog and frost", which shows how beautiful its shape is. No Russian Blue cat lineage has ever remained in the gray and blue short-haired cat breed.
