Hi - I thought it was time to introduce Sam to the gang here. He's about 6 years old. We adopted him a year ago. He has lovely dense semi-long hair, with a very impressive mane in the winter. His legs stay short haired, and have a silvery glow. After too many people asked "what kind of cat is he", I decided to start looking for the answer. I've decided to call him a Nebelung, partly because it is so exotic, most people have never heard of that breed. I usually just refer to him as a long haired Russian Blue.
He gave us quite a scare when he first moved in - he seemed happy to live with us, but didn't like the food, or the routine, or both, and virtually quit eating.
He is fine - no lasting health effects, although he was too thin. However, he is now quite a spoiled kitty - I can't go shipping without buying a new treat (toy that is, he is not much of a food treat kind of cat).
This summer I started taking him outside on a harness and leash, and now he has me trained - every evening at 6:00 we go outside for about an hour, then we race inside to have a new fresh serving of yummy wet cat food.
