I am posting some websites that you might find helpful: http://www.tica.org/public/breeds/rb/intro.php, http://www.tica.org/members/publicat...andards/rb.pdf, http://www.russianblue.info/, http://russianbluebc.org/ http://www.cfa.org/client/breedRussianBlue.aspx and http://russianblue.org/cfa/cfanatpast.html.

I never knew this was such a popular breed . Learn something new everyday huh .

I think the second one may be a RB. The ears bigger than average, but still much a RB kitten look. Probably even a good RB (often difficult to see on kittens)

The first Im more hesitating for. If yes so "pet quality" as they say. Although it may be difficult to say in kittens, not seldom they do get better as adult. Both eyes (should be livid green!) can get better with time, and also this doom-alike skull can get more even.
But the fur seems OK. Not just grey "blue" but also a silvery shiming to it.


But remember. No papers, in american called for pedigree = no real purebreed.
And also pet quality RB "should" have papers.

If you have to ask then they probably aren't, a registered breeder will provide you with pedigree papers proving it's a Russian.

The first looks more of a Burmese type, the second slightly more Russian but not a US style - I'm not sure where you are located...

Even if they aren't Russian Blues they are both adorable

Meowsa, do you have pictures on the parents? THIS could help to decide.

Because apparently something with the papers isnt clear, otherwise you wouldnt ask, as someone noticed.
