Thank you for clarifying, your post was written as though Blue mix was some kind of breed. I have never, in my years on forums with pedigree cats and breeders heard any use the term Blue Mix to describe a possible breed.@missymotus, i apologize, i had assumed you read the OP's original topic and at least realized we were not on the color select page of the Crayola Crayon website, a common mistake, let me clarify for you.
On a cat site when folks refer to a blue we are referrencing a possible Russian blue mix, not a color, the breed, my fault in assuming you would not realize this.
Thank you, this is indeed what I was talking aboutWhen looking at an eye color of a cat that's supposed to have certain shade of green eyes when he grows up, you can tell by 12 weeks if the color will be correct (intensity aside).
Exactly, thank you! Also Russians don't just come in blue (over here at least)We do? I don't. There are self blue cats in many breeds - Persians, RBs, Korats, Burmese, British Shorthair, Orientals are the ones I can think of straight out. And, of course, there are many many moggies (non pedigrees) that are blue. A friend has one and in many ways he's a bit like a British Shorthair, but we both know he isn't. Nor also are all the blue kittens people post photos of here asking if they are an RB. Some of them look a little like an RB, but that's it. They are no more RBs than my friends cat is a (very) pet quality British Shorthair.
Also as a forum user for years I've seen time and again people confusing colours and patterns for breeds. Do you know how many think that tabby for instance is a breed?
