My Lola is the same way...double coat, slate nose, completely solid blue...but green gold eyes. If they had told me she was a Russian Blue, I wouldn't have believed them (since my whole understanding of purebreds is basically that being an offical purebred comes from parentage and certification, not looks or traits) but I would have understood if we had sort of marketed her as such. Personally, I will never be owned by a cat who is not a rescue, but that's me. I am attracted to the breed DS/M/LH, I think they are lovely, wonderful kitties.Originally Posted by laureen227
i used to tell people that my Mouse was not a Russian blue, because she wasn't [saw her mother!] but she did have a thick, plush, double coat like a Russian Blue's. her eyes were wrong, tho - not that beautiful emerald, but a beautiful golden-green shade. i didn't care - she was beautiful! i chose her for appearance, because i think blue cats are lovely - but i loved her for her personality. if i had had to describe her for adoption, i would've called her a DSH with a double coat.
