The Russian Blue cat The Russian Blue is a shorthair cat. It doesn't need grooming, but it often enjoys being brushed and combed - because it has a pleasant time. The structure of the coat is something between plush and silk. It must not be too flat lying or long, but it must neither seem wooly. When you stroke a Russian Blue the coat should feel soft, but also resist a little. Previously it was said that the coat was comparable with sealskin. The colour of the coat is blue - this is blue-grey, and a medium blue colour is preferred. It is a great pleasure to show a Russian Blue that has a perfect coat, because many judges value this very much.

How To Style Maiden Braids Last month I did a makeover story with Kelsie and had many requests for a maiden braid tutorial. Yesterday she came in and we photographed these simple step by steps. Kelsie has extremely long and thick hair, but anyone with shoulder length or longer can do these braids (see my photo below for an example). Steps 1-2: Braid two strands on each side of a center part. Steps 3-5: Wrap braids around the crown of your head and pin in place with one pin each. Step 6: Arrange braids so that they cover the front of your head like a headband. Steps 7-8: Pull the rest of the hair into a ponytail and pin it into a cute messy bun. Step 9: Add final pins and spray.
