He is definitely adorable. c:

I don't know how hypoallergenic they are, though. My boyfriend has very mild cat allergies and he tries not to pet Dimitri and then rub his eyes as they get watery and itchy. But Dimitri is very likely not full Russian Blue, so maybe he's just not as allergen-free as a pureblood. I know my Santa Fe Grama has a pureblood Russian Blue and she seems a bit less prone to shedding. And someone I knew in high school got a pureblood Russian Blue, but not because of the allergy factor (no one in his family was allergic, they just liked the breed and had money to blow getting a pureblood cat for 3k).

That being said, I agree with Loren. Any kind of pet is likely to stress you out these days. Particularly one who might need to be walked (like a dog) or their litter box cleaned (cat) or one who talks, loudly, to you all the time (she types, as her cat meows at her from the door). Also, in your teensy little apartment any animal larger than a mouse is likely to take up more space than you really have room for.

But if you do get a kitty someday and it's a Russian Blue, you should let me know about the hypoallergenic-ness of it! Because it would be neat to know if that's actually a real thing.
