I have a cat that looks very similiar to a russian blue, and I have researched the breed, and my Smokey Joe fits ALL the criteria for a russian blue. Only thing is, his mama is a multicolored tabby cat..father unknown. I found an article that said something about the Russian Blue being a "naturally occuring" breed...I am not sure what that means; does that mean the breed can occur "randomly" without breeding? Could my beloved friend really be an actual Russian Blue, or just a just a Russian Blue looking mut?

Your cat is a very beautiful lookalike. To be a real Russian Blue both parents would have to be Russian Blue. And thier parents etc...
A natural occuring breed means that the cats were found in existence and were not two or more different breeds mixed to create a new breed.
I hope this helps.
