Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / August 2007Russian Blue Phantom
A cyberfriend's parents bought a 1 year old blue. He was outgoing and friendly at the breeders. They got him home and he escaped to the garage where he hid for 2 days (came out at night for food). They dismantled the garage, found him and put him in his own room with all the accompaniments. He disappeared. While looking, he apparently escaped to the garage again. We suggested all kinds of things. She even has a picture of her dad with a box of Kentucky Fried Chicken, blowing the scent into the last nook he saw the cat peek out of. Well, finally, they got him back int he bathroom, found the hole he had hidden in and closed it up. He now is getting better about them and comes for pets and things, but often goes and just sleeps in the open cupboard on towels. They have decided to name him Phantom. I don't know why he turned so skittish, but maybe he is just testing their training capapbilities. Oh hell. You have GOT to see this picture. I downloaded it so you can see. http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m267/chupie_2006/phantom2.jpg Here is the Phantom himself, in a photo snapped the first night with a camera they set to take pics every 10 minutes. Came out pretty good for a stealth shot. http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m267/chupie_2006/phantom.jpg Most Russian Blues that I have had the honor to deal with all have been very skittish but once they know you there is not getting rid of them.

She disappears into her own personal black hole every time the doorbell rings. Sometimes she hides when it's only me, coming home from work. Since I've known her from birth, I know she has never been abused in any way. She probably learned this behaviour from her mother, but Kira has also been a pampered housecat since birth, so why is she so shy? No one knows. > Oh hell. You have GOT to see this picture.

That looks a pretty well-trained slave already. > Here is the Phantom himself, in a photo snapped the first night with a > camera they set to take pics every 10 minutes.

I assume it wasn't flashing every 10 minutes - that would definitely unnerve to poor boy. Joyce > A cyberfriend's parents bought a 1 year old blue. He was outgoing and > friendly at the breeders.

He feels nervous in a strange place. Given time and attention, he will probably adjust to his new home. Best wishes . MLB > He is beautiful and looks Siamese to me.

Smokey has passed for a Russian Blue to several people who have seen pix of him taken from angles that hide his white patches. And that boy is much leaner in the face than Smokey. --Fil >A cyberfriend's parents bought a 1 year old blue. He was outgoing and >friendly at the breeders.

He sounds like he'll eventually settle in well, with such doting slaves. Purrs that it happens soon. >A cyberfriend's parents bought a 1 year old blue. He was outgoing and >friendly at the breeders.
