This breed is usually very people focused, intelligent, and quietly assertive. Many form a strong bond with one person, follow them around the home, and do not appreciate being ignored. They are playful and active but generally not hyperactive, and they like to be involved in daily routines.

They can be excellent family pets if children are gentle and respectful, since these cats do not enjoy rough handling or loud chaos. They often prefer calm, predictable households and may bond most closely with one or two people. With proper introductions, they can live with other pets, but many dislike being dominated by more boisterous cats or dogs.

This breed is naturally a solid blue with silver tipping on each hair, which gives a distinctive shimmering effect. The coat is short, close lying, and single layered, so it feels smooth and fine rather than plush. Breed standards generally do not recognize other colors, which helps distinguish them from similar looking blue cats.

The short, single coat is low maintenance and usually needs only weekly brushing to remove loose hair and distribute skin oils. They do shed, but often less than many double coated breeds. Regular nail trimming, ear checks, and dental care are more important than extensive coat work.

The breed is generally healthy but is known for a hereditary condition called gangliosidosis, a serious nervous system disease that reputable breeders screen for with genetic tests. Some lines may also show issues common in many cats, such as dental disease or heart conditions, so routine veterinary checkups are important. Choosing a breeder who tests breeding cats and shares results is essential for this particular breed.

They are athletic, agile cats that enjoy climbing, short energetic play sessions, and interactive toys that challenge their intelligence. Vertical spaces like cat trees, window perches, and puzzle feeders help keep them stimulated. Without enough mental and physical activity, they can become vocal, demanding, or frustrated.

They adapt very well to indoor life and often do better as indoor only cats due to their rarity and value in many countries. Safe outdoor time in a secure catio or on a harness and leash can be enriching, but unsupervised roaming increases the risk of accidents and infections. Their strong attachment to people means they are usually happiest wherever their family is.

They are not usually as loud as some oriental breeds but tend to communicate clearly with soft to medium meows and chirps. Many use their voice to get attention, request play, or express displeasure if routines change. A talkative individual is common, but constant loud vocalizing is less typical and may signal boredom or a health issue.

A relatively calm, stable home where daily interaction is guaranteed suits them well. They thrive with people who are often at home and willing to engage in play and gentle handling. Very noisy, unpredictable households or long stretches of isolation can lead to stress and unwanted behaviors.

This breed typically has a heart shaped head, large luminous green or amber to green eyes, and a more muscular, semi‑cobby body. The coat is short and close with pronounced silver tipping, while some similar breeds have denser double coats and different head shapes. Pedigree papers from a recognized registry are the most reliable way to confirm that a cat is truly of this breed.
