Care through the year
Spring
Ask your vet about flea prevention. Lilies arrive in spring bouquets: keep them out of the house.
Summer
Never leave a pet in a parked car. Walk in the cool of the day; hot pavement burns paws.
Autumn
Shut windows and check the dryer before running it: cats like warm hiding places.
Winter
Antifreeze is sweet and deadly: clean up spills. Keep holiday lilies and tinsel away.

The Russian Blue cat (Russian: Русская голубая кошка, romanized: Russkaya golubaya koshka), commonly known as the Russian Blue, is a pedigreed cat breed characterised by a solid blue coat that has been the breed’s defining feature for over a century. The Russian Blue breed is accepted for registry and holds championship status with all major international cat registries. It is a short-haired breed noted for its dense, plush double coat of pale blue-grey fur with a distinct silver sheen, and for its bright emerald green to yellow-green eyes.
