NEBELUNG
The Nebelung is a new breed, intended to resemble a
long-haired Russian Blue. It is a slender cat with a
medium-long, silky blue coat. This breed is not widely
recognized.
Nebelung is a German word meaning 'creature of the mist'.
These cats are judged on the same standard as a Russian Blue
with the exception of their coat, which is mid-length with a
dense plumy tail.
The breed is still uncommon and mainly located in America,
but a small number of 'natural' long-haired Russian Blues |
have been discovered in Russia and there are a number of
breeders interested in developing the breed in their
theoretical homeland.
Description
The Nebelung is a long, fine-boned, graceful cat. Round
green eyes are prominently featured on a triangular head
with a blunt muzzle and erect, widely spaced ears.
The Nebelung's lustrous, silver-tipped gray coat is one of
its most distinctive features. Its fluffy tail distinguishes
the breed from the Russian Blue. |
