An ancient Russian Fairy-tale tells the story of how seven fairies gathered around the cradle of a princess with their gifts. One gave her a fearless spirit, another a loyal heart, a third said she would be slim and beautiful all her life, the fourth that her every movement would be graceful, the fifth said she would always wear silver, silk and velvet, the sixth brought her two huge emeralds and the seventh said she would find friends wherever she went in the world.
However, these fairies were rather young and inexperienced at bestowing gifts and they could not believe this tiny red screaming baby would ever grow into a beautiful princess. So they gently placed their gifts in another crib where there was only quiet purring. And that is how the Russian Blue came to be such a particularly beautiful and gifted cat!
