Although Nebelung cats gain their full recognition as a breed in 1997, they are still rare breed, widespread through European countries like France, Germany, and Italy in spite of its American origin. It is easy to mix up Nebelung cats with Russian Blue. Indeed, they originated from Russian Blue and can outcross with them, but they represent unique breed. Nebelung cats have long, dense, and silky fur, unlike Russian Blue coat, which is short and not so rich or soft. These two cat’s breeds show, also, some differences in their temperament. Thus, Nebelung cats are affectionate and lively, but not so easy going, as are Russian Blue cats. Russian Blue cats are more open, expressive, and loving creatures. However, for those who like elegant, soft, and mystical appearance of Nebelung cats, they are the best match.
