Nebelung

Cat breed profile

The Nebelung cat is a graceful and elegant breed with a distinctive long, silky blue coat and striking green eyes. Originating in the United States in the 1980s, the breed was developed to resemble the Russian Blue but with a longer coat. Known for their gentle and reserved nature, Nebelungs often form strong bonds with their owners and enjoy quiet companionship.

They require regular grooming to maintain their soft coat and moderate daily play to stay healthy and engaged. This breed adapts well to indoor living and is suitable for apartment dwellers. While generally calm, Nebelungs appreciate interactive play and mental stimulation.

Ideal owners are those who appreciate a moderately active yet affectionate cat that enjoys a peaceful home environment. With proper care and attention, the Nebelung can be a delightful and loyal feline companion.
