Here is a cat breed list of grey or blue cats, as they are affectionately called.
There are many people who love nothing more than a beautiful grey cat and that is no wonder. A blue cat is like a shadow - but can also shine like silver. There is nothing dull about an even grey coat of a beautiful cat. It is very elegant and brings out those marvelous eyes very well, no matter what the eye color. There are not that many blue cat breeds, and some say they all look similar. But they do not - if you look at them closely, they are quite different. Also their characters are different from one another. |
My first cat, Misu, was a grey tuxedo cat, a lovely "moggie" if you will. I remember when I was a child, how I admired the play of light on her lovely, soft grey fur. While she sat in the shadow, she looked like a shadow herself, but when she walked into the sunlight, or enjoyed a sun spot on the floor, her fur almost glistened. Because of her I shall always have a soft spot for grey cats.
The Korat cat is one of the oldest recorded cat breeds, and the Western world did not hear of its existence until very recently. Until then this treasure hid in the plains of Korat in Thailand, much appreciated by the local people. In its homeland it was considered to be a good luck cat - it brought good fortune to the house it was living in. Great care was taken to keep the cat happy and in the house, so it would not leave and take the luck of the household with it.
It has a sweet and loving personality but has its own opinions too. It is known for the silvery sheen of its coat - and those lovely green eyes... They are absolutely gorgeus, huge and expressive.

This book travels with the King Tut - Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh exhibition on his world tour of ten cities from March 2018 onwards |
Tutankhamun: In My Own Hieroglyphs tells the story, for older children, of the life and afterlife of the famous young pharaoh in his own words. Tutankhamun tells us about the trouble he got into as a child in Akhenaten's palace in the new city of Akhetaten, and how he became a boy pharaoh. As we learn, his life changed a lot when he died as a teenager, and long years of boredom started in his tomb with only his pet monkey Fingers and his treasure for company. He did meet some of the Egyptian gods, of course, and had fun scaring off tomb robbers, but it was mostly rather dull. Then one day, some new and strange people, including a Mr. Howard Carter, arrived and began to take all the treasures out of his royal tomb. Fortunately, through the eyes of his beautiful golden mask, Tutankhamun, could have fun again traveling around the world |
