History
Nebelung is a German word that means - creatures of the mist. In the early 1980s
in America, a black domestic cat gave birth to two shorthaired females and one
longhaired male. The father was an Angora mix. One of the shorthaired female
kittens produced a litter of kittens that included a blue semi-longhaired male
kitten. This kitten became the Nebelung's foundation cat.
Appearance
Barring difference between coat length, Nebelung is more or less simiar to
Russian Blue in Appearance. Whereas the Russian Blue's coat is short and dense,
the Nebelung's fur is medium-long, silky, and possesses a dense undercoat. The
bright blue color is contrasted with silver-tipped guard hairs and therefore the
coat catches the light, giving it a luminous, misty quality. Nebelung has an
angular, modified wedge-shaped head consisting of seven flat planes. Their eyes
are generally green colored. Kittens may have yellow eyes that deepen to green
as the cats mature.
Personality
Nebelungs are mild, soft-spoken, and gentle. They are generally reserved around
strangers, but make excellent, loving and playful companions to their owners.
They are extremely intelligent but their behavior is highly predictable.
