About the Nebelung
A relatively rare, naturally occurring longhaired variant of the Russian Blue type, developed in the United States in the 1980s. Slender and elegant, with a dense, silvery-blue semi-long coat and striking green eyes.
Temperament
Gentle and often shy with strangers, the Nebelung is deeply devoted and affectionate with its family once it feels comfortable, and prefers a calm, predictable home.
