It is believed that the Archangels originated from the Archangel isles in Northern Russia. These affectionate and loving cats have a very graceful appearance. Though at first sight they may seem to be of ordinary grey colored cat, when observed closely they have a special appearance which is exclusively related to this breed. They are available only on one color and that is blue. They have very thick short fur. The specialty of their fur is that if any design is etched on their fur it remains there till it is not smoothed out.
The hairs of the fur seem to be dipped in silver which gives a silvery sheen to its appearance. The eyes round, large and vivid green in combination with the blue shiny coat makes it look very appealing. The main attractive force which sets it apart from other cats is its loving and adaptable personality combined with a high degree of intelligence.
