The Russian White Cat breed was officially developed in Australia in the 1970s when breeders introduced white domestic cats carrying recessive coat genes into the Russian Blue lineage. The goal was not to create an albino cat, but a genetically white Russian cat with the same intelligence, temperament, and plush double coat as the Russian Blue.
