This Georgian mansion, shrouded in captivating legends and stories, stands as a testament to Jamaica's plantation era. Marvel at the grandeur of the architecture as you tour the beautifully restored interiors, adorned with period furniture and elegant décor. Learn about the intriguing history of Annie Palmer, the White Witch of Rose Hall, and immerse yourself in the tales of the past. In addition to Rose Hall, Jamaica is home to other plantation estates open to the public, such as Greenwood Great House and Bellefield Great House. Also known as the Archangel Blue or Archangel Cat, the Russian Blue is a stunning feline, not to mention a marvelous companion. With soft, silky, short coats in various shades of silvery blue-gray, these kitties happily accompany their family members around the house, but are prone to hiding away when strangers visit.

The Russian Blue isn't much of a mischief maker.

It's true that these cats will get into things during their kitten years, but once you've gently taught them which surfaces are theirs to sit on and which should be left alone, they'll generally stick to approved areas. This isn't all they are capable of learning: Russian Blue cats are highly intelligent and will easily learn to open doors, play fetch, come when called, and more. This capability does not place them in the doglike cat category though because they can be skittish and shy, Russian Blue cats do not typically take to leash training.

They are far happier sticking to known quantities and spending time with their families. If you bring a Russian Blue into your home, you'll have a steadfast companion with a fondness for daily routines and gentle cuddles, along with a fairly strong opinion about everything that takes place in the household. While their families are away at work, these kitties will happily nap instead of looking for ways to entertain themselves. They do learn to get along with other pets and they can appreciate respectful children, but they don't need constant companionship.īeautiful, fairly self-sufficient, and friendly with people they've come to trust, Russian Blues make well-rounded pets and fit easily into a variety of living situations. With its incredible coloration, you might think that the Russian Blue cat was carefully developed by feline geneticists – but the truth is, this is a naturally occurring breed.
