I live in a very rural area in Kentucky and there are lots of stray animals running around unfortunately. I could go into detail about how my family has tried to help care for them over the years but I'll save you the sob stories, as I'm sure we're all of the same mentality here in terms of caring for abandoned animals.
About a year ago, whilst I was cleaning my car, I heard a kitten crying that seemed to be very far off. I looked around the property for a few minutes trying to find the source but was unable. A few days passed and I heard the cries again. This time I had my mother help me and what we ended up finding was an almost starved to death gray colored kitten with beautiful green eyes. Needless to say, we were shocked to find such a small kitten in such horrible condition so we finally managed to lure her in with food and milk. Once we got her cleaned up, fed and back to good health, she quickly warmed up to us and the result is now the newest edition to our family. Everyone, meet Kitty!

I didn't know too much about cat breeds but I was amazed with how intelligent Kitty was. She seemed hesitant to meet strangers but was very loving and playful with the people in the house she come to know. She also happens to be the best hunter I've ever had in my life. Birds, mice, ground moles, etc all meet an untimely demise thanks to Kitty's hunting prowess. My aunt then brought up the point that she believed Kitty was a Russian Blue and that they were a rare breed of cats. At first I was hesitant to believe this, because where we live, if anyone has a rare breed of cat, they certainly aren't letting it run around loose, but after some research, I do believe she IS a Russian Blue...
Now I don't know a lot about cats, as previously stated, as far as breeds go, but the information I've found has lead me to believe she actually is one. I'd like to get some feedback though, so if any of you could help me identify what kind of cat she is, I'd be greatly appreciative. I'll include a couple more pictures of her so you can get a better look. At the end of the day, I don't care if she is a Russian Blue or not... as she is now the baby of the family and we love her regardless. I'd just like to know one way or another, so again, any feedback would be appreciated.
