Yezhovs

Yezhovs, also known as Yezhovi, are a breed of domestic cat originating from Russia. They are known for their distinctive appearance, with a short, dense coat that is typically black or blue-gray in color, and a distinctive "mask" pattern on their face. This pattern consists of a white "V" shape on the forehead, with a white stripe running down the center of the face, and a white patch on the chin.

Yezhovs are a relatively new breed, having been developed in the late 20th century through selective breeding of domestic cats. They are known for their friendly and affectionate nature, as well as their intelligence and adaptability. They are generally good with children and other pets, and are known for their ability to learn tricks and commands.

Yezhovs are typically medium to large in size, with males weighing between 8 to 15 pounds and females weighing between 6 to 12 pounds. They have a muscular build and a relatively short lifespan, with an average lifespan of 12 to 15 years.

Yezhovs are not recognized by any major cat registry, but they are gaining popularity among cat enthusiasts for their unique appearance and friendly personality. They are often referred to as "Russian Blue" cats, but this is a misnomer, as they are not related to the true Russian Blue breed.
