Looks like a Russian Blue to me.

I'm not sure, but it looks like a Russian Blue to me. Any other ideas?

Or a Chartreux or a British Shorthair (I think that's what it is
called). Or just a domestic. Blue is a dominant gene and many
domestic cats are blue, so it doesn't necessarily mean it's a
purebred. It looks like my cat (but of course my cat is better
looking, and I don't feed him Sheba!).

cover. My cat looks so much like that Sheba cat. Korats are all grey
with bottle green eyes. Gorgeous.

Nope. The Sheba cat is a blue British Shorthair. Russian Blues are much more
lithe. The little round head and the little ears above those round, copper eyes
are a dead giveaway. Russian Blues also have green eyes. I would guess the
Sheba cat is either a female or a neutered male, given the lack of jowls.

No, it's not a Korat. The face shape is wrong, and so is the fur quality. The
body type is also wrong, and so is the tail. The Sheba cat is a blue British
Shorthair, either a female or a neutered male due to lack of jowl development.

It doesn't look quite like a russian blue to me. It is similar but the face on
the TV cat is flatter. I am not an expert but I think this cat is the other
(european) blue and not the russian one. They are very similar though.
BTW, If you are considering a purchase I highly recomend the RB. We have
one and he is just like the books describe; Quiet, Calm, Affectionate, and
lots of thick pretty-colored fur. Of course, I may be biased since I have one.

Thank you! I have been wondering. Several people have thought it was a Russian
Blue. I was _pretty_ sure it was not since I have a Russian Blue and they
looked pretty different to me.
I gotta remember that, Korat, Korat, Korat.
BTW: Is your cat a Korat? If so, would you please describe their traits here?
Tempermant? Voice/Talkativeness? etc...

have the bottle green eyes.
On the side of the Sheba package is the address of the manufacturer. Why
don't you call them and ask for Customer Service. Tell them there is a
debate on Internet about this. They'll get a kick out of it. Then you
can settle it once and for all.
