This evil-eyed ball of fur and fishbreath is a semi-longhaired Russian Blue, otherwise known as a Nebelung (sic).
The breed was initiated in the 1980s with the coupling of Siegfried and Brunhilde - in true Wagnerian fashion, brother and sister. Neither is still with us. Unlike their operatic namesakes, Brunhilde died of unknown causes and Siegfried was run over in a parking lot.
