SIBERIAN CATS

These large, beautiful cats are as sweet, gentle, affectionate and playful as they are powerful. Originally from Russia, these longhaired beauties are hypo-allergenic due to a protein that is lacking in their system and which often is the source of allergies with other cat breeds. Siberian cats do not produce dander, which makes them an excellent choice for people who love cats but have an allergy to cat dander.

Description

Siberians tend to be large cats - males grow between 18 and 20 lbs, and females between 12 and

16 lbs. Siberians have a muscular mid-section and longer hind legs, making them powerful leapers. They have a dense coat and long, bushy tail which helped to keep them warm in the cold climates from which they originated. Despite it's length, the Siberian coat requires minimal grooming as it does not mat like other long-haired breeds. Siberian coats come in a wide array of colours: Calicos, Reds, Blues, and Browns to name a few.

Characteristics and Temperament

Siberians have terrific personalities and many dog-like character traits.

 They are very intelligent and affectionate pets. They adore their humans and thrive on kisses, cuddles and plenty of companionship.
