The Siberian cat is an ancient, breathtaking breed that originated in Russia. A forest cat, Siberians sport luxurious triple coats to protect against the cold. These furry cats have an outgoing and affectionate personality, making them exceptional companions.

They enjoy the company of other cats and dogs, and they love playing with gentle, respectful children. As long as you can attend to their grooming needs, the Siberian can be the perfect addition to your household. They get along with almost any pet or human, even children, but they do take 5 years to mature, so be prepared for kitten antics to last longer than they do in other breeds. This breed loves to climb, explore, and play. Be sure to keep your Siberian cat mentally stimulated and physically enriched.

Most cat-allergic people are sensitive to a protein called FelD1, which is found in cats’ fur after they lick themselves.1 It seems that some cat breeds, including Siberians, produce less FelD1 than other cats.

For mild allergy sufferers, this might mean that Siberian cats elicit little or no allergic reaction.

The Siberian cat is highly adaptable to any environment and will be happy to spend most of their time indoor, but they will also need outdoor time for mental stimulation and exercise.

As with most cats, they can be left alone for a short amount of time, but it’s recommended to avoid leaving your cat alone for more than 24 hours.

Siberian cats have water-repellant coats and actually enjoy water. Don’t be surprised if your Siberian pal tries to join you in the shower! In fact for many of our cats and kittens bathroom is the most favourite place to hang out!
