Siberian Cat History:

From Russia with love, the Siberian cat is a very hardy feline indeed. Indigenous to the harsh winter climate of Siberia, the Siberian cat breed evolved over centuries to become the big, healthy, beautiful felines we know and love today. Despite being around for eons, the Siberian cat was only recently introduced to the cat fancy. It was recognized as a registered breed in Russia only about 30 years ago, and North Americans have considered the Siberian a pure breed and given it recognition in the CFA only since the mid 90's.

Siberian Cat Appearance:

Medium to large and heavily boned, the Siberian cat is a muscular supercat with boundless strength and agility, able to take down any mouse in seconds flat. Also greatly blessed in the looks department, Siberian cats have a thick coat that is medium length, and grows longer or shorter depending on the season. In winter, the Siberian undercoat literally blooms, with pantaloons and a gorgeous neck ruff. Siberians come in an array of colors, ranging from grey tabby to orange tabby, chocolate to apricot. And let's not forget the Siberian's majestic fluffy tail, always held high in keeping with this breed's confident nature.

Siberian Cat Personality:

Siberian cats, as well as being strong and sturdy, are very much people-oriented cats. Forget the stereotype of the lofty, disdainful cat - Siberian cats love their people and they do this without being needy or clinging. They have very mellow personalities and adapt easily to new situations.

Siberians are truly the cat for all seasons, and as such, are very easy going and adaptable. Siberians love being part of the family, and are very companionable, without requiring constant attention. They are not adversely affected by noise, household turmoil, dogs and other pets, or rambunctious children, so are a good choice for both sane and crazy households. If you love cats but have cat allergies, a Siberian cat, with it's hypo-allergenic coat, may be a good choice for you as well.

Siberian Cat Prices:

Siberian cat prices vary greatly from breeder to breeder. They range from $500 to $2500, depending on whether you are purchasing a companion kitten, or a Siberian kitten that will be a show cat or breeding cat.
