A Brief Introduction to the Siberian Cat
from Russia

The Siberian cat is the forest cat of Russia and Siberia. Prior to the fall of communism, the Siberian was not allowed to be imported to other countries. Finally, when communism relinquished its hold on Russia, the Siberian came to the US as an exchange for four American-bred Himalayan kittens. In June of 1990, after over a year of calls, letters, and paperwork complicated with language barriers, slow mail, and many other problems, Elizabeth Terrell was able to import three Siberian kittens. Elizabeth had seen an article asking for breeders who would donate or trade Himalayans to help establish the breed in Russia. She was able to work out the trade and received one male (Kaliostro Vasenjkovich) and two females (Ofelia Romanova and Naina Romanova) kittens. Since then, many other kittens have been imported by many of the American breeders to increase the genetic diversity available.

The Siberian is a large, massive, strong cat which takes up to 5 years to mature. A recent survey of the members of TAIGA Siberian Breed Club revealed that the males range from 12 to 22 pounds and the females 8 to 12 pounds with the alters ranging from 11 to 25 pounds.

They are very agile and are great leapers. Their muscles are outstanding and powerful. A Siberian has great heft. They will seek out heights, jumping on top of bookshelves and doors to get a good vantage point. They have big powerful paws with tufts of hair. The head is large and rounded. The coat is moderately long to long, with the hair on the shoulder blades being thick and slightly shorter. They have three layers of fur to help them cope with the cold Siberian winters. The neck ruff is full; the ears are round, wide set and fairly large. The tail is long and full.

Siberians do shed: some shed frequently and others shed a few times a year.

And what about the Siberian personality? They are playful and active throughout life. They are very affectionate and devoted to their people, being loyal and loving companions. Siberians are intelligent, observant, and curious. They are easy to train with their gentle, good-natured, dog like personalities. Siberians enjoy being handled and cuddled, and they love to "help" their people do things at every opportunity. Generally quiet, they speak with purrs, chirps, squeaks and body language. I've never found a better cat personality.

Some Siberian cats are very low in the FeL d1 protein. If you are sensitive to this protein, you will do well with our Siberian cats. If you are allergic to serum albumin, Siberians will most likely not make a difference for you.

Our breeding cats have tested low on FeL d1 protein. More allergy information.
