About Siberian breed
The Russians started to settle Siberia in the end of the sixteenth century. All the cats were really popular and helpful animals for people so the first settlers were taking them on their long journey to that inhospitable, although beautiful part of the world.
The Siberian climate is very rough and that is also why the breaking of the coat has affected the brand new long, thick and "water repelling" coat. Siberians mostly have really good health, great temperament and they like to communicate with all the people around, but - they still know who is "their man" and then, they are ready to give him/her the biggest part of their big and real love.
Siberians are a loyal, friendly, semi-longhaired breed. They make great companions. Siberians are not an extremely vocal breed, they express themselves with a soft chirping. They have thick undercoats that require minimal grooming.
They are non-allergenic to most people who exhibit allergies to other cats. Their personalities are often referred to as dog like and do in fact exhibit protective qualities. They are accepted in all colour patterns, the most common being the tabbi or agouti mackerel.
These cats can be held in a villa as well as in a block of flats. They would enjoy each of these areas the same. The assumption for good quality coat is a non-overheated area and if you make an outdoor free range possible, be sure that it will bring your cat a fantastic thick coat. Normally, the cats search for the room where lower temperatures (12 - 16 degrees of Celsius) are.
One of the most important facts is, that Siberian cats are 100% natural race although they present themselves like very aristocrats at cat shows.
The Siberians are slow to mature taking up to three years, and should develop into a large heavy cat, males weighing considerably more than females.
