Siberian Cat Breed



The Siberian Cat Breed is also known as the Russian Forest Cat and the Siberian Forest Cat.

This Russian Breed of cat is medium to large in size and have a powerful build. Overall they have a rounded shape.

They have a very thick, triple coat. This can be attributed to the cold winters where they originated. Their medium length, plush coats feature a ruff around the neck and a bushy tail. Their coats come in all colors and patterns. Despite their thick coat they do not need a lot of grooming. They groom themselves quite well.

Another good thing about this breeds coat is that there are numerous reports of allergy sufferers having no problems with this breed. It is recommended that you test that out for yourself by visiting a breeder before you commit to buying the cat. Unfortunately many cats that end up in shelters do so because a well meaning owner realized after bringing it home that they were allergic.

This Siberian Forest cat has a wedge shaped head with some roundness to it. The chin is well rounded. The top of their head is flat and features their medium ears that appear pointed (they are, in fact, rounded, but the fur makes them look tipped).Their eyes are large, round and set wide apart.
