 | |  | | The Siberian cat is thought to have originated 1000 years ago in Russia and was recently introduced to the USA in the early 1990's. Siberians are considered the largest domestic feline because of it's large and dense bone structure. Its coat is simi-long haired and comes in many colors and color patterns. The dander produced by these cat's (FEL D1) is measurably less than that produced by most domestic cats and is considered to be hypo-allergenic. Far more people with cat allergies can tolerate the Siberian cat quite well as proven through hundreds of testimonials.
Siberians are also known to be dog-like. They are more dependant on human interaction and tend to bond closer than other feline breeds. This also creates a situation that provides for easier training. Siberians are powerful cats, but rarely injure their human friends, even in play. They purr very loudly and love to head butt their favorite humans. They are not very vocal but quickly establish communications through body language.
Because of the obvious reasons above and many amazing others, the Siberian cat and kitten are rapidly becomming the pet of choice for many families. ---from the Svetdanhaus Cattery
***My own personal thoughts. I now own 4 and even though Im extremely allergic to all animals I'm not at all allergic to these beautiful cats. I love their personalities and how each one is uniquely different. I've had other breeds of cats before my allergies built themselves up to such a level that I could not own another cat that wasn't a Russian Siberian and I cannot believe the personalities of these. They are amazing with children and adults and I've always called them my puppy cats. I had resigned myself to never owning another cat again until my mother found an article on the internet about them and bought Mia, our first one in our immediate family in which we all fell in love with her.
I'm interested in all of your stories. Love, Tanya (mommy) and her babies, Lilly (6 months), Ruby (4 1/2 years), Arina (1 1/2 years), Danica (6 years)Edited by author Fri Aug 25, '06 4:48pm PST
