Siberian
As the name suggests, this beautiful cat breed is native to Siberia – it explains their long and protective coat. The Siberian cats are very affectionate with their family and playful. They have a loving and friendly personality which makes them similar to dogs, especially because they like to follow you everywhere in the house and accompany you in any activity you carry out.
“It isn’t unusual for a fully grown adult male to weigh as much as 25 pounds, but typically they run 12 to 16 pounds and females nine to 12 pounds. Yet they look smaller than the Coons because of their more compact, barrel-shaped bodies,” says Iris Zinck of Folie à Deux Siberian Cattery and a CFA Allbreed Judge.

If I had my choice, I would want to own a Norwegian Forest Cat. One thing that this article does not mention, they are good for persons who suffer allergies to cat dander. It is really the saliva of the cat that triggers the allergies. Cats are territorial and mark their their territories with their saliva. The enzymes that trigger allergies are quite low in this cat.
Beautiful cats. I had a few Manx when I was younger. All were very sweet and affectionate cats..
I had a Maine coon here in Omaha NE his name was Cesar, the vet checked him out and said you have a very, very rare cat he had Red Telzar on his skin had he was gorgeous cat. We had him 10 yrs before he passed away. I really miss him it’s been 46 yrs since I held him.
Please don’t promote these “Breed” cats. Thousands of cats are euthanized everyday….we don’t need more. Millions of cats live as stray and feral. They live lives of starvation, disease and suffering. Please promote spaying/neutering of cats andadopting from shelters/rescues. Please do not encourage breeding.
