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.
