My favourite thing about Siberians is how much they love playing fetch and peekaboo around corners. My least favourite thing is how I will never go to the toilet in private again.

My family got a Siberian cat because of my allergies. He then turned into my best friend and cuddle buddy. We named him Casper because of his beautiful white fur and because he is so friendly! We have had him for around 7 years now. I moved away for college so he is with my parents and I miss him so much!

[@аты-баты-е8ж]

I'm in Russia and I've got my Siberian from the city dump site. He was a stray kitten of about 10 months but friendly and neat. Never a problem-maker but a great companion. He walks on the leash and does his needs outside like a dog. And when he feels like going back home, I just let him go without the leash... he has no fears to enter the elevator together with the dog.. but no stranger humans, please 😁

[@FactsaboutCatsVideos]

Thanks for sharing your story :)

[@aniab4306]

Does your siberian like cudles and siting on your lap or prefers to just be near you and being pet?

[@jenninext]

Mine is the same. He goes for walks on a leash, camps with us in the mountains, loves dogs, kids, and other cats. He has no fear of loud noises. I have never been so intensely loved by an animal before. He follows me everywhere and is the cuddliest animal I've ever known. He is very talkative and chirps and trills constantly. However, he does not like strange humans at all! He's a one person cat.

[@Boghira]

My Russian grandmother's Siberian mouser by the name of Zhanna was my introduction to cats when I was a kid. She was the most stand-offish cat ever but once she accepted you into her circle of trusted people, she was the most loving and loyal cat ever. She always slept on my bed and I would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night with her curled upright next to me. Once, when she had kittens, she decided that the safest place to go into labor was right on my pillow, while I was sleeping. I loved that cat, and I like to think that she loved me back.

[@Laurie-xu6fo]

Beautiful ❤🎉

[@GatheringBitByBit]

My 15 yr old Siberian died in May this year. He was everything and even more that you said. I miss him terribly. He took interest in everything I did. ❤ He loved music too. He strummed on guitars too. He was a rescue of my son’s friend that he adopted that when his friend couldn’t keep because of his living situation that my son took off his hands and brought him home . All cats are cool but Russian Siberians take the cake. I’m still grieving his absence. Ours was very social too.

[@RS-xx9ve]

My Siberian sits absolutely MESMERISED by the television. And yes he likes music videos too. They are very clever cats. Sorry to hear he has passed. Hope you get another soon!

[@GatheringBitByBit]

@@RS-xx9ve - Mine was so curious about tv too, but especially other animal KZbin videos with music and animal noise backgrounds. He was such a pleasant pleasure to have in my life. His passing Is like worse than losing a best friend. He was interested in everything. It’s been 8 months and I still can’t think about getting even another cat. I think he is just not replaceable.

[@JustS0meK1dd]

I thought it might be useful for me to post my experiences as an Asthmatic, Allergic Siberian owner. I went for a while to the breeders house to test my reactions, and everything was fine. However, a week or so after we brought home our kitten, I started having a lot of severe breathing problems, so we had to keep her out of the bedroom at night, and I used my inhaler a lot as well as going for walks. This continued for around a month, but after a while my allergies calmed down a lot, and three years later she is never off me and I am the only person that she will let groom her. Don't get too disheartened if you experience an allergic reaction at first. Siberians produce LESS Fel-d1 protein, but there are still varying amounts that your immune system will need to get used to. Getting a decent vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to remove allergens from your home is definitely recommended. It still stings and swells more for me when I get scratched (very rare, and always my fault), but in general I don't even have to consider my allergies anymore.

[@jaashley28]

Do u think this will happen to me cuz I also have asthma and I’m allergic ? Or not

[@JustS0meK1dd]

@@jaashley28 I think there is a very good chance that this might happen for you, but it could be less, or more severe than my experience depending on how bad your Asthma/allergies are. I have actually just got another Siberian kitten (now 14 weeks old) and my asthma has gotten worse again. Seems like you have to get used to specific cats, so i'll try to remember to let you know how long it takes for my asthma to calm down again. I have started using a preventer inhaler and everything seems to be going much smoother than last time.

I'm hoping to be able to add a cat to my life again though, this breed gives me hope it will be ok (:

I have a syberian. She is a smart cat who talks a lot and always toddles after me. Her fluffy gorgeous long hair is her charm. She is my precious family member💖

[@markrigg6623]

I knew nothing of Siberian cats until a stray adopted me 4 years ago. I was looking after my frail mum at the time and we were both convinced she was sent by God to provide relief during the difficult time we were going through. She's my only companion now and is not like any other cat I had experience with. She's terrified of strangers but very devoted to me and takes any opportunity to get on my lap. It's true what they say about their dog like traits and I can't recommend the breed highly enough.

[@NicNakBraun]

I absolutely love my boy more then anything. He's 27 to 30 pounds..weight shifts..he's turning 5 this year. I wish we could show photos on KZbin. He's black mostly..brown highlights during summer..but he has a cream puff on his belly. Pure white patch. Its so cute..❤❤❤❤

i adopted my Siberian cat from petsmart not knowing he was such a great breed. He is always gorgeous, not shedding much hair, healthy, PLAYFUL (even at 15), chatty, affectionate, dog personality…and hard working…to catch flies or any insects :) he is active and not lazy at all. Best cat for dog owners too since they are acting like a good dog.

So much personality and curiosity, he’s not aloof like some cats. He adds endless amounts of joy, laughter and love into my life. He’s my little shadow, Love my Finnigan so much. ❣️

[@shiretsu]

just learning this is what one of my cats is. she was adopted at about the age of 8 and I had no idea what she was. now they're my all-time favorite cat breed

[@ALTabula]

they are the PERFECT cats. We have had many over the years and they are the most amazing cat breed, so dog-like, affectionate, attentive, and caring. One of ours plays fetch, one of ours snuggles every night. They have a tri layered coat with a deep underlayer, so they do mat easily. I recommend brushing them every other day and bathing once a month, and not letting them go outside. LOVE them!!

[@aniab4306]

Does your siberian like cudles and siting on your lap or prefers to just be near you and being pet?

[@ALTabula]

So we have quite a few Siberians, every single one of them prefers to cuddle, besides one. The one is a female, we hhad her -her entire life, but she always squirms aways and just perfers to be near by but hot hel. My biggest peace of advice is to manhandle them, pick them up, hold them even if they are showing they are uncomfortable because it gets them so use to your hands and being that close to you :) Better to start young too :D

[@aniab4306]

Thanks for your response🙏❤are the other ones male?I mean can we relate it to gender?🤔

[@ALTabula]

@@aniab4306 Nooo, actually we 1 male and mostly females :) my SO and I own a cattery, so we see a lot of them! I do find in my experience females are very cautious while males are more aloof, however, both enjoy cuddles! just make sure kittens stay with the breeder for at LEAST 12 weeks since the breed develops slower it will help them with aggression and separation issues. Also the means can be hard but getting 2 at once is really really great they will still enjoy human interaction but they will play with each other and cuddle for life :) we are keeping 2 of our current litter and they are so cute together always playing and cuddling (one boy and one girl, both interested in our cuddles equally!) in general the breed is cuddly, however, each cat has its own personality and I find some cats can be stand-off ish, and not want to be on you but still near by, so getting a sib doesn't guarantee they will want to be smothered, but most sibs are affection-driven and if you show them nothing but pets and love they will flock :D hope this helps :))

[@aniab4306]

@@ALTabula reallyyyy thank you It helped me so much😍😍❤❤❤what do you recommend about gender?male or female?I mean from all aspects....and If I can buy two of them is it better to buy them from same gender or on female and one male?and is it ok if I don't buy them in the same time?For example buy the second one year after the other🤔because it's mg first experience I don't think that I can handle them in the same time. And another question...do you know about ragdolls?I can't choose between ragdoll and sibrian. Sorry for to many questions🙈🙈

[@rachelk6724]

I’ve had 3 Siberians - 2 out of the 3 have had separation anxiety. I highly recommend making sure yours has an animal companion. I have also discovered they can get jealous, but they’re also loving and social

[@TeleeFONE]

I have 2 siberians, 1 male and 1 female, usually the females are more jealous and possessive and can turn hostile on the male cat and chase him out of my room as she wants me to give attention only to her. I've trained her to not be hostile and bullying the male cat. Now she doesn't chase him out of the room if both of them are in the same room as me, they have co-exists better, playing seek-and-catch with each other daily and even at times sleeps besides each other. I'm a happy cat Dad 😍😍😍.

[@claudiaphilippe5655]

Started out with 2 gorgeous (aren't they all!?!) siberian teenagers when their parent couldn't keep them (free)! We had no idea how lucky we were! My husband, who was normally very allergic, seemed to do ok. He was not an animal lover but he loved those 2! They are the doggiest cats I'd ever met...never met a visitor they didn't like. I lost the brother, Babar, from an accident about 2 years ago. Before she lost her brother, my female Callie was fine if we went away for a week or so. We had a cat lover coming in daily. After Callie lost her brother, my husband died. Some months went by. I went away for about 4 days. When I got back, she was at the door and let out the most painful wail I had ever heard. I vowed then that I would never do anything that would make her suffer like that. I haven't!

[@ritaevergreen7234]

I realized my Maine coon cat was not Maine coon but a Siberian and she was really jealous of our dogs that when we weren’t around she would bully them. Sadly she passed two years ago but she had a big attitude that was my favorite part about her. Her favorite person was the kind that gave her the least attention. She has an interesting personality and taught me a lot about being brave. I had her since I was 8 until she passed (21)

[@adamcarpenter7823]

Love mine ... he's like a little puppy that grooms itself! The video is correct in that they will follow you around but are completely docile and playful. I'm still amazed that as a 15 lb cat (which is small for a siberian male) can get into the places he gets. They love high places.

[@dominicthedominator2796]

My daughter just adopted a four year old female Siberian and she is the best cat of all. Chloe is very affectionate, cuddly, playful and has great intuition. Chloe is a beauty and I wish she were mine! My cat is a Himalayan female who, I believe, was traumatized in some way before we received her. "Ellie" is very skittish and runs at the slightest things. She does not get along with other cats so I cannot bring another cat into my house without hurting Ellie further. She is getting more affectionate at five years of age than as a kitten. I adopted a senior Himalayan, "Mr. Darcy" many years ago. Darcy was incredibly affectionate and acted very much like a dog. We only had him for five years before he passed away and I miss him every day! I love cats more than most people. Anyone who says that cats are standoffish never raised one. They are beautiful little creatures and add so much to our lives!

This is Why I want a Siberian Cat.

[@anonymousandcool]

I have two Siberian cats and they have honestly changed my life as well as the life of my boyfriend and parents. Boyfriend and I got the first girl Siberian because we needed a cat boyfriend was less likely to allergic to. She was distant at first but quickly became a talkative, sweet and hilarious part of our little family. A lot of people without kids tend to personify cats but I can HONESTLY say, Evera (the Siberian girl cat) has a LOT of moods and is kind of high maintenence. She is a sensitive cat and we need to give her lots of reassurance. But she is mostly in a great mood despite a few health problems. We brought her son (from a litter before she was fixed) to live with us last fall. He was offered by the breeder and we just thought what the hell. Her son (we named BEANS) is an absolute JOY. You can't help but be happy around him but he really has a dog's energy. If you don't play with him for hours every day or let him get his exercise, HE WILL MAKE IT KNOWN he needs that. He not only made Evera happier, he is the most dog-like cat I have EVER been around. He fetches, he cuddles, he is fiercly loyal and sweet, attuned to us when we are sick, and both cats are somehow able to gauge who needs love most. If they are at my parent's house, they love on mom when she is sick. And I'm telling you BOTH cats think they are guard dogs! They have tried to actually protect me from harm many times and they are VERY vigilent when they think someone is too close to the house, or there is a knock at the door. They are seriously protective!! They have even growled and Evera, when a guest tried to come at me yelling, BIT them and chased them away!

They are a magical breed, I got 2 of them. A few days ago I was very sick from the flu, both of them comes into my room and check on me many times throughout the day, they are very loyal breed and love their owners and cares for them when they are sick. Both of my Siberians aren't very chatty, but they chirps and tribbles when they talk, and also they want to be near me always, especially my male Siberian, if I ever close my room door, he will make noise and scratch my door to let him in 😂. Although both of them are equally affectionate, male and female siberians have slight difference in traits and personality. But I love both genders, as it gives me different experience as a Siberian lover and cat parent.

[@FactsaboutCatsVideos]

That's so sweet ❤❤

[@eefjem8035]

They do shed! A LOT! Twice a year you get the big seasonal coat change, which means you will really need to like vacuming and combing your cats. They are perfect in character provided you give them enough stimuli (toys, outside walks, playtime and multiple climbing posts) and they can't be alone for too long. Even if you have 2 or more, they really are very attached to their owners. If you are allergic, please test for an allergic reaction at the breeder you want to buy one. Reason is the allergic reaction can vary per bloodline/ genetic combination. Best thing to do is visit the breeder a couple of times just to be sure.

[@whitesnowable]

Do you know if they have any genetic diseases like HCM?

Got a Siberian male kitten 4 months ago. Haven't owned a cat in nearly 30 years due to severe allergies. In most homes where there is a cat, I can't stay more than 15 minutes or else, I'll end up under the respirator at the hospital. But this cat, no problem. He sleeps on the chair literally next to my bed and I have almost no symptoms even if it is winter and windows are closed. From my perspective, they are truly hypo-allergenic. That's what I like the most about them but what's also nice is that it is a big, majestic, fluffy breed.

That's what breeders recommend, to help when seasonal coat changes. And yes there are some breeds that require baths: Sphynx and most of medium/longhaired cats, to help with matting and to wash off the accumulated oils. Ask breeders for more information.

[@JasmineSurrealVideos]

You can get pet wipes which get the excess oils off and dirt, any smell etc which can be a compromise, as a kid I really didn't like giving our cat a bath, he was normally so placid but he'd become a ball of fury, and even treats didn't help, soothing talk, even relaxing music, catnip etc. I'd be covered in scratches, so we gave up in the end and used pet wipes. So much better, my arms were thankful lol.

Does your siberian like cudles and siting on your lap or prefers to just be near you and being pet?

[@thegivingheart3446]

Siberian cats are gorgeous! 😍

[@KrisMcCauley]

Never knew my cat beans was Siberian. I always thought she was pet tabby or ragdoll. We do Christmas cards every year and she isn’t really like any of these cats. I grew up with about 40 cats on a farm and she has the most attitude of any cat ive ever had. She doesn’t like cuddling at all.

[@rachieshaulsandthings]

I have a half Siberian half shorthair 9 month kitten, his dad was Siberian , beautiful cats

[@brucekrisinger4827]

My family had two Siberian cats (Nikki and Lexi) and they were the sweetest most loving kitties we have ever had. Unfortunately, they both passed within 3 months of each other and were only 7 and a half years old. Our hearts are still breaking. One had a heart condition and the other had cancer in his digestive tract. Maybe someday we'll get another one or two. Siberian Cats are like angels from Heaven.

[@Askalott]

I'm pretty sure this is what my cat is. I got her from a shelter so I don't really know, but I see her cute little face in all these cats.

My siberian always comes to me as I'm arriving from work and always walks me to the driveway as I leave. Very respectful when I eat. Sleeps at my feet every night. He also smells very good.

[@chuckylugs9607]

I got my beautiful, orange boy by ‘accident’ from a breeder advertising him as a Turkish Van 🤭 ..erm, yes, I know ! It has though taken me ‘5 years’ to notice !! He’s ‘pointed’ meaning all his paws are white, white around his whiskers, main, underbelly and the bit I love most, at the tip of his tail 😻 He (Chip) always follows me around and lying with all his paws up when he’s asleep !! He is always curious and, worryingly, loves the outdoors but has so far, always come back. He loves his food and is very chatty. He loves being petted but ‘grizzles’ when I pick him up for a cuddle. Chip is without doubt everyone’s best friend on my street. I’m sooo lucky to own him ❤❤❤

[@nelsrinden510]

Ahhh! Y ou have mafe me fall madly in love with yet another cat. Like Maine Coons and "Weegeies" they are stunningly beautiful. I would love to have one of each of them, but I cannot in good conscience obtain them. I can only get cats from shelters. The truth is I have never met a cat I didn't fall on love with, so actually any cat is alright with me. My problem is that when I go to a shelter, I want to take all of the cats home with me.

[@dominicthedominator2796]

I understand what you mean about wanting to take all of them. It's a shame that so many of these sweet animals wind up in shelters.

[@claudiaphilippe5655]

I had never had a cat that didn't come from a rescue. We got very lucky rehoming two gorgeous teenagers. I wouldn't want a cat now other than a Siberian. Already I'm feeling guilty at the thought actually buying one.

[@GatheringBitByBit]

I noticed my cat’s strength and vitality began to deteriorate after cat vaccinations. I had always avoided his jabs until the last two years and he started a health decline after cat jabs . I don’t know what’s in their cat jabs but I won’t ever do that yrly cat jab thing again because my Siberian suffered before he died 😢😭😭😭😭🥺🥺😭😭😭

They are hypoallergenic! I am horribly allergic to cats as well, but we tested my allergies at a Siberian breeder and have now had our Siberian for over a week and not a single sniffle! 😸

It's not a guarantee. My siberian still makes me sneeze. 1000% worth it

You can also give an air purifier a try! That may help in any allergies you have!

[@orbtii]

I adopted my 9 year old Siberian from someone who was moving and needed to get rid of him. I’ve never heard of a Siberian until then and let me tell you these cats are sweet! I have an 18 pound male Siberian with tipped lynx ears, he has bad dander in his fur and needs to be brushed often and he has had two ear infections since I’ve owned him (he was an outdoor cat before I adopted him) I know it can be controversial but I do shave his fur down for the summer since I live in Texas and he likes to enjoy walks on a leash. He loves it when his fur is shaved and gets zoomies like a little kitten when he does! But be warned the fur will never grow back the same I originally did it because he had a huge wound on his back that needed to be cared for and since his fur was already done I decided to keep doing it especially since he seems to enjoy it a lot. Huge poops! And if the butt isn’t maintained you will have poo and pee on your poor kitties behind so be prepared to do some handiwork but I totally recommend this breed! Don’t be afraid to adopt an older cat mine is my best friend!

[@ashleyawol8529]

Dudeee after seeing that price I'm glad I got my boy Simba for free off Craigslist😅 Odd story but he loves playing fetch and has his special stick. When I come home from work he rolls across the living room floor. He's kinda mischievous and spazzy. I love him to bits and he don't know nothin but be cat 😸

I suspect a stray wander up is a Siberian. He certainly fits this and is color point with very pretty blue eyes. He’s young yet. He was extremely matted and I had to have him shaved. But he appears to be a gentle boy that doesn’t want to fight.

[@KaisaVitikainen]

Colorpoint is not an accepted color in Siberians, but a related breed called Neva Masquerade. Purebred Siberians do not produce colorpoint kittens, only crossbreeds do.

[@FactsaboutCatsVideos]

Colorpoint is accepted in Siberian Cats, check CFA standard.

[@KaisaVitikainen]

@@FactsaboutCatsVideos must be an American thing? Over here they are most certainly separate breeds. Sad that they have mixed them over there.

[@catherinealexander3496]

Yes they do if you breed two colour point you get a colour point I do have a friend who is a breeder and she has lavender colour point...they are priceless...and they also wrote 3 books so far on Siberian’s..colour point. Is a colour so any colour is accepted for a Siberian...the same for any colour after a while but all colour is accepted for Siberian...

@@KaisaVitikainen what do you mean by over there? Siberian , Norwegian and Maine coon are not from Russia they are from Maine in United States ....go check on the internet and you will have the whole story...

[@KaisaVitikainen]

@@catherinealexander3496 LOL. The Siberian cat breed is most certainly not *from* United States. The colorpoint variation was achieved by crossbreeding purebred Siberians with Siamese cats, and as such the Neva Masquerade is not considered the same breed under FIFe (Fédération Internationale Féline). Original, pure Siberian cats cannot produce colorpoint kittens.

I think my cat is a siberian mix with british shorthair. He looks exactly like a siberian and matches the personality to the tee. So I'm assuming his dad is one. Luckiky he was pretty cheap too 😅 his mom's dad was just giving the litter away and only charged for the the amount it took to raise him. Best decision of my life. He is the best cat ever and absolutely beautiful. I'm so excited to watch him grow.

Great suggestion!

[@siiri2052]

we've had 4 siberian cats and while they all had huge personalities, they were all distinctly different. that's what i like about them. i wouldn't recommend them as single pets, they should always be held in pairs. they need a lot of attention and don't do well being left alone at all. so it's best if you are willing to centre a lot of your life around your cat. if you like being out and about all day working and pursuing hobbies then i wouldn't get siberians. if you work from home or you spend a lot of your free time at home they will help you with every chore/ activity. but i have to say all 4 of ours have had an impressive nasty streak if they feel threatened or bullied. so you need to be sensitive to their moods and give them space if they need some time to calm down if they are upset or in a bad mood. none of our dogs, not even our russian greyhound, would go near our siberians if they aren't in the mood to socialize. but they are caring and sensitive, so if anyone is sad or sick they will come running to check on them. they are lovely, but you have to be aware of what you are getting into. i've had cats all my life and i'd say siberians are high maintenance compared to the other cats i have lived with.

[@kerrirussell2847]

Nicely stated. I have one sib. and you are right on.

[@jenninext]

I'm an artist and a stay at home mom so I'm with my Siberian, Dragon, all day and night. I could not imagine how upset he would be if he were left alone for hours each day. He has a rescue cat friend (my daughter's cat) that he plays with as well. These cats form such close bonds with their humans that they really do need somone who is home more often than not.
