I now own a Siberian Angora. The cat is four yrs old and female with black tiger/white colors (although I see amber brown). Her fur is not thick yet nor do I suspect she is fully grown. She is the most unusual cat I have ever seen and had in my care. Any tips on this breed would be appreciated. Thanks.

i have a siberian cat i adopted about three years ago and he is the best cat i have ever owned. his name is malcom
I have a gorgeous Siberian cat with beautiful reddish/blond hair. He was rescued by my daughter ten years ago. He is so handsome, he seems princely and is very strong and healthy. He loves our immediate family, but he is not friendly with strangers who visit. He will sit tall and watch them, then hiss pretty nastily if they approach too closely. He will snap at us if he really wants something, i.e. “walk downstairs with me so I can eat”. I would say he is pretty chill most of the time, but can be demanding, too. What a personality. I just discovered his Siberian heritage. Very interesting. Siberians are the national cat of Russia and Gorbachev and Medvedev own them.
i recently rescued a 6 yr.old cat from the Los Angeles County Shelter. Last week Dr. Oz brought his Siberian cat onto his show and I realized my lovely rescue is also Siberian. One never knows what waits in the local shelter. I love her and I am sorry she was in prison for 3 months and the next one on the list to be put down. We have bonded so well.

THATS SO CUTE!
Oddly enough, I own two pure siberians and their coats seem to do nothing but knot, even with daily brushing. They’re very friendly though and always seek out human company, unlike the stereotypical cat.
I own two pure breed Siberians and the female cats fur matts so badly we had to get her shaved recently (which didn’t go down well with dirt her her or the other cat) and the male’s coat doesn’t matt at all
I have a Siberian Maine Coon mix he looks just like the one on the pic but he is about 2 1/2 feet not including his tale, 20 lbs and his eyes are blue. His is very demanding and will not let you pet him unless his up for it. he will fetch when he feels like it; he will bring you his stick and likes going for walks as soon as he sees the leash he is ready at the door. I like him but some times i just feel like he needs to chill out. any suggestions
Siberian cat is super gorgeous. Totally want to get it!
there so cute!
i have to agree they look cute which reminds me of siberan huskys
How does one tell the Siberian from the Norwegian Forest cat?
Some cat breeds are typically independent and aloof, even if they’ve been raised by the same person since kittenhood; others bond closely to one person and are indifferent to everyone else; and some shower the whole family with affection. Breed isn’t the only factor that goes into affection levels; cats who were raised inside a home with people around feel more comfortable with humans and bond more easily.
