These large, beautiful cats are as sweet, gentle, affectionate and playful as they are powerful.
Originally from Russia, these longhaired beauties are hypo-allergenic due to a protein that is lacking in their system and which often is the source of allergies with other cat breeds.
Siberian Cats are very personable and want to be near their owners. They will meet you at the door when you come home and explain their day to you. They love to sit in your lap and be groomed. All types of toys intrigue them and they will play with just about anything.
If you are considering a cat as a lifelong companion, the Siberian cat will give you years of happiness with its loving personality. Some consider its personality 'dog like' in its loyalty.
