Siberian cat
The Siberian cat's personality is often described as dog-like, as they tend not to be shy with strangers. It is a loyal, affectionate, and playful breed. Brown tabby is the most popular color, but it is accepted in all other colors as well. The Siberian is accepted for championship status in most North American cat registries. It is accepted as Miscellaneous Class in CFA.
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.

Comments
I have two purebred Siberian cats that I purchased directly from a breeder
I have two purebred Siberian cats that I purchased directly from a breeder. Although I was under the impression they would only shed twice a year, I have had them 2.5 years and they actually shed constantly all year long. On the up side, my husband who is allergic to others cats doesn't seem to be affected by the Siberian breed.
