About The Siberian Cat
The Siberian is a recognized breed of cat, with most cat organizations accepting Siberians of any color (including color points) for competition. This includes recognition in the major cat registries such as TICA and Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA), as well as acceptance in the CFA Championship class beginning on February 6th, 2006.
Body
Known to be an exceptionally high jumper, the Siberian is a strong and powerfully built cat, with well proportioned characteristics that include strong hindquarters and large stomachs. They typically weigh between 15-20 (6.8-9.1 kg) pounds for the males, or 10-15 pounds (4.5-6.8 kg) for the females, and carry their weight differently than other large breeds such as the Maine Coon - they tend to be shorter and stockier even though they can attain the same weight. Also, Siberians typically attain their full growth more slowly, over their first 5 years. They have an average life span of 12 to 15 years.[2]
Personality
Siberians are generally intelligent, playful, affectionate and loyal, leading many to describe their character as dog like. Their fur is plush, can have a wide range of coloration, and does not have a tendency to mat.
Fur
Some claim that Siberians have hypoallergenic fur, and it is rumored that a study has been commissioned at the University of California (at Davis) to investigate. No conclusive information is currently available, however. Despite the lack of scientific evidence, though, extensive anecdotal evidence can be found from breeders supporting such claims. Siberians shed twice a year for two days.
Reproduction
On average, a Siberian cat's litter consists of 5 kittens
