Siberian owners often email pictures to each other bragging about "the fluff on that tail! This means that the tops of the ears can have hair which makes the ears look pointed, when in fact they are rounded, and that the inside of the ear has hair that protects it from the elements.

One reason why it may take some time to get the correct coat is because Siberians are slow to mature and take up to five years to fully develop.

Males, in particular, continue to put on muscle and begin to look quite hefty as they age past five years. Some owners have even noticed their cats gaining muscle as they approach 10 years of age. Reports of altered males weighing 25 pounds have been verified. How would you like that teddy bear on your bed? Siberians tend to be self-grooming, meaning that they remain relatively tangle-free, though males can and do get knotty in the springtime if not combed daily; pet Siberians do not require extensive grooming. For the most part, Siberians do not shed a lot there are always exceptions to this and you may find some that shed constantly and profusely ; instead, they molt twice a year.

The molting period lasts for about 10 days. Daily brushing at this time is required to expedite the molting process and to prevent the fur from matting. Otherwise, occasional grooming is acceptable unless your cat insists on more.

Show grooming is more extensive. You need to bathe the cat to remove any buildup of dirt and oil in the fur. Ensure that you rinse your Siberian completely to remove all traces of soap; then you must completely dry the fur. At the show you need to fluff before each ring. Most Siberians tolerate their baths, especially if they are bathed as kittens, and some even like playing in the water and will try to take showers or baths with you.

Some Persian breeders that show both breeds say that the Siberian is harder to groom than the Persian because of the very dense, water-resistant triple coat. It is very hard to get the fur wet and then very hard to get the fur dry. Owning a cat can be very pleasurable, but owning a Siberian cat is a very rewarding, life changing experience. The Siberian will become your best friend, confidante, problem-solver and house clown.

Siberians are one of the most ancient 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 are a quiet breed that will express melodically, using sweet mews, thrills, chirps and lots of purring, and they love to sit in your lap and be groomed. A favorite pastime of one of mine is to find something and bring it to me so that I can throw it and they can play fetch.

All types of toys intrigue them and they will play with just about anything. Another thing that mine are intrigued with is the moving cursor on the computer screen. You will need to shut the door of your computer room if you want to get any typing done. Some Siberians learn to stay off the keyboard at an early age but others will insist on adding indecipherable letters to your most crucial correspondence.

Others will sit in the cubbyholes of your computer desk and entrancingly watch as you type, periodically extending a paw of support. If you own a Siberian you will never be alone. They will watch TV with you, accompany you to the restroom and then go to bed with you. And if you are trying to do something, they will insist on helping - reading a newspaper, book or magazine is next to impossible. In some ways they are like the Gypsies of fairytales: I am still missing some jewelry that one of the cats decided was pretty. You can find toys and stolen items under every piece of furniture in my home.

Siberians also enjoy the company of dogs, other animals and children. They are fearless and easygoing; not much disturbs the natural calm and equanimity of a Siberian. Many parents affirm that their Siberian will always sleep with the children as a sentinel at the foot of their bed. Other Siberians are the nurses in the family, always spending time with the sick person who needs the support.

They seem to have a high level of intuition: The Siberian will give support in all the hard times in life, even if only for a headache. The acrobatic nature of the Siberian is well known among owners. They will play hard, often executing amazing somersaults in pursuit of a feather toy.

The Siberian Cat

Some balance on clothing racks and seem to be executing or attempting an uneven parallel bar routine, rivaled only by Olympic athletes. Others balance carefully on lamp shades as they watch their owners read.

Many times I have rescued an overly enthusiastic kitten attempting to climb the bricks on the fireplace or jump to the top of a bookshelf they can't quite reach. The Siberian is always happy to be helped though. They must be high on a shelf somewhere. Siberians stay playful throughout their lives and rarely could be mistaken for the couch potato. Siberians appear to be very healthy with few if any health issues or genetic problems. The Siberian cat is also known by many allergy sufferers for being hypoallergenic.

Many people that are allergic to cats have found that they can tolerate the Siberian and have little or no reaction to them. Although it has not been proven medically or scientifically, many people adamantly believe that the Siberian is hypoallergenic. They believe this because they are living proof. After they lived for decades with allergic reactions to cats, I have seen adults cry because these loving cats have climbed all over them and they had no allergic reactions. Most Siberians have a low occurrence of the FelD1 enzyme in their salvia.

When a cat licks its fur, the saliva dries and falls off as dander, and most allergy sufferers have sensitivity to this enzyme. This concept is cat-by-cat and person-by-person dependent. If you are allergic to cats and want to test your response to Siberians, it is best to find someone near you with a Siberian or two. Spend a few hours with one and find out how you react. Personally, I have had very good luck with placing Siberians in allergy homes.

On average, about 75 percent of the people that come out to test have little or no reaction.
