He asked: “did it come with a prepaid return label maman?” 🐱

She weighs 11 pounds at 1.5 years old. She has a lot of fur and she can clean herself without any trouble, but I can't help but feel like she's overweight every time I look at her.

Before I became “parent” last year to two Siberian kittens, I was dubious about two things: 1. they are Hypoallergenic; 2. they follow us around “like little dogs.”

I am so happy to say (to others who kay have questions, to myself, etc.) that both are true. My wife is deathly allergic to cats (hence my first kittens at 57 years old!), and she has no reactions to Marmie or Oliver. It is such a relief.

Also, they do bond very closely to their main caregiver, if my two are typical. They follow me everywhere, and when I am in another room, they wait outside until I reappear. It is so amazing: surpassing all my hopes.

So, if you are at all on the fence about the Sib experience, rest assured: they are all that we fans report they are.

We are considering getting an older kitten/adult/retired Siberian cat specifically, We have an 8 month old son and heard that adult cats are better than kittens to be around a small child (we would always be supervising and teaching our son to be respectful of the cat, whether adult or kitten)

I know there is a ban about detailed discussions about breeders, due to the risk of lawsuits. So instead I am simply asking for any cattery names that you could personally recommend due to having a positive experience. If you could just list names you feel moved to share, I believe this does not violate this sub’s rules.

Lily has been ill (kitty cold). After a week of antibiotics, I deemed her well enough to go for walkies. I looked up from pulling weeds to see her snoozing with Buddha!

All that space on the bed, but she will always choose to sleep right on my messenger bag.

I’ve had friends who had cats that would scratch up everything they could. I was always nervous that my Sib would do it when I got her as a kitten. But, she’s 12 now, and has never once ever scratched anything in my house. Is this a Sib trait?

I’m looking for advice on whether we should get a male or female Siberian cat? hunting desire is part of our decision making.

I realize hunting desire can also come down to individual personality, but besides the many reasons we want a Siberian cat (less allergies, their ability to get along with dogs, personality in general, etc many other reasons), we also have a persistent mouse we cannot get out of our house no matter what kind of (non poison) traps we use or locking up all our food. it’s pretty smart.

Gender differences I have heard Of: I heard rumor that male Siberian cats can be more physically affectionate and the females (while also loving) can be more reserved.

I also heard that female Siberian cats are better hunters and male Siberian cats don’t have the drive to hunt.

What is the truth?

Are male Siberians about the same as females as far as hunting desire? or are the females really more driven to hunt comparatively

PPS- is it true that the females are more reserved and the males are more likely to physically be affectionate?

Thanks in advance

I think this guy is having the best life possible 🤣

They're the best of friends and I love watching them play

Face card never decline

I love her!!

Just walking into my apartment from the courtyard, see my boi sitting majestically in the window and then I snap this amazing picture with his sister looking menacing in the background.

I looked up and caught him watching me like this

Patio time with mom in the late summer breeze is heavenly for Chyah.
Love the look of utter contentment on her face. 😊

No words needed but we haven’t been away for more than one night since they came home. I am sure they be fine, but I can’t be without our morning/evening snuggles .

Neither cat will come and snuggle on the couch or climb on a lap.but they both show up for naps when I am in bed. While my girl, is always curled up in my chest , my boy will only sleep in my arm…it’s funny how different their personalities are. When they were little my boy would definitely crawl into my lap and sleep all stretched out on my legs, but now a little over a year old not so much. Our girl wasn’t a snuggler at all as a kitten, barely tolerated being touched, she’d come snuggle with her bro who happened to be near me but if I moved at all she would immediately run away…now she is miss super snuggle
