Siberian Cat: Cat Breed Profile
The Siberian cat is a medium-sized, semi-longhaired cat that is both breathtaking to behold and an affectionate pet. Siberian is a forest cat native to snowy Russia, where it needed its luxurious triple coat to protect against cold. This breed has a delightful personality—outgoing, affectionate, friendly, and energetic—making it an exceptional feline companion. They enjoy the company of other cats and even dogs and are good with gentle, respectful children.
History of the Siberian Cat Siberian cats hail from Russia, where they are cherished as a national treasure. It’s hard to say just how long Siberian cats have existed in Russia, but based on Russian fairy tales and children’s books, they have likely been around for hundreds of years and maybe as long as 1,000 years. Siberian cats were described in a book called "Our Cats and All About Them" by Harrison Weir, which was originally published in 1889. The United States got their first glimpse of the Siberian cat after the Cold War thawed in the 1990s, and it was love at first sight. The Siberian cat is recognized by the Cat Fanciers’ Association and The International Cat Association. The Siberian cat’s trademark sweet expression comes from its modified wedge head with rounded contours, moderately short muzzle with slight curvature, and medium-to-large, almost round eyes, which come in shades of green, gold, green-gold, or copper (white cats may have blue eyes or “odd eyes," eyes that are two different colors).
Are Siberian Cats Hypoallergenic? One of the main draws of this decidedly expensive, relatively rare cat breed is that it's supposedly hypoallergenic. This is different for a long-haired cat, as hair carries the protein most associated with allergic reactions—hence why most "hypoallergenic" cat breeds are short-haired or hairless. No cat—or dog, for that matter—is 100% hypoallergenic, but Siberians can rightfully be called low-allergen because of mutations that bring down their Fel d 1 levels. Fel d 1 is the most major of 10 cat allergens
