I’m going to refer to a study of 2007 which contains a lot of useful information (https://doi.org/10.1016%2Fj.ygeno.2007.10.009). One of the conclusions which interests me and which might interest others is that the Siberian cat is the most genetically diverse cat breed according to these scientists. And at the opposite end of the spectrum, they …
A diploma thesis: “Do hypoallergenic cats exist? – Secretion of Fel d1 in Neva Masquarade vs domestic cat breeds” by Julia Margareta Gertraud Satorina, concludes that the Neva Masquarade is hypoallergenic but that further research is required. The Neva Masquarade is a pointed Siberian cat, the result of crossbreeding between Siamese and Siberians in …
A cat in Siberia who survived -40C degrees has been fitted with a brand new set of titanium feet after losing his paws to gangrene. Ryzhik had all four paws removed, which in most cases wouldn’t have happened because the cat would have been humanely euthanized. Ryzhik’s new owners were determined to save him …

Here are some photographs of what I’d term ‘real Siberian cats’. They are not purebred but are purer than American purebred Siberian cats because they are the originals. It is from these cats that the Siberian purebred was created. But breeding tends to take the genetics away from the original because breeders like to ‘refine’ and alter.
This is a photograph of an award winning Siberian cat which should impress you and it may well encourage you to adopt a Siberian cat if you are in the market for adopting a purebred cat. This breed is one of my favourites. It is the stocky, robust, long haired appearance and solid features …
