This is a nice picture of a Neva Masquerade. I believe that the cat was bred in Russia. Either that, or one of the Russian satellite countries. The photographer is LETO PHOTOGRAFIA. I am unsure but I think she is Russian and living in Russia. Please correct me if I am wrong. All I …
This is the way I like to see Siberian cats: in their element. These are the real thing; farm Siberian cats as purebred as you’ll get, yet not selectively bred at all. They are in Russia, on a farm and it is damned cold. Their coats are amazing and they play a major role …

The Siberian, judging by the photographs on this page, which I hope represents fairly typical examples of these cat breeds, is more rounded in appearance with a stockier body, smaller ears and a …
The Siamese cat is predisposed to getting adenocarcinomas of the small intestine. This is a certain type of cancer and in this case it affects the Siamese cat’s small intestine. Compared to domestic shorthair cats (non-purebred cats) the Siamese is 3-8 times more likely to suffer from these cancerous growths¹. Other sources state that …
