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 in their lives compared to purebreds in Western countries where the coat serves no purpose other than to look good.

I love to see naturally occurring purebred cats. These are random bred in that a cat breeder does not select the breeding cats but the end result is a cat as purebred or more so than any selectively bred cat in the West.
