Breed History
The Siberian cat, also known as the national cat of Russia, originated as a working cat and companion for farmers and their families. These cats were commonly found in rural homes, markets, and other places all across the country.
Because of their excellent hunting abilities for rodents and resilience in hard winters, the Siberian cat became a popular breed. What’s interesting is that these cats were bred without the help of any human influence.
Over time, these cats become popular not only for their personality but also their looks. When the first cat shows in England began, the Siberians were thrust into the spotlight.
Today, Siberian cats continue to become friendly and affectionate companions for any cat lover.
