Thanks for the video. I am stuck with one adult female as my daughter brought her home.
She is not a lap cat hates being picked up. She recently went into heat and mated with a stray. I don't know how to handle it pregnancy. 😮

“Reason 1: you might be allergic to cats and this is a cat” wow I never thought of it like that before

[yallthought]

Honestly my Siberian is one of the easiest cats I know. He's sweet to everyone who pets him, has never attacked me, and a big cuddle bug lol. I have cat allergies and for a little while I was getting allergies to him but by keeping the house clean it's gotten better and they eventually went away all together. He's also absolutely a lap cat at night

I am allergic to cats and 4 siberians at home.
Females won't often come onto your lap during daytime, especially young ones. My seven years comes on my lap daily. My male siberian cat loves to come on my lap. When I go to sleep, all my females like to cuddle.
Siberians are very social, they love each other.
As for diseases, they are the most healthy of purebreeds.
They cost quite a lot.
They indeed need brushing.
Most importantly, they are incredibly clever and understand a wide vocabulary.
I would have rescue cats if I were not allergic, but I think siberian cat are the next best choice, because they are beautiful and loyal.

Half the cats shown in this video are not siberians. There is a Pallas cat at the begining which is a wild cat. Looks like this was put together by a ropey AI.

I had 2 Siberian cats growing up (one is still alive at 17 years) and they were both outstanding cats. Now in my new home I have one young Siberian cat and he is just as amazing— truly my favourite breed.

Since when was a long life span, for a cat, a bad thing?

[adilachahbar]

Siberian cats are the best house cats one can have

I have a Siberian cat and she is amazing. Not regular brushing, very sweet, sociable, happy.

As a former owner of a Siberian cat I was skeptical when I saw the title of this video. But after watching it I would say I agree with all of the points.

I would add that although you sometimes read how Siberian cats are dog-like, don't get the idea you're getting a replacement for a dog. They are still very much cats.

We love our Siberian cat; she is our baby girl. She needs multiple small feedings since she is still young and has an intestine the size of a ping pong ball. She thrives on routines: her fur and teeth get brushed daily, with treats provided either afterward or during the process. She requires lots of playtime and currently enjoys stalking and ambushing toy prey. Before we adopted her, we spent time at the breeder’s place to ensure we didn’t have any allergies. Fortunately, we were fine. Although I developed allergies later, my vet suggested relocating her litter box, which helped after we bought a new one with a little flip door at a pet store, and now, no allergies. She’s quite the little furball, so we maintain a clean house regularly. She loves the ample space in our home, running around during her playtime. She prefers to stay close to us, often rubbing against us for affection, although she doesn’t like to be held for too long. We’ve invested in pet insurance and pay monthly; she saw a vet when we first adopted her and will continue to see one annually. She brings immense joy to our lives, and we are so happy she will be with us for the next 20 years, fingers crossed. We are overjoyed with our Siberian baby girl.

I was lucky enough to get mine for cheap cause he was mix with british shorthair. But we are so so so lucky to have him. It is true they are high energy and not necessarily lap cat. But the way my cat shows love is absolutely adorable by bringing me flowers from my dried flower bouquet in the morning to getting excited whenever i take a nap in the afternoon so he can also get in bed and sleep beside me. He is also extremely social with other people and cats. Loves to be the center of attention. He also has to be involved in everything I do. Especially in the kitchen his favorite chore is loading the dishwasher and ofcourse can never keep the bathroom door closed cause those paws will show up from under and he'll be sending me whatever toys he can slide in. Also, he is soooo gentle. Unless he gets overly stimulated he does not bite, but even then it's gentle love bites. I just love him so much I guess I needed to write a long essay about him. His name is Balu ❤

I appreciate how fair you were about the allergies. I have cat allergies and zero problems with my Siberian cat, but that’s something you have to test before getting one. Also, I have severe fatigue and have managed well with my Siberian cat. I’ve had her for 14+ years and she’s very well adjusted and healthy for her age.

My son was allergic to cats, but he was fine with two Siberians. Loved those cats!

Серьезные причины в этом видео только 2 - аллергия и подвижность. Всё остальное... Не надо ухаживать за шерстью, сколько у меня сибиряков жило, только один раз купали, когда моего кота подрали дворовые коты и он серьезно болел. Подвижность, ну, выгоните его на улицу, если есть возможность. На коленях они лежат, если договоритесь. Ради вас сибиряк потерпит )). По здоровью вообще смешно. Этих сибиряков по улицам бегает тьма тьмущая. Больные там не выживают. Это дворовая кошка по сути. По стоимости сочувствую иностранцам. А последняя причина с продолжительностью жизни... С таким подходом лучше вообще не заводить котов, любых.
Привет из Сибири.

Mine is an arm cat.
If I pet him or put my arm next to him, he'll grab it and sleep on it.

As for allergies, yes they still happen. I had allergic reaction for a month after I got my cat.
Allergies can go away, in my case I'm not allergic to cats anymore due to long time low exposure, but everyone is different when it comes to allergies.

Siberians are not "pure bread cats", they are a natural species from the siberian woods. Of course they can get sick, as every living being, but they are actually not very prone to disease, cause they haven't been engineered by humans, but by mother nature :)

i give a food to 6 semi-siberians in winter near my house in Great Novgorod area. In summer they are very careful and do not allow me even to be near them. But on winter, when it is -20-30 on the street, they pay no attention when i touch them, they just eating. During cold night they even do not sleep, making some dance on my house porch.

I had sever cat allergy and I'm asthmatic, my Dr suggested me to get this cat!My cat allergy disapeared completely. They're not as bad
