Siberian cats are majestic cats with thick fur and powerful paws that have won the hearts of many Soviet citizens.

There are many reasons for the popularity of these creatures.

Natural endurance

If we remember that under the Soviets not everyone had warm apartments, it becomes clear why these "heroes" of the cat world, adapted to the harsh climate, were ideal pets. Siberian cats were not afraid of cold, drafts and temperature changes.

Unpretentiousness

It turns out that in order to maintain the luxurious appearance of the Siberian cat's fur, it is enough to brush it regularly.

Good health

Representatives of this breed are characterized by excellent health and strong immunity, which allows them to live a long life without special medical care.

Friendly nature

These cats, although they have an impressive appearance, are soft and docile. They easily find a common language with both children and other animals. For Soviet families, who often lived in cramped conditions, this was especially important.

Attractive appearance

Siberian cats are incredibly beautiful. Their thick fur, expressive eyes and noble appearance make them a wonderful addition to any home.
