Hi everyone,

This is our fluffy little boy, Boris. He's a black tabby Siberian kitten. He's nearly a year old now, but these pics are from a couple of months ago. I need to upload some more recent ones to my computer.

Siberians



I've never heard them referred to as 'Russian Siberians', only Siberians or Siberian Forest Cats, but I imagine it is probably the same breed. Siberians do come in a wide range of coat colours, and fully grown, they are a large breed. Boris is about 9 months old in the pics and has a bit of growing still to do, but he's pretty typical of the breed and is a classic black and brown tabby, a traditional coat colour for a Siberian.

If you are thinking of adopting a Siberian, I'd highly recommend it! They are a great breed - smart and a tendency to be 'lapcats', i.e. very cuddly. And they are great for people who are normally allergic to cats as they have less of the enzyme in their saliva that normally causes the allergic reaction (I'm mildly allergic to most cats - itchy eyes, sneezing, etc - but not at all to Boris. I can rub my face all over him and no reaction!)
