Thought to have originated 1,000 years ago in Russia, the Siberian is Russia’s national cat. Because they are so common in Russia, the history of their origin is often taken for granted. Strangely enough, the Siberian is rare in the U.S. They were first imported here in 1990!
Considered the one of the largest domestic felines, the average Siberian cat weighs 15 pounds or more. Powerful felines, they have long coats of curly hair that hide their immense muscles. Extremely agile, they can leap surprising distances with grace and ease.
Like the St. Bernard, they are silent and lovable giants. In fact, these cats are considered one of the most dog-like of their species. People who claim to be dog people tend to fall in love with Siberians. They are terribly loyal — this coupled with their natural intelligence makes them some of the easiest cats to train. They are more dependent on human interaction than other feline breeds. Very aware of their strength, they rarely injure their human friends in play. Head butting is their trademark way of showing affection to their favorite humans.
Count on your Siberian to greet your visitors as they walk in the door. They are social cats and love entertaining guests, particularly because it means having a fresh lap in which to lounge. These cats are great for households, not only because of the qualities mentioned above, but because they tend to produce less dander than other cats. Some even believe that these cats are hypoallergenic, if such a thing exists.
So what do Siberians and St. Bernards have in common? You haven’t guessed? They’re large, muscular, affectionate and eager to please. If Siberians were dogs, they would be great at rescuing because of their intrinsic love for the human race.
The Bengal cat was created by crossing an Asian Leopard Cat with a domestic cat. Over time, this breed has become a visual and temperamental success—preserving the strong physical resemblance to its beautifully wild ancestor while inheriting a pleasant, domestic disposition. Talk about best of both worlds.
Large and sleek, this cat is as alert as it is affectionate. Its distinctive leopard spotted or marbled coat enhances its wild appearance as it roams the house. Unlike any other breed, some Bengals appear as if they were dipped in gold or silver glitter. Their voices are distinct and versatile, from a coo to a chirp. They love to jump, somersault and play with water just like wild and feral cats.
These cats have beautifully crafted personalities and are a joy for family-filled households. Lively and interactive, these cats are not known for their aloofness, haughtiness or dullness. They’re not only zany, they’re affectionate. They may come and nuzzle your face in the middle of the night, purring softly or spend hours pleasing themselves by stretching frequently or rolling on their backs in pure, uninhibited rapture.
The Bengal’s athletic ability is downright astonishing. Not only can they climb doors and cupboards, but they can also turn light switches on and off with a single leap.
These cats tend to be really picky about their litter boxes and can have less than desirable toilet habits if their litter boxes aren’t changed often enough or if the litter is not the sand type that they tend to prefer. Other than that, there are not many drawbacks to this delightful breed. They are buoyant, acrobatic and will always give you a sense of awe.
Although Bengals are widely considered domestic cats, because they are a hybrid between a domestic and a wildcat, owners need a CITES permit in order to import or export their Bengals because they are still considered wild. A CITES permit is the equivalent of a passport for personally owned wildlife.
Bengals are one of the few breeds that are fond of water! Some play quite contently in deep water and some even like to go swimming! They also love to take baths! You’ll have no problems using HealthyPetNet’s Spa Scents Shampoo on these cats!
