The earliest written records related to this cat appear in the 11th century: they were very common and common in Russian markets and the Siberian countryside. Siberian cats, because they live in countries with harsh natural environments, are covered all over with a long coat, even with a thick collar around the neck. Their outer coat is hard, smooth and oily, and their undercoat is dense and thick, which allows them to resist the harsh cold of the Siberian region.
The recorded history shows that the Siberian breed has been around for at least a thousand years. They were first mentioned in Harrison Weir's book "Our Cats" and information about them, the earliest record of which was shown in England in 1871. The Siberian cat was first exported to other countries in 1990. He is a candidate breed for most breeders. The Siberian cat, semi-longhaired, has a rich coat of cape in the winter.

However, other colors have emerged after later artificial breeding. The Siberian Forest Cat is born with a short coat and will not have a guard coat until it is three months old. In return for the gift of an Akita dog from Japan, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a meeting with Japanese Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba in the southern Russian resort of Sochi on July 28 that he would give back a Siberian forest cat.

Pet cat species Siberian cats are resourceful and active, and it is the nature of cats to sharpen their claws and paws, so it is impossible to make them stop sharpening their claws. For a small cat, its claws are its most powerful weapon, so they must be sharpened from time to time by grinding off the aging cuticles. In addition, the sweat glands on a cat's paws secrete an odor that stays when it scratches on furniture or walls. Just as dogs divide their territory by urine, cats need to divide their sphere of influence in the home. Nonetheless, if you let your cat just sharpen its claws, the sofa, curtains, chairs, carpets, wooden floors, wallpaper, etc. in your home will become tattered and terrible. Moreover, once the cat has determined the place to sharpen its claws, it will go there again and again, so the damage will be even worse. Therefore, responsible cat owners should start training their cats to develop good claw-sharpening habits as early as possible before the furniture is trampled.
