Red tabby cat vs red tabby cat11/18/2023 A research study of Siberian cats native to the area of Russia from which the breed stock originated confirmed the subjects produced less Fel d 1 (the strongest among the eight known Fel d 1 allergens produced in cat saliva, therefore, is deposited on their fur when they groom themselves) than non-Siberian cats. The Siberian is often called hypoallergenic because it produces less Fel d 1 than other cat breeds. This means that all Siberian cats are purebred cats with a formally registered ancestry. While it began as a landrace, it is selectively bred and pedigreed today in all major cat fancier and breeder organizations. It is a natural breed from Siberia and the national cat of Russia. The cat has similarities with the Norwegian forest cat, to which it is likely closely related. It is a medium to large sized, muscular breed with a bushy tail. The cat is an ancient breed that is now believed to be ancestral to all modern long-haired cats. The colorpoint variant or sister breed, called the Neva Masquerade, is categorised as a different cat breed by some registries, including Fédération Internationale Féline (FIFé) and World Cat Federation (WCF). Formerly, sometimes the names Moscow Semi-Longhair and Russian Longhair were also used. The formal name of the breed is Siberian Forest Cat, but it is typically referred to as the Siberian or Siberian cat. The Siberian is a centuries-old landrace (natural variety) of domestic cat in Russia and recently developed as a formal breed with standards promulgated the world over since the late-1980s.
