you have a mix of one of these beauties...Unequivocally, yes.
Oh my gosh thank you haha. That eases my mind a bit. I have 3 cats of my own right now. My partner and I helped a neighbor catch 3 kittens last week that I'm currently fostering. We've always fostered kittens whenever we could and helped to find them good homes after getting them their shots and sometimes even neutered if it fit in with my school schedule (vet tech program). We must've helped over 10 cats so far if you count the babies with me right now.
Very true. I would hope that any kitten that comes into my care would form a bond with me as I try my very hardest to show them love and appreciation while still respecting their boundaries
However, consider; my Big Guy looks a whole lot like a Turkish Angora, but he isn't papered. Who am I to quibble that he is, or isn't, purebred?
In other words, in my opinion when it comes down to the cat itself, love and bonding is going to happen whether the feline in question has a documented lineage back to before the pharaohs, or happens not to have that paperwork.
I sure hope if I do get a Siberian that they learn to love me.
I can't imagine not, you sound like a wonderful person and a wonderful cat person.

Thank you so much! You seem like a great person as well. I'm so grateful that you commented on my post. Have a great day!
Aww, 2 of the kitties I'm raising are lynx points <3 I've always loved them and wanted one, and now there are 2 next to me! I'm pretty sure I'm keeping 1 haha.
Oh by the way, can you please message me like all the pictures of your cats? Haha
Aww thank you. I do have a specific breed dog from a breeder. I guess I'm more okay with it because it's so much more common for someone to have a specific breed of dog. It's more widely accepted. Specific breeds of cats aren't even that common to the average person. All people who I know have cats are all just DSH, DMH, DLH. No pedigree cat at all.
Aww thank you! So true, all cats are different. I have yet to meet 2 that are the same. And wow, how do you do it?? I want to have 7 eventually <3 I know I'd still be able to handle them care and maintenance wise.
OH MY GOSH HE IS GORGEOUS. I AM IN LOVE. Thank you for your addition to this post!I have 2 rescues (that I literally rescued) and 2 purebreds. I love my purebreds too much to feel even an ounce of guilt about them. tibby (my siberian) is my little bear. he is my favorite and he has attached to me. he likes my husband ok but I'm mama cat. I've pretty much decided I will always have a siberian cat. there is just nothing that is unlovable about him. he's also gorgeous. that said he was a high speed brat when he was a kitten. now he's a brat but not constantly so. he still looks like a kitten. he likes to get up high. he is an incredible jumper. he's an ambush hunter which is pretty funny. he taught my other cats how to ambush. in short I have nothing but praise for the breed. he's also been incredibly healthy other than having a tendency to have herpes flare ups. I've always had forest cats and forest cats as a general rule tend to be huge. siberians are supposed to be huge. he's never been over 10 pounds. that said he's also been hyperactive and skinny as a rail (but totally golden on health check ups) I think if he were a proper weight he'd probably be 12 or 13 pounds with a little fat on his belly like your typical neutered male. we offer him as much food as he likes. i wonder if his sniffer isn't what it could be or something.
