The Siberian is a recognized breed of cat. Siberians are strong and powerfully built, with well proportioned characteristics. They are generally intelligent, playful, affectionate and loyal. Their fur is plush, without the tendency to mat, and some claim that it is hypoallergenic. (There is currently a study underway, commissioned at the University of California (at Davis) to find out about this claim.)
