The Breed

Personality & temperament.

Siberians are often described as having 'dog-like' personalities because of how deeply connected they become to their families.

Common traits

  • Following owners around
  • Greeting people at the door
  • Trilling and chirping
  • High emotional intelligence
  • Affectionate companionship
  • Strong loyalty
  • Curiosity and intelligence
  • Excellent family compatibility
  • Dog like attributes
  • Some even love to play fetch

They are extremely social cats that generally do very well with children, dogs, and other animals.

I do not suggest getting a Siberian if you are away for the majority of the day or travel frequently — unless you have two cats. Even if you spend a lot of time at home, they do best with a friend.

They are very social cats. They love their people and other cats.
