Health Care	Siberian cats are a hardy, robust breed that is typically very healthy. However, like all cats, they are susceptible to certain health problems. The most common health problems seen in Siberian cats are respiratory infections, feline herpesvirus, and feline calicivirus. Siberian cats should be vaccinated against these common viruses. They should also be kept up to date on their routine vaccinations, including rabies. In addition to vaccinations, good hygiene and regular vet check-ups are important for keeping your Siberian cat healthy. Siberian cats are also prone to certain genetic health problems. One of the most common is polycystic kidney disease, which is a progressive and incurable disease that eventually leads to kidney failure. Siberian cats are also at risk for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a heart condition that can be fatal. If you have a Siberian cat, it's important to work with your veterinarian to create a health care plan that is right for your cat. This may include routine bloodwork and urine testing, as well as regular check-ups.

History

The Siberian is a landrace of domestic cat, present in Russia for centuries, and more recently developed as a formal breed. They are large cats, with strong boning, long legs and thick tails. They have semi-long hair, which requires weekly grooming. Siberians are very vocal cats.

The Siberian cat is a natural breed from Russia that is also known by several other names including the Russian Forest Cat and the Moscow Semi-Longhair. The Siberian’s ancestors are thought to be the native forest cats of Siberia and the Steppe Cats of Central Asia. It is believed that the Siberian was introduced into Europe in the late 1800s by Russian sailors who brought them back from their travels.

The first recorded mention of the Siberian cat was in 1871 in St Petersburg when Dr Trutnev wrote an article describing a new type of longhaired cat. In 1884 another article appeared in Our Cats magazine written by Harrison Weir entitled ‘Long-haired Cats from Siberia’ In this article Weir described two types of long haired cats; one with blue eyes and one with copper eyes. He stated that these cats were brought to England by sailors and were known as ‘Siberian Cats’.

During the Soviet era, the Siberian nearly became extinct due to crossbreeding with other domestic shorthairs. It was not until 1987 when Elena Kovaleva started a breeding program using only purebred Siberians that the breed began to recover. The first litter of kittens was born in 1989, and by 1991 there were enough Siberians to hold a specialty show in Moscow where they were recognized as a formal breed. In 1996, the first Siberians were exported to America and Europe where they quickly gained popularity due to their loving dispositions and beautiful appearance
