MUZZLE: the muzzle is moderately short in length, full and rounded. There is no relationship between eye color and coat/color pattern except in the color points which have blue eyes.ĬHIN: the chin is well rounded but not protruding, and is in line with the nose. The eyes should be set more than one eye’s width apart and should be open, alert, and expressive. The outer corner angled slightly towards the base of the ear. Ear tipping is allowed.ĮYES: medium to large, almost round. From the middle of the ear, the furnishings become longer and cover the base of the ear. The hair over the back of the ear is short and thin. The ears should be set as much on the sides of the head as on top. Males will have well developed jowls and females will have a more moderate look.ĮARS: medium-large, rounded, wide at the base and tilt slightly forward. There should be a slight doming between the ears and an almost flat area on the forehead.
The cheekbones are neither high set nor prominent. The head is broader at the top of the skull and narrows slightly to a full-rounded muzzle. SHAPE: modified wedge of medium/large size with rounded contours, in good proportion to the body. The general impression is one of roundness and circles, rather than rectangles and triangles. Females are generally smaller than males and allowances should be considered when comparing females and young cats to the standard.
The breed is extremely slow to mature taking as long as 5 years. The overall appearance should be one of strength, presence, and alertness, with a sweet facial expression. The Siberian is a medium to medium large, strong triple coated cat with surprising heft for its size. This is a cat that nature designed to survive, with no extremes in type. GENERAL: the Siberian, Russia’s native forest cat, first appeared in recorded history around the year 1000 and hails from the unforgiving climate of Siberia.
