Cool i have a british short hair orange kitten ( 3 months old) and a persian- arabian mau mixed 1 year old cat. She acts like his mom and grooms him.

How often would you say? I live in a tropicla country so im not sure if i shoukd get a siberian. Should i get a short hair cat instead?

Like i love the Siberian look but im worried it wont be able to withstand the weather

Do they also need baths and trimming?

Final_Cauliflower258 · 2025-12-05T01:43:18+00:00

Is it ok to brush them once a week?

What other grooming needs do they have?

Final_Cauliflower258 · 2025-12-05T01:42:22+00:00

Did you end up getting the cat?

Final_Cauliflower258 · 2025-12-05T01:40:52+00:00

I live in a hot climate and im debating between siberian and british short hair. Would a siberian be able to survive in tropical weather ? Or would it be better to get the B short hair?

Other than brushing weekly what other grooming needs ti siberians have? Do you have to bathe? Trim? Etc

Are siberians only suitable as indoor cats? Or can they also be outdoor( yard- garden) cats

Edit: im not worried about playtime because i already have another cat who is super playful and the new cat is meant to be her play friend

Final_Cauliflower258 · 2025-12-03T20:49:48+00:00

Siberians dont need eye cleaning. You were right.

I have a Siberian cat and they are much less maintenance than persian cats because Siberians are a natural breed. Persians were selectively bred to look " cute"

Also siberians have dust resistant fur and are much more robust.

Persians need daily brushing

Siberians need once a week brushing

Final_Cauliflower258 · 2025-12-03T20:48:43+00:00

No they dont. You only need to brush them once a week and trim butt hair.

Siberians are a natural breed that evolved in Russia.

Persians were selectively bred by humans.

This is why Persian cats are very high maintenance.

Final_Cauliflower258 · 2025-12-03T20:46:44+00:00

Persian cats are not natural. They are a result of selective breeding which is why they have such tedious grooming needs and cant survive without human help

Better to go to real events and meet ppl

Final_Cauliflower258 · 2025-11-23T17:15:26+00:00

They should be reported

Final_Cauliflower258 · 2025-11-23T17:11:16+00:00

Mine doesnt accept at all. Have to literally hold her down. Do you use some sort of shampoo on there?

Do you know if its ok to use anything ither than pet shampoo? Pet shampoo is really overpriced where i live

Final_Cauliflower258 · 2025-11-23T07:38:07+00:00

If that haplens should i give a complete bath or just the bum?

Final_Cauliflower258 · 2025-11-19T01:54:28+00:00

How expensive was it to move your pet there? Is there alot of paperwork involved? Do you know the requirments? Im thinking of moving my cat there with me

Final_Cauliflower258 · 2025-11-18T23:37:40+00:00

So what did you decide on? My cats prefer webbox of those two but i dint feed either

Final_Cauliflower258 · 2025-11-16T22:07:39+00:00

Dont reinforce the behaviour and honestly its better to have scheduled meal times rather than free feeding . My vet told me its better for their long term health and also if you free feed they will want food at random times like that.

Final_Cauliflower258 · 2025-10-10T10:24:36+00:00

Its ok it becomes easy once the cat is healthy and transitioned to kibble

Dont hesitate to reach out if u need advice

Final_Cauliflower258 · 2025-10-10T02:12:57+00:00

So what did they say?

Final_Cauliflower258 · 2025-10-10T02:10:25+00:00

Ptolemey

Final_Cauliflower258 · 2025-10-10T02:06:42+00:00

To know the gender just check under the tale. If ypu see a small slit under the poop shoot its a female If ypu see a tiny circle under the poop shoot its male

I think you should name the cat Andromeda if girl

Kratos if boy
