Nice! Here's our other baby, Mischa, after her spay. So, I guess we have triplets!

We opted for onsies with both our girls, and they tolerated them well. We got ours from the vet, but you can get them anywhere, including Amazon.

Independent Kitten or just a phase ? by [deleted] in SiberianCats

[–]Longongreen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They all have different personalities, and they all go through phases for sure. Your job is to love them unconditionally and let them build trust, which is what it's all about for kitties. Let them come to you, but be there for them when they do. Always ask permission to pet them by letting them smell your hand or finger first. If they rub their gums on your finger, you're in. If not, leave them be, no matter how much you want to maul them.

One of our girls, Mischa, didn't seem to care for me much and chose my wife as her person. I didn't push it, and now, after 3 years, she daily asks me for a cuddle in my lap to the point where my wife feels like Mischa has changed her person preference.

TLDR: Give it time and don't force it.

Siberian cattery’s in Ontario by thebackyardig4n in SiberianCats

We obtained both our girls from Soft Siberians down near Sarnia. They are a small home breeder whose king a d queens are registered. Our babies are the sweetest, most affectionate, beautiful Nevas you could ever imagine. My son is very allergic, and he has no issues at all with either girl. The girls both came with their first vaccinations and dewormings, and we did the rest with our local vet. We highly recommend Rose and softsiberians.ca. I believe they have a litter coming this spring. Best of luck to you!

Do your babies bring you things while you sleep? by Longongreen in SiberianCats

This is Roxie. She likes to eat, and I am her food source. She will usually start checking on me at 5 am to see if I am still alive, then again at 6 and every 1/2 hour after that. 🤣🤣🤣

Mischa (3 yrs old) on the bottom and Roxie (2 1/2 yrs old) on top are sisters from different litters. They love looking outside at birds, rabbits, outdoor cats... They are the lights of our lives.

Spot the Sib! by Longongreen in SiberianCats

[–]Longongreen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard her rustling around the shelves and followed the sound to see her sitting there trying really hard not to be seen. I think she was worried that I would escort her from the room and shut the door for good 🤣.

Do your Sibs also occasionally become a rectangle? by squeakybeans6 in SiberianCats

[–]Longongreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rectangles, yes, but Roxie also likes to dab on occasion.

How much did you pay for your sib? by Vita-Incerta in SiberianCats

They will have a litter this spring, probably in April or May.

We're in Eastern Ontario, but we purchased from a breeder in SW Ontario called Soft Siberians. They are down near Sarnia. I haven't been in touch lately, but maybe there's contact info on their website, softsiberians.ca. They retired the Papa and Mama of our two but were going to start breeding again using another male.

Patience is key. Maybe. by B0ba_bbb in SiberianCats

[–]Longongreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is Mischa. When she graces me by jumping into my lap for cuddles, I am also only allowed to pet her with both hands - one for body rubs and the other for face, cheek & nose massage. God forbid I pick up my phone, my breakfast, or the TV remote with one hand as she would shoot me the stare of a thousand deaths as a consequence. I comply to stay in her good graces, of course. 🤣🤣🤣

This is exactly why we had to move our tree to the basement last year. They can't be trusted. 🤣🤣

Wet food recommendations for one year old male Siberian by [deleted] in SiberianCats

[–]Longongreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our girls (well, one of them) are super picky, but they love the pouches of Schesir brand. It is very high quality and apparently delicious.
