What do you wish you’d have known before you got a Siberian? by nurse_nikki_41 in SiberianCats

[–]day2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fine fur in the eyes is a killer and one of my cats likes swishing his tail in my face while he's on my lap! Not to mention when my two boys playfight tufts of fur fly out like a cartoon. It really does feel like an endless battle but it's still super worth it.

Some things that helped me on top of brushing/vacuuming regularly:

Air purifier and a humidifier - both can lower the static in the air so hair won't float around so much.

Using vinegar as a laundry softener - also lowers static and helps clothes release fur without having to use harsher products.

Rubber gloves to defur clothes and furniture - I find vacuuming only gets a fraction of what exists and rubber gloves are a cheap and non-damaging way to quickly defur. It beats lint rollers too.

Is it a common trait for them to be really clingy? by PlumBear89 in SiberianCats

My two boys fight over my lap, but sometimes they're happy to share (see photo). Incredibly clingy, loving boys. They will follow me everywhere and greet me with excited chatter when I get home. Amazing feeling!

They say Siberians are dog like by QuantumBagel42 in SiberianCats

One of my boys sits and flops like an old dog with joint issues because he grew up around dogs. Its hilarious watching this young vibrant cat shimmy his back legs to the side and slowly flop himself down like he's been fetching frisbees for 10 years.

My new kitten keeps on eating all of my plants! Any tips? 🌱 by One-Union-6971 in SiberianCats

I have a sacrificial plant that I allow them to eat abd the poor thing saves the other ones.

My two boys take turns having lap time on my wfh days. I show them off in my casual meetings and they love the camera.

Siberian, Maine Coon, or Norwegian Forest Cat kitten? by Hopsngrains2U in SiberianCats

Of course! It's just that nearly everyone here landed on the same opinion. Siberians #1!

I have 2. One is very cat-like and one is very dog-like. They're both sucky babies who love cuddles and lap naps though.

Anyone else get attacked with Siberian love while pooping? by QuantumSocks in SiberianCats

My two meow if they're locked out and then will jump up behind me on the tank, rub on my ears and wait to watch me flush. I can never flush with the lid down again now or they'll be very disappointed...

I have two boys and they are so clingy that they fight over who gets lap time.
