Characteristics of the Siberian cat
Before learning about the Siberian cat's diet, here are some curiosities about this highly sought-after breed.
The Siberian cat is famous for its thick, soft fur and its very sociable character.
As the name suggests, this breed is originally from Siberia and spread to Italy a few decades ago, becoming very popular and loved by adults and children.
Let's see its main features:

From a character point of view, the Siberian cat, while maintaining its wild instinct that makes it very independent, loves human contact… in fact, it is a great cuddle! A very faithful companion, another peculiarity of this breed is its tendency to become attached mainly to one person, towards whom it develops a strong protective instinct.
