Siberian cats of white color: description of the breed and features of care

Many people want to have an animal in the house. Cats are best suited for these purposes. They are neat and get along well with people due to the fact that for a long time they are next to a person. Some do not care what breed the pet will be, but other breeders prefer only certain species. For example, Siberian cats. They are smart, beautiful, have good health.

This type of animal got its name from the name of the area in which the breed appeared and developed. In the harsh conditions of Siberia, cats found a thick beautiful fur. This breed has long been of interest to breeders far beyond the homeland. Siberian cat - semi-long-haired, has a very rich undercoat. Therefore, she looks so magnificent. In winter, a magnificent collar forms on the neck of the Siberians, and the legs are surrounded by panties.

Cats are classified as large breeds. They are distinguished by short legs, wide pads on the feet, muscular body, fluffy tail. No need to pay attention to the fact that these animals look more than massive against the background of other breeds. A powerful physique does not prevent them from being active and graceful. In addition, wool gives them a large amount. Therefore, they look presentable.

There are certain breed standards.

• At the withers, adults reach: 30 cm - cats, 40 cm - cats.
• Their weight can range from 6 to 10 kg.
• Animals live for about 15–20 years.
• They are distinguished by a serious and delicate nature. They are devoted to their master and, like toy terriers, always choose one person whom they love and obey. From other family members will also take caresses, play with children.They can stand up for loved ones, despite the mortal threat.
• Siberians are distinguished by high intelligence. They are well trained, but have a very independent character. Therefore, the cat itself must want to do something. This breed of cats is not very sociable. They are unobtrusive. These qualities appear when strangers appear in the house.
• Although the coat is very thick, it is hypoallergenic. The fur coat is waterproof.
• There are various colors, but there are basic ones: cream, red, black, white.

Animals of white color with blue eyes stand out against the background of their relatives. Their color was formed by combining different genes: the recessive allele of the Angora albino and the allele of superdominant white W (White). And when mating from an animal with an animal of a different color, we may well get completely white kittens if they inherit the W gene.

Often, white cats with blue eyes are born deaf. Future owners should consider this fact: such an animal will not be allowed to the exhibition. Common requirements at exhibitions: any animal that has a uniform color should not have additional spots. The same requirements apply to completely white Siberians.

Breeders should know that in order to get a full-fledged color, cats of a traditional color must be hybridized with a color point.

It must be remembered that any animal requires attention and care. Young kittens are very active, so your pet will start running, jumping and playing wherever it wants at the first opportunity. So that he does not destroy your home, try to organize small walks, preferably in the fresh air. This must be done necessarily and as often as possible: the cat must somewhere burn its energy and realize hunting instincts.

The most serious problem is thick coat. She constantly needs to be combed out. To do this, there are special scallops that are sold in pet stores. So that an adult animal does not resist, when you pass a scallop through your body, you need to accustom it to this procedure from a very early age. The kitten needs to be combed out every day for 4–5 minutes. Then this procedure will eventually become a habit and will only be a joy. By the way, the fur and fluff of cats warm very well.

Do not forget that the kitten should be treated like a child. Teach him to behave appropriately and teach hygiene. Clean your ears regularly with cotton swabs dipped in a special solution. You cannot cut the claws on your own. Call your veterinarian for help. However, this procedure will not be needed if you accustom the Siberian to the scratching post. And then he will adjust the length of the claws on his own.

Bathing is mandatory, but it needs to be carried out only 1-2 times every six months. Keep in mind that cats can independently monitor their hygiene. Siberians almost do not get sick. How to produce preventive measures to eliminate various parasites, the veterinarian will tell you.

From the first days of your stay, teach your kitten to the tray and bowl. These essentials should be allocated a special space. And also your pet should have a resting place. Do not let him sleep in your bed. Animals get used to such places very quickly, and it will be difficult to wean them from this.

You need to feed your cat protein food. It should be two-thirds of meat products. Slices (approximately 100 g) of low-fat mutton, rabbit meat or beef each time, boil with boiling water and chop before serving.Fish should be fed only in boiled form, since many parasites are present in it.

If you decide to try treat the cat with offal, such as the liver, then they also need to be boiled. Teach your pet to greens, vegetables and dairy products. Combine and alternate different types of food in the formation of the diet.

If you decide to add quality food to your pet’s diet, first buy a small pack and see if the animal will eat it, and also look at the body’s reaction. You should know that from a poor-quality food, a cat may lose hair.

If you are giving your pet dry food, be sure to place a bowl of clean water next to it. Cats cannot do without water. It is better to give specialized food in the mornings when you do not have enough time, and in the evening, be sure to treat your pet with natural food.
