Siberian cats are known to have athletic and stocky bodies.While females can weigh from 10 to 15 pounds, male Siberians can weigh 15 to 20 pounds, with more muscular males weighing up to 25 pounds. These cats are quite agile and acrobatic.
Siberian cats sport medium longhair coats. You can expect your Siberian to shed twice a year. Their long heavy coat sheds in the spring, while the shorter coat sheds in the autumn.
Happily, Siberian cats are a hardy and healthy breed overall. However, they are still bred for their specific characteristics and therefore are prone to some health conditions, and that is usually heart disease.
The average lifespan of a Siberian cat is 12 to 15 years. The good thing is that these cats are not prone to many genetic health issues; overall, they live a long and happy life.
