Siberian cats are known for their beautiful, long, triple-layer, water-repellent coat. The stunning cats’ coats can come in a variety of colors and patterns, and the breed is also marked by their intelligence and curiosity. Energetic and playful, Siberian cats love to play games and even learn tricks. Unlike many other types of cats with an aloof temperament, Siberian cats are affectionate, loving, loyal, and love to cuddle with their humans. For one social Siberian living in Italy, socializing means trying to replace the baby of the family, which seems to go unnoticed by his human family.
In a sweet video (complete with a Curb Your Enthusiasm theme song soundtrack), a family’s cute Siberian cat seemingly joins the family at the dinner table as they watch TV. With the only empty seat at the table being the baby’s high chair, the affectionate feline climbs in and makes itself right at home in the high chair as if hoping no one will notice it’s a cat baby, not a human baby.
The kitty finally scores some hard-earned snuggles and rubs from grandma and basks as she gently scratches the cat’s neck and face. This Siberian’s main character energy is as charming as it is adorable.
Do Siberian Cats Need a Lot of Attention?
Many cats are known to be standoffish and would rarely be described as affectionate, but Siberians have an almost doglike energy as they love to play, cuddle, and enjoy interactive toys. While Siberians aren’t known to be needy or clingy, they do enjoy being part of the family and want to join in on family activities.
A highly intelligent breed of cat, Siberians do require playtime, mental stimulation, and affection that keeps them engaged and stimulated.
Siberians are so smart, don’t be surprised if yours figures out how to open drawers or climb into high spaces.
Siberians thrive with scheduled playtime using wand toys or puzzle feeders, and their love for jumping and climbing can be assuaged by investing in a tall cat tree or perch.
Consider your Siberian more a companion than a quiet cat, which may mean yours will thrive with another cat in the house to buddy up with and play.
