The Siberian is a domestic cat breed that has been present in Russia for centuries.
A longer name of the breed is Siberian Forest Cat, but it is usually referred to as the Siberian or the Siberian cat.[3] Another name for it is the Moscow Semi-longhair.The cat is an ancient breed that is now believed to be ancestral to all modern long-haired cats.
The cat has similarities with the Norwegian Forest Cat, to which it is likely closely related.[3] It is a natural breed of Siberia and the national cat of Russia.
While it began as a landrace, it is selectively bred and pedigreed today in at least seven major cat fancier and breeder organisations. The colorpoint variant of the breed is called the Neva Masquerade by some registries, including Feline Federation Europe.
