CATEGORY:
Traditional and Pointed
DIVISIONS :
All
COLOURS:
All.
PERMISSIBLE OUTCROSSES:
None
HEAD:
Shape: Modified wedge of
medium/large size with rounded contours, in good proportion
to the body. The head is broader at the top of the skull and
narrows slightly to a full-rounded muzzle. The cheekbones
are neither high set nor prominent.
Ears:
Medium-large, rounded, and tilt slightly forward. The ears
should be set as much on the sides of the head as on top.
Ideal position is one to one-ear width apart. The hair over
the back of the ear is short and thin. From the middle of
the ear, the furnishings become longer and cover the base of
the ear. Lynx tipping allowable.
Eyes:
Large, almost round, with the outer corner angled slightly
towards the base of the ear. The eyes should be set more
than one eye’s width apart. There is no relationship between
eye colour and coat colour / pattern.
Chin: The
chin is well-rounded but not protruding, and is in line with
the nose.
Muzzle: The
muzzle is short in length, full and rounded. There is a
slight muzzle curvature, but the transition between the side
of the head and the muzzle is gentle and inconspicuous.
Profile:
The top of the head is almost flat, with a slight nose
curvature of a gentle slope from the forehead to the nose
and a slight convex curvature before the tip when viewed in
profile.
Neck:
Rounded, substantial and well-muscled.
Body:
Torso: The body is medium in
length, and well-muscled with the back arched slightly
higher than the shoulders, with a barrel-shaped, firm belly
giving the sensation of solid weight (which appears with
age).
Legs:
Medium in length. The hind legs are slightly longer than the
front, and should have substantial boning.
Feet: The
feet are big and rounded, with toe tufts desirable.
Tail: The tail is medium in length, wide at the base,
tapering slightly to a blunt tip. The tail should be
somewhat shorter than the length of the body.
Boning: Substantial.
Musculature: Substantial, powerful.
COAT / COLOUR / PATTERN:
Length: This is a moderately long
to longhaired cat with a triple coat. The hair on the
shoulder blades and lower part of the chest being thick and
slightly shorter. There should be an abundant ruff setting
off the head. There is a tight undercoat (in mature cats),
thicker in cold weather. Allow for warm weather coats. The
hair may thicken to curls on the belly and britches, but a
wavy coat is not characteristic.
Texture: Varies coarse to soft, varying according to
colour.
Pattern: Clear patterns are desirable, but secondary
to type.
Colour: All traditional and pointed
colours and combinations are accepted with or without
white. White or off-white allowed on chin, breast and stomach
of tabbies; white allowed in most areas. Strong colours are
desirable, but secondary to type.
OTHER:
Balance: Well-proportioned.
Condition: Excellent health in good
overall condition.
Temperament: Must be unchallenging.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The Siberian is a medium-large cat with
the overall appearance of excellent physical condition,
strength and power, modified by a sweet facial expression.
The general impression of the body is one of circles and
roundness. Siberians are slow to mature, taking as long as 5
years to reach full maturity. Females are considerably
smaller than males, and allowances should be made when
comparing females and young cats to the standard. Size is
secondary to type.
ALLOWANCES:
Because the Siberian is a slow maturing
breed, coat and physical structure should be taken into
consideration when judging kittens and young adults.
Buttons, spots, and lockets.
PENALIZE:
Straight profile, narrow muzzle, long
tail, delicate boning, non-muscular, long body, almond
shaped
eyes, very long legs.
WITHHOLD ALL AWARDS (WW):
Evidence of illness, poor health, emaciation, visible tail
fault.
