Our boys' names are both Russian, given that they're Siberian cats. Before we got our first one, I had "Albus" (as in Dumbledore from Harry Potter) picked out, but we found that it didn't super suit our guy when he got home. We had always been interested in calling him a Russian name, but we...

Ha, you would THINK that he's sweet and gentle from that video, but he's actually the world's biggest imp! That's the stillest he's been....well, forever - I think he was concentrating on getting a feel for the water. He gets into EVERYTHING and is a crazy little guy - he's taken now to...

Usually our two Siberian cats like to sit on the edge of the tub while I have a bath, and both like to knock things in and play with them. Yuri usually gets his arm right in. Tonight, he walked onto my legs, and his hind end fell in but he didn't seem to mind - he then sat in the tub with me for...

Hi there - I had the same problem with Liev (twice!), and both times he's later thrown it up. He actually didn't throw it up the first time until over four weeks after he swallowed it - the vet figured that it may have been sitting in his stomach and/or area where hairballs are created. He was...

Hi all - sorry if this question is repetitive - I could have sworn that I saw something like this posted a few days ago, but when it actually happened to us I couldn't find it! Our older kitten (Liev) rather aggressively grooms our younger kitten (Yuri). Yuri doesn't mind, but last night when...

Thank you for your kind words. She was definitely one of our family - I still remember it like it was yesterday, picking her out at the animal shelter. She and her littermates had been left out in a box by the side of the road to be picked up for garbage. We knew she was ours as soon as we saw...

Thank you, that is reassuring! It made me feel better that he acted normally around my friend, so hopefully this is just a temporary thing. I would love to show them, especially Liev, but I'm not sure if they can - along with "not for breeding" our breeder ticked off "not for showing" on his...

I received the call tonight that my childhood cat, Nikki, had died today. I had no idea that it would hurt this much - I keep trying to comfort myself that she had a long and wonderful 16 year life, but I'm really weighed down by a crushing sadness. We got Nikki when I was ten years old - our...

Hi all - I'm new to this forum, but would really like some advice and/or comfort about my introduction situation. We got Liev, our nine month old Siberian kitten in August, and he's got the most amazing personality. He's super affectionate, chatty, and always giving us kisses and cuddles. He...
