He’s her nephew cause she’s my dads cat and he’s my cat lol

My sweet Doodle (she’s 2 years old) always joins me in the bathroom and gives me tail hugs or chills in the sink 💜

Roughly 7lbs so far, although it's been a few weeks since we've weighed him! So majestic.

Meet my fluffy orange baby Butters! He has many things to say and talks almost all day long - I wish I knew what he was saying but half the time I’m sure he’s trying to tell me his plans for world domination. :) I got him for 30$ off craigslist 3 years ago lol - best impulse idea of my life! He definitely had a growth spurt and I quickly realized he was going to be a big kitty! I thought he was a ragdoll at first but I’d say he is definitely a siberian kitty!

Meeps’ real name is Arya The Assassin (like actually…it’s on her pet insurance).

i have a 3 year old boy who gets fed wet and dry food 2x (morning + evening) a day, but is a slooooow eater and grazes throughout the day, rather immediately gobbling everything down at once. he's not super food motivated (other than treats) and prefers his dry kibble over his wet food.

his 3 month old sister came home a week ago and is definitely more food motivated. she has a separate kitten room where she gets fed her own kitten wet & dry food, 2x a day, but her being a kitten with no attention span, she gets too excited to eat her own food sometimes, and i've found her eating her brothers wet food a several times now. this is leading to some swats and hisses from him.

my current solution is to put his food on the countertop, but isn't ideal because:

1. he was already a picky eater and now he's not eating his full portions of wet food (if at all)
2. i dont want him eating on the counters!

does anyone have any advice on establishing a boundary for her that also allows him to continue to eat at his own pace? i don't want to have to lock him in a room in order for him to eat his wet food

EDIT: my main issue is with her eating his WET food. microchip feeders for their dry food are already on the way 😸

Hi all! I have a question. Do any of you know how to look up the pedigree registration numbers (non-USA) ? Especially, German, Ukrainian and Russian registrations. Are they available online? Do you know of any ( local ) websites? Google is not of much help, sadly. I am asking this question as I have received a pedigree of my cute Siberian kitten with ancestors and registration numbers and would like to verify them. If anyone has any pointers it would be of great help thank you so much 😊

Hi all,

What type of brushes do you use on your Siberians?

I have a cat that has a Siberian-esque coat, and I have not found a brush that he and I are both happy with.

We've tried:

• Nylon bristle - loves it, but its only good for his face - useless on his body
• Wire bristle/slicker - he doesn't like it most of the time, and it can't grab his fur - brush comes up empty. It does loosen his fur up a little bit - he'll usually come shed it onto me later though.
• Silicon brushes/mitts - they work, but he absolutely hates all of them, so I only use them when he's blowing his winter coat.

His coat is longish, very very soft and silky and he is double/triple-coated. Moderate shedder - more than our shorthair, much less than you'd expect from a kitty of his floofy gloriousness, and not at all prone to matting. He gets 2-4 tufts in his mane when he blows his winter coat, that's it.

My boy is now 10, and he's started to slow down on his grooming and having more trouble with furballs, so I'm keen to find a brush that works for us both to keep him happy and healthy.

I'm considering trying some human brushes, but thought I'd ask here first and see if you had any advice for managing this type of coat. Ideally, I'm after something that will be able to pull and catch loose fur.

This is really weird, but my Siberian Ragdoll cat does (and always has) smell like hand perfume/ soap! No one in my family uses like, hand lotion or anything, and she dosent take baths! No one in my family even uses perfume! SO WHY DOES SHE SMELL LIKE HONEYSUCKLE AND APRICOT HANDLOTION WITH A TOUCH OF MINT? (Ive been thinking about this a lot if you cant tell lol)
