Temperament
In temperament it is close to the Siberian: confident and sociable, but usually a little calmer. It bonds with the whole family and readily accepts other animals.
Where the coloring comes from
A light body with a dark face, ears, paws, and tail is the colorpoint pattern, the same trait seen in Siamese cats. Pigment develops on the coolest parts of the body, so kittens are born almost white and the color darkens over time.
Grooming
The same as for the Siberian: combing once a week and more often during shedding. Check for mats behind the ears and on the belly.
Health
We have not found separate data on diseases in this breed. As with Siberian cats, heart screening is a good idea, and ask the breeder for the results of the parents' health checks.
