Siberian

You would expect a cat from the cold region of Russian Siberia to be stocky and longhaired, and this one definitely is, making this breed very similar to the Maine Coon and the Norwegian Forest Cat.

This cat is active, a good hunter and friendly toward humans but doesn’t have the makings of a good lap cat. Most Siberians have the look of longhaired tabby cats. They are fairly new to America, having been bred in the United States since only 1990.
