Classics are rarer as they are genetically recessive. Here are some pictures of the mackerel, classic, spotted, smoke and shaded Siberians. These Siberians are nick named "Neva Masquerades". Siberians do also come in a pointed pattern like the Siamese or Birman markings- these cats will have a pale body and colour only on their faces and legs and tail. Solid colours combined with the silver gene result in "smokes". no tabby pattern or rather their genetic pattern is hidden or masked by their solid colour) like black or blue. All of these patterns will have the tabby "M" on their forehead, stripes on their legs and spots on their tummies. Siberian cats can have mackerel (striped), classic (blotched), spotted (the stripes on their sides are broken up into spots) or shaded tabby patterns (where the pattern is faded out- this can occur in goldens and silvers). Like all the pictures on our site, the photos on this page are either pictures of our breeding cats or pictures of kittens we have bred. It is worth noting that Siberian coats can change dramatically with age, often the markings can fade and the coats get lighter in colour.

It is not a full listing of what is possible for a Siberian cat, it just lists some of the beautiful kittens we have had so far!. This page is intended to help you understand what we mean by the different colour names. Our kittens will all have green/gold eyes (though all kitten's eyes start out blue). We now have the genes to produce reds and torties which will be a fun change for us. Some of our kittens will be "with white" and some "high white" but most will be without white. Here at snowgum we focus on breeding browns, goldens and silvers and occasionally blues. Siberian cats come in a wide variety of colours.
