Rusik Siberian Cats

23/12/2024

We attended LCWW Fluffs and Whiskars regional awards show this Saturday and Sunday.
We brought NO*StiSi Mikito who did very well and received 7 finals in total. He did so well in his first adult show that he became both champion and grand champion in just one show❤️. He’s a little superstar!!
In addition to this we’re received his rosette from his junior show career 2023-2024 where he became 8th best junior overall for the season.
Risk Handsome Hannah came to her first show. On Saturday she was quite nervous, but by Sunday she was getting used to it and showed herself much better. She received 5 finals and have become Junior champion.
Druzhina Xfactor Xavi also came along. Even though he’s going through a teenage stage, he got very nice comments from the judges and received 7 finals, also becoming Junior Champion, just a few points away from Junior Grand Champion😻

Overall a great show and thank you to all the judges and show organisers.

Very happy day in the Rusik cattery today.
We have had 9 of our cats heart scanned by board certified cardiologist Vicky Ironside and are happy to report that everyone has healthy hearts.

The cats scanned were:
Chudacha Zaimka (4th scan)
Einhaugens Yamila (2nd scan)
Felississmus Amara (2nd scan)
Einhaugens Gunder ( 2nd scan)
Rusik Fantastic Ffion (1st scan)
Rusik Excellent Ella (1st scan)
Rusik Magnificent Mamma Mia (2nd scan)
Rusik Odin (3rd scan)
Rusik Eydis (2nd scan)

Stisi Mikito and Rusik Delightful Freyja was heart scanned earlier this year, which means all adult cats in the cattery have healthy hearts at the moment.
Only the two youngsters to scan when they turn a year old.

Hi, I'm Lana!

I'm a seven year old former breeding cat turned gorgeous family pet.

I am the friendliest cat you will ever meet. I love cuddles, affection, being on laps, being brushed, and even climbing onto shoulders! I am confident, curious and can be chatty. I like to chase laser pointers. I like kids but prefer to be the only pet. Be careful leaving your food out in the kitchen, I can't resist having a nose!

I am looking for a loving home where I can be given lots of attention and care. I'll be a devoted companion and will delight your guests with my friendly nature - I've never met a lap I didn't like! I have some plaque on my teeth, but otherwise I'm in great health and should be with you for many years to come.

My current family has had some health needs arise, which mean they can't look after me properly anymore. They would like nothing more than to see me go to a loving home.

Xavi has now been with us for a almost a month and he's developing nicely. 3.3 kgs today and loves his food.
He's tested clear on his PCR tests and FIV/FELV tests so introduction to the other cats underway. We take it slowly so that nobody gets to stressed😊.
He's still very cuddly and starts purring if I just look at him😻😻

Our beautiful girl Khaleesi who is 3 years old is looking for a new lap for cuddles. Khaleesi is now neutered after having had two litters in our cattery. It is time for her to find some lovely new slaves.
Khaleesi is very cuddly when she gets to know you. She’s been an outstanding mother and we love her so much.
She needs a very special lap.

Welcome Druzhina XFactor Xavi and thank you to Clare for this beautiful boy!

Hopefully you'll get to meet him at some shows in the near future!!

I’d like to talk about cat weight and obesity in cats. Many Siberian owners come to me and tell me their vet has told them their cat is overweight.
They often say that the vet doesn’t understand the Siberian breed, but I’d like to just say that generally a vet does not need to understand any particular breed to tell if a cat is overweight or not. They learn to judge the condition of the cat, not look at the number on the scale.

So for example my big 7 kgs breeding male, Odin, is not overweight. He is pure muscle. But my smaller boy Cyrus is 6 kg and is overweight. How does that work?
It all comes down to body condition. Odin is broad, muscly and 4 years old. Cyrus is not as broad (he will be in time) and only 1 year old, but absolutely loves his food. He isn’t hugely overweight, but he has a fat pouch between his back legs. So Cyrus is on a diet and not allowed near the fridge😂.

Siberians do not keep growing until they are 5 years old, but they keep maturing. This means that they will grow wider in the head, shoulders and body. A bit like a teenage boy who might look a bit scrawny as a 15 year old, but by the time they are 18-20 years old their shoulders, chest and jaw have got wider. Similar with Siberians. They don’t continue growing, just maturing.

I think it’s very important to be aware of the chart below. Obesity is cats can cause some horrible health conditions, for example diabetes, which again can lead to other life threatening conditions.
Siberians have been shown to have an obesity gene, therefore it’s important to be aware and manage your cats weight and diet accordingly.
