Siberian cats are also great for people who love dogs. With the recent news that Keir Starmer has adopted a Siberian cat, Google searches for the popular pet have increased by 125%. The Prime Minister told BBC Radio 5 Live that his children originally wanted a dog, but they settled on a kitten instead.
“When an iconic institution like 10 Downing Street brings home a pet, it naturally captures the public's imagination,” says Pets4Homes CEO Axel Lagercrantz.
“Siberian kittens are not just trending because of their newfound fame — they're also fantastic pets, known for their affectionate personalities and playful energy. They're one of the few breeds with hypoallergenic coats, which is ideal for environments such as 10 Downing Street, in case any staff or visitors have a cat allergy”.
Kate Staveley, a breeder and the honorary secretary of the Siberian Cat Club, told The Guardian: “Sibbies' are regarded by experts as being more like dogs than other cats. They are known to be highly intelligent, inquisitive and can be trained.”
