In the Russian cat fancy each cat club devises its own standards. This fact create the many problems in US and other countries when first Siberian cat arrive and many appeared quite different from each other.

Their large round eyes give a sweet expression to their face. Siberians have a slight arch to their back, because their hind legs are a bit longer than the front legs. 

While there is no truly hypoallergenic cat or dog, the decreased dander qualities of the Siberian coat have been noted and commented on for almost ten years. While there is little scientific evidence, breeders and pet owners claim that Siberians can be safe for many allergy sufferers. Since females of all feline breeds produce lower levels of Fel d1, breeders often suggest that allergic families adopt female cats. Allergy sufferers are advised to check their reactivity directly with the parent cats from which they plan to adopt a kitten. Many people believe that the breed produces less Fel d1, the primary allergen present on cats.

In 1999 Indoor Biotechnologies tested the fur of four cats for Fel d 1 a mixed breed two Siberians  and an Abyssinian. The results showed the Siberian and Abyssinian cat fur as having lower Fel d 1 levels than the mixed breed cat. Indoor Biotechnologies cautions that the Siberian levels were still high. Indoor Biotechnologies warns against using these results to make decisions of pet ownership.

A not-for-profit association of breeders was founded in 2005 to study allergen levels and genetic diseases in the Siberian breed. As of March 2010 fur and saliva samples from over 300 Siberians have been submitted for analysis. Salivary Fel d1 allergen levels in Siberians ranged from 0.08-27 µg per ml of saliva, while fur levels ranged from 5-1300 µg. The high-end of these ranges is consistent with results from prior studies, though the low end is below expected results.

All Siberians tested were found to produce some Fel d1, with the highest levels being found in Siberians that have silver coloured fur. About half of Siberians were found to have Fel d1 levels lower than other breeds.

Fur:

This section needs additional citations for verification. Siberians express the three natural types of feline fur like guard hairs, awn hairs, and down. These three layers protect the cat from the Russian weather extremes, and provide a hardy and easy to care for coat today. The fur is textured but glossy which decreases the occurrence of matting.

In popular culture:

The variety can be seen in Russian paintings and writings dating back hundreds of years. This sets them apart from breeds that are the result of fairly recent selective breeding. 

At least one traditional Russian folktale, collected by Alexander Afanasyev, features a Siberian cat called Kotofej Ivanovich. One version of this is known as The Cat Who Became Head Forester.
