In terms of shedding, Siberians are considered moderate shedders—less than many other breeds with similar coat types. They typically won’t leave excessive hair behind after lounging on your furniture or your lap. The heaviest shedding occurs seasonally: in the spring when they shed their thick winter coats, and again in the fall as they transition from their lighter summer coats. During the winter months, more frequent brushing may be needed, depending on the individual cat. In warmer months, brushing is generally less demanding unless you reside in a cooler climate. Our kittens are introduced to regular grooming early on to ensure they’re comfortable with brushing and coat maintenance.
