# 1 Best Friend.  This is the best strategy for most kittens.  Having a feline buddy is physically and emotionally beneficial for cats.  It is simplest to provide that best friend from the beginning / early on.

These together toys are not to be left with your Siberian post play session. This is for two reasons: 1. safety these toys have parts Siberians an chew apart and swallow, and 2. to keep interest in your play sessions high. 

#4 Grooming & Snuggling your Siberian cat daily. Cats groom each other both out of necessity (parts of body they can't reach easily - back of head, jaws, etc), and also to bond and reenforce affiliation. Combing, brushing, stroking, and talking with your kitties provides this same type of sensation and well being to them, as well as allows you to know their healthy bodies well and therefor to be aware of early changes if your cat is not feeling well or is in ill health for some reason.
