Love Letters from our Kitten Families
We are absolutely, positively in love!! I have never seen two young cats walk out of their pet taxi purring and acting like they were part of the family from minute one!
The are so tolerant of the 5 year old twins picking them up and holding them. Plus they already seem to love my older son, my husband and me! And they are soooo beautiful! Thanks tons, we are one happy family!!

It is so nice to see that they do not cower from my active and sometimes loud son or our active golden retriever. They both love "mousing" at home and still all my son's small stuffed animals and their toys as if they had "hunted" them and bring them to some weird place. I usually have 4 stuffed animals in my bathroom or in the tub!
The times when they like to show just how different they are. Milo is like the male lion and always eats first while Mira waits for him to finish and she eats, just like in the wild.
Do I sound like a proud "mom?" I am! I love these two "new" members of our family, who we have had since April, and are looking forward to many more years with our lovable, wonderful Siberians. Thanks again!
Best,
Tracy
P.S. I forgot to mention how BEAUTIFUL they have become. They are growing every day and have the perfect patterns and colors that we wanted.

Their personalities are as different as any brother and sister would be. Milo is "my buddy" and he always needs to be with me. He is very active and curious, always exploring and getting into "trouble." He is my special friend and thinks I'm "his" and if his sister wants to sit with me, he give her this nasty look and walks away! Not that it means any fighting between them--he just thinks no one should be with me except for him. He only cries when it's the morning and he is looking for breakfast.
Mira is "my pretty" and she only cries when she greets, basically saying, "Hi! Please cuddle with me." She is everyone's snuggle buddy and shows no favorites. She is very tolerant of my two-year-old son and will let him hold her for gentle pats. She has even started coming over for pats from him. She is such a sweet girl, but don't get me wrong. She tends to instigate the "late evening crazy run around the house / catch me if you can / wrestle and chase sessions" with Milo!

Hi, Kate.
I wanted to post an update on Milo and Mira on how happy we all are (cats and people included!) and for anyone considering a Siberian who looks at your site they could get a hugely positive endorsement!
I last wrote in June, so I thought I'd send another note for you (and all the world) to see. If anyone is considering a Siberian, I hope my experience will help them make the decision that YES--this is a wonderful breed of cat.
ForestWind Milo and Mira (born 01/04/08) are amazing. We could not have found a better fit for our family. They are everything we were looking for--sociable, friendly, sweet, playful, large, with soft and cuddly fur, great with our dog and son; I could go on and on.

In 1988 we adopted our 1st persian cat. From then until about six weeks ago, we have been a family of Persians & Himalayans. This past summer, we lost one of our little ones, and thought that it might be nice for our daughter to have a kitty in the house that was a bigger, stronger, and more active than our last few had been. So--our search began and we found Kate and Carolyn and their very sweet siberians. We were very, very fortunate to have adopted two of their beautiful, wonderful retired adults. The female is a bit shy. But the two of them are soulmates--and watching them play and interact with each other is like watching a ballet. With his help and encouragement, she is overcoming her shyness. Their friendship is so pure & genuine. They are bonding to my daughter. She loves them so much! Our male loves to play tricks on her. They are a wonder to watch. They have brought a whole new level of joy and fun to our family! I would adopt another one in a minute.

I have never before owned a cat, but was fascinated with them. I wanted a cat that was extremely affectionate, loving, mush-baby, dog-like, Mr. Meet and Greet. I could go on and on, but nothing could have prepared me for what I found in the Siberian! My sweetheart far exceeded anything I could have dreamed of. He is the most loving, affectionate, charming, sweet cat there could ever be! After reading up on the Breed, they were described as dog-like, affectionate, personable, social, extremely loving and loyal. My Kharlan absolutely adores being groomed and having his nails cut and filed! He "leads" me to the activity that he wants to do. We play fetch. We take turns playing Russian Roulette (it's a cat game). He loves to play "hide and seek". And the way this breed "speaks" is unbelievable! They have "chirps", "trills", and the softest voice when "talking", but the loudest "Purr" when happy and content. It is an honor to share my life with this truly wonderful breed.

We had been a cat-less home for several years after our beautiful Angora, Amos and Persian, Bhead passed. My son had married a girl who was extremely allergic to cats. Rather than have them stay away from us we chose not to have a kitty. I so missed having one around. Then one day a patient in my office was telling me about the Siberians that her daughter raised. I investigated the breed and was introduced to ForestWind. Last Christmas we were excited to bring home Anya the daughter of Feodora Vemas & Cica Sharik. She is such a joy and a real beauty. With fingers crossed my daughter-in-law visited this summer and spent the whole week with us and Anya. NO Allergic symptoms AT ALL. We were so happy and so was she to know that she might be able to have a cat in her life again. Thank you ForestWind for our beautiful girl Anya.

Getting Ivan is the best thing that has happened to me. There isn't a day that goes by where he doesn't warm my heart. He's affectionate, playful and intelligent. To top it off he's beautiful! Everyone who sees him, give me compliments. I had an ideal cat in my head when I started this process and Ivan matches it to a T. Also because of hypo-allegenic coat he can be around people who are allegric with nary sneeze from them.I love my cat, and I thank Forest wind Siberians for raising such an excellent animal.
