Siberian Forest Cats play a huge role within Russian art as mythical magical beings that spring out of old folk stories and fairy tales.
Siberian Forest Cats are a fairly new introduction in the United States, having come into the country after the fall of the Soviet Union in the 1990s. However, they have been shown in cat shows in England right back to the 1700s.
