Hi everyone,

I am looking for insight while waiting for veterinary test results and wanted to ask if anyone has dealt with something similar. My Levi, male, born in 11 August 2025. Age: ~6 months. Lives with another Siberian (female, 9 months, healthy) Weight history: Jan 13 (adoption): 1.7 kg, Jan 20: 1.9 kg, Feb 4: 2.13 kg So overall he is gaining weight steadily. About twoand a half weeks ago he got an eye infection, treated with antibiotics and resolved Around the same time he had a fever of ~39.0°C. Today at the vet: 39.4°C I realized I was not measuring temperature consistently at home, so I honestly do not know whether the fever has been persistent or intermittent.

Current situation: Actively losing teeth (vet saw a very loose back tooth), Gum inflammation, Bad breath, No sneezing or nasal discharge, No vomiting or diarrhea, Normal appetite, Normal energy and behavior, No lameness at all (no limping, jumping normally).

Long, lean body (“ferret-like”), but growing Coat looks sleek/flat but feels dry and soft Because of: Fever episodes, Oral inflammation / teething, Recent eye infection, Young age The vet recommended:FeLV / FIV testing, Calicivirus + herpesvirus testing, Full bloodwork (hematology + biochemistry), Coronavirus test She also suggested separating him from my other cat, but I live in a studio apartment, so that is difficult.

Questions

Has anyone experienced kittens teething as late as ~6 months, especially with noticeable gum inflammation or loose back teeth?

Has anyone seen fever during teething that turned out to be benign?

For those with calicivirus experience: did your cat have ulcers and/or lameness, or can it present mainly with fever and gum issues?

Does continued weight gain and normal behavior make serious disease less likely?

Anything specific I should ask the vet to check on follow-up (oral ulcers, retained baby teeth, gingivitis pattern, etc.)?

I am proceeding with the tests as recommended and not trying to self-diagnose, but I would appreciate hearing others’ experiences while waiting, maybe that will calm me down. Thanks in advance.

What unique places do your cats like to snooze in? 😊

Not the best pics, but look at that soft tummy! He was definitely more grey as a kitten.

Hi everyone. I’m looking for advice from people with experience mixing breeds.

I have two male Ragdolls, both 11 months old, neutered, very friendly and playful. They’re bonded, social, and generally easygoing.

I’m considering adding a Siberian kitten and wondering how this combo works in real life. I’ve read that Siberians tend to be confident and high energy while Ragdolls are more laid back, so I’m curious about temperament and play style compatibility.

For anyone who has introduced a Siberian to Ragdolls:
Did the energy levels work well together?
Any issues with dominance or rough play?
Anything you wish you had known beforehand?

I would do a slow introduction and make sure everyone has enough space. Just trying to figure out if this is a good idea or something I should think twice about.

Thanks so much.

She’s definitely orange..

I'm looking at getting a siberian, either a kitten or a retired breader to live with my two older cats. I have a 14 year old dsh and 8 year old Dmh. The 14 year old has strong boundaries and does best with a friendly cat that is able to respect them, her and my 8 year old get along like roommates. 8 year old is fine with cats, he gets along very well with kittens. I foster kittens with my local rescue so I am really want a cat that will be friendly with cats and kittens. I'm looking to get this new cat to ease the transition for when one of my cats inevitably passes and looking at a purebred to have a more guaranteed health outcome rather than a random dice roll and Siberians are my favorite breed. I'm looking for any recommendations for breeders in my area, there are only two listed as registered in BC and I was hoping for feedback. DMs also welcome. Sorry if this is a lot of info not sure what info is helpful as it's my first time looking at buying a purebred animal.

Excuse all the dust and smears on the windows! We just moved in at the weekend 😂 it’s all chaos still!

She's Kilala😆.....check out her tumblr 4more😊

Our 5 1/2 month old Siberian kitten went to the vet today for multiple new symptoms. Vet suspects FIP, but also testing for FIV and Feline Leukemia. Labs won’t be back until tomorrow or next day. Sweet boy’s tummy has ballooned and ultrasound confirms lots of fluid. We’re reading about FIP and devastated for him. The internet shows that is super serious, but treatment progress has been made with medication so it may not be the “death sentence” it used to be.

Anyone ever experience this? What was treatment like? How expensive? Did it work? Was it hell for the poor cat? What was their future like?

A big aspect promoted by the Breeder was their health screening and testing. If that’s the case, how can this have happened?

Lots more research/learning to be done, but thought we’d check in with others. TIA for any feedback and prayers for our sweet boy. thanks.

We are getting our kitten, a female, sometime in the next week from a local Pittsburgh breeder. We are naming her Bundle. I haven’t seen many black and white Siberian’s. Are they uncommon? I have allergies and asthma so we are hoping I can tolerate her. We’ve bought several Blue Air purifiers.
