Siberian Farm Cats Have Absolutely Taken Over This Farmer’s Land, And They’re Absolutely Majestic
Just when you think you're the craziest cat lady around, someone else goes ahead and one-ups you to the fullest. Russian farmer Alla Lebedeva has turned her homestead into a cat shelter known as 'Catland,' and has gone viral with the incredible photographs and videos she takes of her many glorious Siberian cats.
Stationed in Prigorodny, just outside Barnaul, Siberia, Lebedeva and her husband Sergey have been raising these beautiful cats for over a decade. "How many do we have now? To such a question I usually answer 'a million, maybe more,'" Lebedeva tells DesignYouTrust. "They live in the henhouse... They have three ‘little bedrooms’ there where can they sleep according to how they feel. Our Siberian kittens protect the chickens and rabbits from rats and mice."
Alla's photo and video diary of her fluffy cats' daily adventures now have a following of over 2 thousand on YouTube, yet they continued to be circulated around the Internet without permission and passed off as 'Norwegians.' Though this fluffy cat breed is closely related to the famous Norwegian Forest Cat, please remember that they are separate species - and always remember to credit anything you share if possible. It's good for your health.
Scroll down and be transported to Koshlandia and its adorable cats, and let us know if you'd like to visit this 'feline hostel' sometime.

They should turn these photos into a calendar. I'm sure it would sell well.

I love the cold. But I love a soft blanket in front of a toasty fire more.

You can see the Norwegian Forest Cat in this one's face... he really resembles my Norwegian. Beautiful!

Cat on the left: "You smell funny, Grigor Nikoláievich". Cat on the right: "WHA...? Sorry, Alyosha Mikáilovich, I thought you were a mirror".

Are Siberian Cats larger like the Main C**n or larger? They do look big.

The comment by Kent Obediah Hayton has a large (supposed) spoiler for The Last Jedi, just FYI. So don't click on it if you don't want to know.

I have such pity for people like Kent. I mean, how lonely and pathetic must one be to seek attention in such a manner?

It's a separate BREED not species - a species can't interbreed to produce fertile offspring. If you're going to make a point of correcting people - get it right!

WOW most of them´re Sibirian Forest Cats, my Gizzy´s a Norwegian Forest Cat mix, but not as super-fluffy because he´s a pure indoor cat, if he went outside he´d probably be as fluffy in winter!!! Here he is with his patchwork brofur Thori (a shorthaired Maine C**n mix): 10308434_1...727907.jpg

Incredibly beautiful as they are, all those cats (even the kitties) sure as hell take no s**t from ANYONE. My kind of cat actually.

Our Precious is half Siberian Forest Cat from her daddy 20171205_0...d54411.jpg 
Mary Rewis 7 years ago
Thx for your likes. She'll be 5 yrs old in February and weighs 16#. Biggest female which I shared my home. Her coat has 4 layers beginning with a soft grayish undercoat. Next is much darker grey/black. Then her calico coat and finally a white fiber optic looking halo surrounding her. She loves to play in water in the sink and will dunk her entire head under the faucet on trickle. Water just beads up and runs off her. She's never been outside except by carrier. 20150209_0...679248.jpg

This is weird. My 20 year old daughter is Russian (adopted at age 8). She is gorgeous and depending on her mood she LOOKS like some of these beautiful Russian cats! we must go back and visit Russia one day!

I own a Russian Siberian. He is almost 3. These cats are everything and more. Truly a majestic and whimsical breed of cats!!

The perfect fluffy for me. Have been reading about them lately, and would love to have one.

I wanna move to Siberia and live on your farm. Only I can't handle cold weather. Maybe I can live in a greenhouse? That way I can still enjoy your magnificent cats.
CbusResident 7 years ago
Can I just have them all? Can they all just curl up in my bed with me, and the wonderful cat I already have, on every cold winter night please? Especially those little kitten ones! What could go wrong with that? I'll just have 50 cats living in my room!

I am awaiting the birth of my Siberian kitten in Denver, CO. I can not wait to get my kitty!! Over the years, I have saved 8 wonderful cats and 2 dogs. I now have young grandchildren that want to snuggle, hold, and love a kitty. Siberian cats are known to be very affectionate, do not shed much, a bit more hypo allergenic than other breeds, enjoy dogs, and kid friendly!!

great ! but they don't look like easy, even for a photo...well , they are cats , a bit bit wilder and tough

Are these feral cats? Responsible for taking care of themselves without humans helping to feed them? What can they possibly eat in all that snow? Frozen mice-creams?

Beautiful, but I do hope they are responsible guardians...spay, neuter, rescue, even if only just MOST of them. I can see wanting more of these beauties, but please just be good stewards! (so, OK, where can I get one?)

Do the owners brush them regularly? If not, how come they are not suffering severely from matted fur?

Are you sure that they're separate species, i.e. that they can't interbreed? Seems a stretch.

Gorgeous Cats! I haven't logged in to Bored Panda for about 6 months or so, but What is up with all of the ads littering these posts?? It has absolutely Ruined their website.

Why would anyone want to wear a dead furpiece? Not only do these gorgeous creatures make any dead mink collar look moth-eaten, if you drape one of these amazing floofs around your neck, the purrs and kitty kisses would keep you in a state of euphoria.

Kelly Finlay 7 years ago
Lovely cats. I would like to point out that the Norwegian Forest cat and the Siberian cat are not separate species, they are both the same species of animal, they are separate breeds of cat.
Dennis Ray Wingo 7 years ago
These are Siberian FOREST Cats, who are kin to the Norwegian version.

I'd absolutely prefer a garden teeming with rodents, birds, lizards than tons of cats. Recent studies have estimated up to 3,7 billion birds killed by house cats every year alone in the USA!
