Siberian "Titty Tat"

Husband has promised Lallie a cat for her birthday.  This is wonderful as Lallie absolutely ADORES cats and is always pretending to be one, playing with one or chasing one.  Whenever a cat is in the vicinity, there is nothing else that can distract her.

BUT, Husband and I have huge allergies to cats, as does Lallie (we think - not 100% sure yet).  So, Husband has done a bit of research and discoverd that Siberian cats are hypo-allerginic.  While there is not hard scientific evidence of this claim, most owners with pure-bred Siberians have documented their hypo-allergenic qualities for nearly 10 years.  This is wonderful news for us.

So, our quest for a "titty tat" has begun.  I love the fact that these cats can get quite large (nearly 20 lbs.)  I want to start off with a kitten, because I want a kitten and because I think U.K., our golden retriever, will be more gentle with a kitten starting out then a full grown cat (as evidenced by visits with UK to my parents, it's genearlly a rat race through the house!)

  4. really? I am a true cat person, but my hubs is allergic to them, so we don't have one. I will have to look into this breed too.
