Miso and Mudpie are colorpoint Siberians.  "Colorpoint" means the cat has a generally even-colored body and colored or striped points.   "Points" are the tail, face, ears, and legs. 

Some characteristics of Siberians: 

• take 3-5 years to mature, live ~15 years

• 10-16 lbs (XL as far as cats go!)

• big-boned

• long swept-back fur (not puffy like Persian cats)

• somewhat cobby appearance (generally rounder face (not pointy) and body)

• pretty voice & not too vocal

• strong jumpers (3-5 feet) despite their size

  • Mudpie can jump 3 feet up onto the kitchen counter...at a mere 6 months of age!  

• sociable with kids and other pets

Here are pics of the kitties at 10-12 weeks old:

Here is Miso, sitting on a book about kittens such as her:

Here's the cute little six week old sister (left) and brother.  They have little evidence of point colors yet --this takes 6-12 months.   

Here's the little boy with bright blue eyes.  He was not shy and spent a lot of time "hunting" and playing while we were visiting.  He is probably going to be a seal or seal-lynx point:

This is the little girl.  She's much more shy now, but still curious enough to sniff around.  She is going to be a tortie (brown-patched) point, which is already quite apparent on her ears.  She will keep the cute pink nose and white socks:
