The domestic cats mated with the European and Asian wild cats (Felis Silvestris) that were already there. Only a few of those cats were strong enough to adapt to the harsh Siberian climate. Russian immigrants carried them as they journeyed to cold Moscow and St. Petersburg leaving the cold inhospitable climate of the North. The breed continued to survive the harsh winters and climate and developed a thick fur and waterproof, oily coat. During this time no one bothered to develop the Siberian into a pedigreed cat.
