Siberian Cat VS. Norwegian Forest Cat

What are the differences between these two cat breeds?

The Siberian Cat typically weighs 8 to 17 pounds, and sometimes more. The Norwegian forest male cats can weigh 13 to 22 pounds or more, with females somewhat smaller. They mature slowly and aren’t full-grown until 5 years of age.

These medium-sized Siberian cats were certainly built for their environment in the forests of icy Siberia. Siberian cats have long, triple-layered, water-resistant coats and sturdy, muscular bodies that seem heavy compared to their size. Their thick coat of long hair comes in any color including solid white, black, red, blue, and silver.
