| Body: |
Medium sized to large cat, well-muscled and heavily built. Neck short and substantial, legs also muscular and of medium length; feet big, compact, round and well tufted. Tail as long as to reach the shoulder blade , slightly tapering, furnished bushy. |
Velká, robustní, kompaktní kočka s něžným výrazem. Ocas dosahuje k lopatce z boku, někdo říká, že středně dlouhý ocas je od posledního žebra po po lopatku. Kočka pod 3,5 kilo váhy se nedá nazvat středně velkou., stejně tak pětikilový kocour. |
| Head: |
Head short and broad with low set wide cheek bones, rounded muzzle and chin, forehead slightly curved, gently rounded contours and slightly curved profile. Nose of even width from bridge to nose leather. |
Hlava je tupý klín, nos je 1/3 délky hlavy, temeno je ploché, čelo jakoby ujíždí. Pro původní sibiřsky byl typický hrbolek na konci nosní chrupavky. Jakýsi „tygří hrbolek“. U velmi krátkých nosů s takovýmto hrbolkem se stává že není dost prostoru na přechod mezi nosem a čelem, profil získává nežádoucí klabonos. Rovný nos s plochým čelem je stejně nežádoucí. Vysokými lícními kostmi kočka získává nežádoucí exotický výraz. Příliš výrazné tváře (naducané) , příliš výrazná brada pinč , příliš ustupující brada, příliš úzká (špičatá) tlamička jsou rovněž nežádoucí. Nos se od kořene ke špičce nezužuje. „Spravit „ nekorektní profil je velmi těžké. |
| Ears: |
Medium-large, wide at base with slightly rounded tips. Set wide apart and tilted slightly forward. |
Ucho není malé, je dobře osrstěné z obou stran, štětičky jsou nepodstatné. Šířka mozkovny mezi ušima by měla být minimálně v šíři základny ucha. Často je zaměňována úzká mozkovna s vysoko nasazeným uchem. Vnější koutek oka a ucha korespondují. Naše linie mají potíže s šířkou mozkovny více než s nasazením ucha. |
| Eyes: |
Large, slightly oval shaped with rounded lower line, set slightly oblique and wide apart. Eye colour to be uniform and harmonizing with coat colour. Any shade from yellow/gold to green is accepted. In whites and vans the eye colour may also be blue or odd-eyed. In pointed cats the eye colour is blue on principle, the deeper the blue the better. |
Oko ani kulaté ani šikmé. Je-li kočka v klidu, oko je v horní lince téměř rovné, spodní linka se ve vnějším koutku lehce zvedá k uchu. Oko má něžný výraz. Mezera mezi očima by měla být min. ve velikosti oka |
| Coat: |
Coat is of medium length; very dense undercoat, soft and fine, covered by a coarser, more substantial top coat. The dense smoothly flowing top coat is waterproof and glossy, of coarse, crisp texture, completely covering the back, flanks and the upper side of the tail. Undersides of body and back side of hind legs have only undercoat. Particularly long hair on neck, chest, breeches and tail. |
Ředěné barvy a barvy plné mají sklon k jemnější krycí srsti.Některé linie mají tendenci ke kratší až krátké srsti. I velký podíl bílé mívá negativní vliv na kvalitu krycí srsti . Dlouhá krycí srst na ocase (vlajka) je rovněž nežádoucí. „Spravit „ kvalitu srsti není zase až tak veliký problém. |
| Colour Varieties: |
The pointed variety is named Neva Masquerade. Chocolate and cinnamon and the according diluted colours (lilac and fawn) are not accepted in any pattern combinations (solid, bi-colour, tri-colour, tabby), either in the Neva Masquerade or in the Siberian. Burmese pattern is also not accepted. Any other colour is accepted, the descriptions of colours are listed in the General Colour Guide. Any amount of white is allowed. |

The general impression of the body is one of circles and roundness. Siberians are slow to mature, taking as long as 5 years to reach full maturity. Females are considerably smaller than males, and allowances should be made when comparing females and young cats to the standard. Size is secondary to type. |
