Which cat or kitten to choose when you live in Monaco?

A remarkable coat or a rare eye colour can catch the eye. But choosing a cat also means thinking about everyday life: its environment, its care, the time you can give it and the upkeep of its coat.

For someone who is just beginning to take an interest in pedigree cats, this diversity can be a first way in. It makes you notice a cat, then become curious about what lies behind its appearance: its history, its temperament and its needs.

To learn more about the breed, see our page Siberian Cat Breeder in Europe. The rare eye colours are presented on the page Blue-Eyed and Odd-Eyed Siberian Cats.

Traditional Siberian cats, bloodlines with blue and odd eyes

Chatterie de Nice is located in France, about twenty kilometres from Monaco. Since 2016 we have bred traditional Siberian cats registered with LOOF; since 2018, blue and odd eyes have appeared naturally in our bloodlines.

Every kitten receives daily contact and individual attention. Nearly 120 families, in France and abroad, have already welcomed a kitten from our cattery.

Which cat breed for an apartment in Monaco?

Like all cats, the Siberian lives very well in an apartment. Like any living being, it needs attention, love and care.

The Siberian has an abundant coat that needs regular attention. Its temperament, like that of any cat, is individual. The colour of its eyes or coat does not predict its character.

Our cats living in Monaco

Families in the Principality have already welcomed our cats

Several cats from our cattery have gone to Monaco. Among them are Amadeus, a red Siberian with blue eyes, and Omélia, a blue-cream tortie Siberian female. Other cats also have their own story with the Principality.

Their stories show that a single breed can bring together very different coats and expressions. Yet every cat keeps its own presence: its appearance never tells the whole story.

These stories create a real link between Chatterie de Nice and Monaco. Our cattery is in France, close to the Principality.

Traditional Siberian or Neva Masquerade?

Two appearances not to be confused

The Neva Masquerade is recognised by its colourpoint pattern and its eyes, which are always blue. At Chatterie de Nice we breed traditional Siberian cats: in them, all eye colours are accepted, including blue and odd eyes.

One breed, many distinctive looks

The Siberian cat cannot be reduced to one colour or one gaze. Its coats can be warm or silvery, light or dark, with different patterns. Its eyes are just as varied: green, golden, copper, sometimes blue or odd.

The coats are presented in our guide to Siberian cat colours.
