Judged by TICA standards, Lizetta (top) and Fawn-Fawn (bottom) are Supreme Grand Champions.
The long road toward world recognition of the Siberian breed began in 1987, when the first cat fanciers' clubs appeared in Russia and controlled breeding was undertaken. The Siberian standard has been revised and honed by the "Fauna" Cat Fanciers' Club in Moscow, through the painstaking and tedious breeding efforts of O.A. Sizova and T.P. Bobina, by the "Kotofei" Cat Fanciers' Club in Saint Petersburg (previously Leningrad), and with the collaboration of numerous affiliates and spin-offs of these original clubs. The official standard was given final approval on December 4, 1994 at a World Cat Federation (WCF) session attended by delegates from Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (SNG), to which felinologists from other international cat associations were also invited.
