It has been debated over whether this ancient breed, which can be traced back over more than a thousand years, is the forerunner of all long-haired cat breeds, including Persians and Angoras. This is a rough-and-readybreed, genetically traceable to modern-day tabby cats that live around St Petersburg, and has an extremely thick coat to help it survive the extremely thick coat top help it survive the extremes of a Siberian climate. Relatively scarce outside its Russian homeland, this breed is distinctively tabby, with its colouring bias perhaps due to wild or feral matings.

This information is very inaccurate. There is more accurate information in Wikipedia alone, not to mention better typing. The writer has confused the Norwegian Forest Cat and the Siberian Cat. They are 2 different breeds, and not all Siberians are tabby.
