bright  eyes. It is a subspecies of the Siberian cat .

truly unexpected  decoration of the usual

Siberian breed.

​

Its representatives are distinguished by strong  health

and high life expectancy. This is very  large

by feline standards, an animal weighing 6-10 kg. Cats are much smaller and more graceful than cats, and their character is softer and more flexible. And no one succeeded, having seen a real Neva masquerade cat, to restrain an exclamation of admiration! For the full development and maturation of nevaks, sometimes it takes up to 5 years, during which time the skeleton and powerful muscles are built up. They jump very well - both in height and in length.

​

These cats have a calm and even temperament. They are fearless defenders of their territory, loyal friends of their master and patient toys in the hands of children. However, strangers are wary.

​

Neva Masquerade cats have a well-developed sense of self-esteem. They are never intrusive, they are extremely attentive and understanding listeners. An agitated or upset owner can easily be soothed and consoled by a melodic purr. Many say that you can always expect complaisance from Neva cats, since genetically these cats have good manners and will not spoil things or behave aggressively.
