Norwegian Forest cats and Siberian cats share some similarities, such as their affectionate nature and thick coats suited for cold climates. However, they differ in their vocalization tendencies and whether they are considered lap cats. Norwegian Forest cats are generally quieter and less likely to be lap cats, while Siberians are moderately vocal and social but not necessarily lap cats. The prices for these breeds can vary significantly based on lineage and other factors. Both breeds are recognized by major cat associations and have established breed standards that reflect their origins and historical roles.
