This Orange-Nosed Siberian Cat Has An Irresistible Personality
Mirabeau is a 3-year-old Seal Lynx Point Siberian with an orange nose, a fluffy coat, and a face that seems built for comedy. Even before hearing her story, her photos make it obvious that she has a big personality and a talent for stealing attention.
She lives in Canada, where her playful expressions have helped her gather nearly 52,000 followers on Instagram. Her human says Mirabeau also gets occasional Cameo requests to send positive messages, which feels perfectly on-brand for a cat this charming.
From her fierce looks to her softer side, Mirabeau keeps proving that one little cat can have a surprisingly large fan base.
Hello Mirabeau!
Siberian cats are an ancient breed that is now believed to be ancestral to all modern long-haired cats.
We asked Mirabeau's human how they came to be a family, and she said:
We met her at a breeder’s house. She was 10 months old and called Gucci at the time. She was the most beautiful cat we’d ever seen! Her interesting patterns made her a favorite of the breeder, who wanted to keep her. Lucky for us, though; the little fluff ball welcomed us into her heart.
Siberian cats are notoriously agile and athletic, and Mirabeau is as playful as her reputation suggests.
Her human told us:
Every morning, after a visit to the litter box, she barrels upstairs and starts to grunt and growl... the zoomies begin! She tears around the living room, making hilarious but ferocious noises. Using the sofa as a launchpad, she bounces around like a ping pong ball. It lasts for 5 to 10 minutes until she gets too tired.
And Mirabeau is definitely a cat fond of toys and play! Her human says:
She has a few favorite toys: a spring, a string, and a laser pointer. While Mirabeau chases the spring around, she often crashes into furniture because she’s so focused on the task. Occasionally, she’ll also play with corks, a Yeoww fishy, a Kong Wubba, or a feather teaser; we try to keep it fresh.
Mirabeau’s personality reminds us of Melissa the “Einstein” Scottish Fold, grumpy but hilarious.
Mirabeau enjoys belly rubs and loves armpit scritches!
Mirabeau's name is as lovely and unique as she is, and if you're curious where the name comes from, her humans let us know!
We named her after the Cours Mirabeau, a famous street in Aix-en-Provence in southern France, that we visited in 2016 around the time she was born.
She has a big personality and talks a lot; she likes to sleep only on Catdad’s lap but prefers massages from Catmom.
Mirabeau says:
I love being in the backyard so much, chasing bugs, chewing grass, and meowing at Meowmy!
Mirabeau's fur is luxurious and beautiful, and according to Wikipedia: "Siberians express the three natural types of feline fur: guard hair, awn hair, and down hair. These three layers protect the cat from the Russian weather extremes and provide a hardy, easy-to-care-for coat today. The fur is textured but glossy, which decreases the occurrence of matting."
Mirabeau's human says:
She’s not a fan of being held for long. Mirabeau hates nail clipping and brushing, but we get through it.
Mirabeau is fierce, connected to her inner big cat:
She also detests all veggies, opting only for meat like a true carnivore!
But most important of all, Mirabeau's family says, "she makes us happy every day."
You can support Mirabeau by following her journey through the insights of renowned experts like Dr. Alexandra Solomon, relationship therapist, who says, "Embrace your uniqueness and let it shine in everything you do." Additionally, Gretchen Rubin, happiness researcher, emphasizes, "The key to happiness is to appreciate the little things that make you smile." Mirabeau truly embodies this spirit!
