Just when you think you're the craziest cat lady around, someone else goes ahead and one-ups you to the fullest. Russian farmer Alla Lebedeva has turned her homestead into a cat shelter known as 'Catland,' and has gone viral with the incredible photographs and videos she takes of her many glorious Siberian cats.

Stationed in Prigorodny, just outside Barnaul, Siberia, Lebedeva and her husband Sergey have been raising these beautiful cats for over a decade. "How many do we have now? To such a question I usually answer 'a million, maybe more,'" Lebedeva tells DesignYouTrust. "They live in the henhouse... They have three ‘little bedrooms’ there where can they sleep according to how they feel. Our Siberian kittens protect the chickens and rabbits from rats and mice."

Alla's photo and video diary of her fluffy cats' daily adventures now have a following of over 2 thousand on YouTube, yet they continued to be circulated around the Internet without permission and passed off as 'Norwegians.' Though this fluffy cat breed is closely related to the famous Norwegian Forest Cat, please remember that they are separate species - and always remember to credit anything you share if possible. It's good for your health.

Scroll down and be transported to Koshlandia and its adorable cats, and let us know if you'd like to visit this 'feline hostel' sometime.

    When I researched this breed several years ago, this photo comes up. It's gorgeous and for those of you who think you can't have cats because of allergies, think again. Many people with cat allergies can tolerate Siberians.

    I love the cold. But I love a soft blanket in front of a toasty fire more.

    You can see the Norwegian Forest Cat in this one's face... he really resembles my Norwegian. Beautiful!

    This is the living definition of implacability and gravitas. The look in those eyes is the wildness of ancient forests.

    I'm trying to be tolerant here and be understanding. Your failing fast.

    I hope this posting does not inspire people to adopt one of these when they do not have the right environment for them
