As a kid, we had a Norwegian mix. This was 1979. No one knew what breed he was at the time, but now we know! The best cat for a kid. He was a great hunter (like his mom), great climber, very lovable and over 30lbs. Miss him still.

I rescued a poor kitty that was abandoned in an apartment complex. Stressed, partially bald, & ribs sticking out. I did not want this cat, but I couldn't leave it. It took no time at all to fall in love with his unique personality. I marvel at some of his unusual tendencies, like the fact that he loves water & plays in it, loves to sit on the edge of the tub when I take a bath, loves to be held & rocked as he literally snuggles his head under my chin for cuddles, & chases his tail! Within 8 months, he was 19.7 lbs, & I knew he was something special, but could tell he was not Main Coon. What do you know? I have a Norwegian Forest cat! He appears to be 100%, although I have no papers obviously....& it doesn't matter to me, he's one of a kind, a complete gem! I want another one!!! Thanks for the video! 😺

I had a white one with blue eyes. Prettiest cat I ever saw. He would refuse to sleep in the house in winter time. He liked to curl up on a patio chair on the deck with his tail covering his nose and mouth. Did not seem to matter how cold it was outside. In the summer he liked to be inside during the heat of the day. He was a great cat.

I had one when I was a kid. He was a very independent animal that came and went as it pleased him. He was very territorial and defended his territory against other cats. His face and ears had many scars from numerous fights with other cats in the neighborhood. There was zero maintenance issues with him since he took care of that himself. Still he loved to cuddle but only as long as it pleased him. In the summer we often got guests and during that period he could be gone for days. I still miss that grey cat. He had that classic grey fur with some white spots. The cats around now are mostly black and white. By the way our neighbor had a all white cat that might have been the offspring of mine.😊😊😊

My lovely boy is an 8 month old rescue cat. He loves other cats but is very wary of people. I've finally been able to pat him after 3 months but no-one else can. He's very vocal with an amazing variety of trills and chirrups but doesn't miaow. He is very active and loves his toys and climbing cat tree. He's got very large paws, a massive tail, long tufts on his ears and is over 2ft long but is still a bit underweight. I feed him 3 small meals a day as he can't eat much in one sitting. He's very different to any other cat I've ever had and I love his unique quirks like playing with water and eating with his paws. I've just bought him a water fountain that fascinates him. He's a wonderful addition to the family..

We had a mice problem in our old house. I set out traps every day and got nothing. My Wegie, Maxwell, killed 13 of them! He basically ended our mice problem single handedly. The funny part is that after every kill he would bring the dead mouse to me with its little mouse tail sticking out of Max's mouth. I would take it from him and dispose of it in the trash.

Since they are mentioned in Nordic Mythology it's not likely that the Vikings brought them home from the British Isle, they probably been around for longer then that. 10.000 years ago there were dry land between Britain and Mainland Europa. The resemblence between Main Coons and Forest cats are most likely to be that the MC is a breed between Forest Cats and some native Americans cats, perhaps the Bobcat, wich would explain theire pointy ears and size!

She's a very good mouser and misses the garage at my former home. She's quite the talker ! A couple years ago she managed to injure her back leg She was in a lot of pain The vet gave us meds and ordered no more jumping So we got a small scratch post She does enjoy our balcony and watching birds and children get on the bus . We do try to ration her food and she needs lots of grooming. She has all characteristics of a wedgie Shape of face furry ears and toes ! She's the sweetest smartest cat I've had She loves spending time with me as long as I'm not vacuuming Her ears are sensitive to loud noise She also loves soft smooshy throws and blankets . Her eyes are a beautiful green color . She still likes to play with new toys but mice are her favorite!

They are cutest and may be akin to Siberians. We might wonder if the Wegie is the ancestor of the Siberian, or vice versa. Cats FIRST made it to Scandinavia probably from Irish traders who got them from the Phoenicians--- so way early. It would have taken that long for a natural breed to emerge. The complementary genetics probably first emerged in Persia: quick route to Siberia. This being that double coat that certain of long-haired cats possess. The grey undercoat a death trap for ticks. Bearing in mind that all domesticated cats trace their lineage to the levantine subspecies of Felis sylvestnis, it is likely that the genes that provide for the winterizing double coat are very ancient, and lay dormant in the desert wildcats, merging as their generations travelled north with human companions. A very ancient genetic trait, from before cats and dogs split off. The double coat of northern dogs is of a kind with that of northern cats.

One the parents got is the Greenhouse rodent getter and eater usually but she also eats dry cat food and larger insects like Grasshoppers. My brothers cat he will keep cats that do not belong in the place out, usually very wild cats. They are not Norwegian Forest cats but look & act like Norwegian Forest cats, just due to the environment in South Dakota and how some cats developed to survive in same rough winters, another reason why lots of wild/semi wild farm cats look like Russian Blue as well as some indoor outdoor domestic cats look like both breeds too in South Dakota just due to needing those traits to survive.

This breed is in fact more common in Sweden. The first cats in Scandinavia are known as early as 100 AD, and most likely originated from the Black Sea/ Caspian Sea area (i know there is a breed over there with the same long hind legs, but can`t remember the breeds name) and also the Roman empire

Are they related to Maine Coons?
@Cat_Nation Жыл бұрын
Hi Nathanael, because they look very similar, some experts think that Maine Coons are actually the descendants of the Norwegian Forest Cats (because the Norwegian breed is much older than the Maine Coon breed). However, I am unable to find a source that confirms this.

When I found out this bread existed, u wanted one but my wife said no we have two cats already. So out of respect for her I dropped it and didn't think anything about it, that is until we had to pay for our dogs new licenses. As we arrived at the animal shelter I saw a big line and I asked her if she wanted to play with the dogs that were up for adoption she agreed and told me we could not have any more. As I walked by the cat section I told my wife look that's odd there's no cats. We walked in and looked around. There was only one and he's was back in a corner cage. I was mindlessly playing with him and my wife said hun that's odd he's a norwegian forest cat. I froze. And she knew I wanted to take him home. At 12 years old his chances weren't good at being adopted. But after 3 days of me going back to visit him, she agreed to let me adopt him. Now he's safe with his forever home.

"...in Europe where the climate is exceptionally cold..." Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Greece at least would like to know your location. Seriously though, I think that sentance should have been "in cold climates in Europe."
