Norwegian Forest Cats

These beauties are a domestic cat native to Northern Europe. Norwegian Forest Cats are an intelligent, robust and playful breed. They like the outdoors and are well suited to colder climates.

Norwegian Forest Cats have a tick, fluffy, double-layered coat, tuffed ears and a long bushy tail to protect them from the cold. Their coats are double layered, with a coarse outer layer and a dense under layer, which makes their coat essentially waterproof. They are known for their intelligence, playfulness and patience, making them a good pet for families with children. They enjoy high vantage points where you will often see them on top of appliances, bookshelves or any where else they can get up high.

The Norwegian Forest Cats are bigger boned than most domestic cats with the male weighing an average of 13 to 22 lbs. The female will be about 1/2 the males size.

If you have children the Norwegian Forest Cat might be a nice addition to your family!
