These are the cats that explored the world with the Vikings,
protecting the grain stores on land and sea, and which are believed to have left their
progeny on the shores of North America as a legacy to the future.
Bright emerald green eyes with a band of gold. Long flowing hair. Sweet-expressed faces,
jaunty ear and toe trimmings. Each time you see a Norwegian Forest Cat is a Feast for your
eyes. Each time you touch their spun-silk soft coats is a delight to the fingertips. |
These lovely cats are really two for the price of one, they can differ so greatly in looks
from summer to winter. Some time in the spring they take off their "winter
underwear", the downy undercoat that provides warmth, and the long non-tangling outer
guardhairs that act as protection from rain and snow. The contrast can be quite extreme.
The inner-ear hairs that deflects the wind and snow (and can be three to four inches long
curving out and around the ear like flexible racing strips) remains all year. The tail is
always magnificent, being as much as twelve inches or more fanned to its fullest. Perhaps
the most impressive part of the coat is the mane. On a fully mature cat, i.e. one over
five years of age and which is challenged by the most adverse weather, the mane is nothing
less than spectacular. It is long, dense and very, very impressive. This, unfortunately,
may appear in the spring, but rest assured that it will begin to lengthen again as the
days begin to shorten..
