Premier Nordlys Dewi and Premier Nordlys Dominic were litter brothers born in November 2003. Technically, they are Ellwood's Half-Uncles and full Brothers (although not from the same litter) to Willow plus Half-Brothers to Izzy (confusing, I know). We went to get another boy to have as a pet and show neuter and came away after reserving them both- well, you can't just have one Norwegian Forest Cat!
Sadly, Dom died in October 2007 after suffering a diaphragmatic hernia caused by some unknown trauma. He was almost four years old and in the prime of his life. His brother Dewi misses him as does his younger sister Willow and the house isn’t the same without Dom running about everywhere at high speed chirruping loudly. He was a stunning Brown Mackerel Tabby who did very well at shows until we retired him and who loved to “help” us make the bed.
Dewi is a very handsome large Brown Mackerel Tabby with White who loves a lot of fuss. He is also very vocal and loves to give me a helping paw in the garden. He often follows me around the house crying for me to pick him up - this is becoming more difficult because he weighs about 18 pounds now! He gets on well with all the other cats (often snuggling up on the sofa with Tasha), but is best friends with Ellwood and loves his sister Willow
Dewi and Dom loved to play with the laser pointer. Now Dom is no longer here, Dewi still plays and is now joined by Izzy, Anya, Greebo and Hugo. It still amazes us how high you can get a Forest cat to jump up a wall after a tiny red dot!
