Welcome to our site. We
are proud to be breeders of Norwegian Forest Cats, a wonderfully
natural breed of cat, which was introduced to the UK in the late
1980's.
Almond shaped eyes in colours that range from emerald
through to gold or even blue. Long flowing coats. Triangular heads with
faces that have that distinctive “look”. Impressive
ear furnishings and snowshoes. Each time you see a Norwegian Forest Cat
it is a feast for the eyes. Each time you touch their glorious coats it
is a delight to the fingertips.
These are the cats that explored the world with the Vikings, protecting the grain stores on land and at sea. They are believed to have left their progeny on the shores of North America as a legacy to the future.

During the Spring, they take
off their winter underwear (the thick woolly undercoat that provides
warmth), leaving the long non-tangling guard hairs that act as a water
proof protection against wind and rain.Their ear furnishings that
deflect the wind can grow to 3 inches long, and remain all year. Their
tail is always magnificent and plume-like; this is used to
“talk” with their human and cat friends. Perhaps
most impressive is their ruff. On a mature cat, i.e. one of over 4 or 5
years of age and used to spending time outside in cold weather, the
ruff is nothing less than spectacular being long, dense and full. This
will shorten in the Spring and Summer, but will reappear once the days
begin to shorten and the temperature begins to drop.
Norwegian Forest Cats were designed by Mother Nature. They come in all
colours with the exception of Colour Point (such as those colours
exhibited by the Siamese), Lilac, Cinnamon, Chocolate and Fawn. Their
eye colour compliments their coat colour. Darker cats require less coat
to keep warm since they absorb more heat from the sun. Lighter cats
tend to have bigger coats with more woolly undercoat. Because they are
a natural breed, their coats do not require the amount of attention
that some other breeds do- Mother Nature does not have brushes and
combs after all! Their mature size varies from line to line, but they
are a large elegant, intelligent cat that loves human company. They fit
in well with family life and like to get involved in all that their
humans do.  Norskwood Harvey
