Welcome to the home of the beautiful Norwegian Forest Cat, also known as the Norsk Skogkatt, and by the nickname, Wegie (Wee-gee).

We bought our first NFC, Borealis Sir Jerry, from Borealis Cats in May, 2007. Only after two weeks of owning him we knew that this was the type of cat we wanted to breed. We fell in love with their attitute, which mind you is completly different to your everyday cat. They also have a beautiful long silky coat. Unlike other long-coated cats, the NFC's coat is very easy maintence, only requiring grooming once or twice a week through most of the year. This is because their coat is not fine. "There is a dense undercoat, fibrous yet soft to the touch, like a young lamb. The long guard hairs, which come in as the cat matures, complete the texture designed for protection from the weather's elements. The adult cat's coat has a slightly oily texture, which makes it water-repellent. Barring accidents, the coat is taken care of by the cat. NFCs should not be washed or their fur would felt. A few colours and lines may also matt a little."

These gentle giants are playful and forbearing with children, visitors, other pet cats, and even dogs, right up to old age. Thats right, these guys will always be up for a game, and when excited, they will also pant while that play.

NFC's do not like to be left alone for too long either, so they will always need something to do, maybe a second NFC as company if you are a busy person. They can be trained to walk on a harness and to fetch and retrieve, and they will do anything for your attention.

"Adorable, eye-catching, perhaps the most intelligent and alert breed of cat in existence. A Norwegian wants to be involved in everything you do. They really appear to understand what you are feeling. They can be almost human, talking to you and greeting you with soft 'chirrups', purrs and leg-rubs when you come home, and yet, if you need to be left alone, they will often snuggle up close to you, just content to be in your company."
