Norwegian Forest Cats








 

 
 
 
About the Breed

History of the Norsk Skaukatt

The NFC, is a uniquely Scandinavian breed whose origins are shrouded in mystery, and it is referred to in Norse myths and mid 19th century fairy tales.

 

Having evolved naturally in the cold climate of Norway, it has a heavy, weather resistant coat. The glossy, medium length top coat hangs from the spine line, keeping out rain and snow, while the woolly undercoat keeps the body warm.

 

The Norwegian Forest Cat was granted full Championship status in FIFe in 1977.

The NFC has a full ruff or frill.
