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.
