It was a cold night, the snow lying deep after a fresh fall earlier in the day. I’d decided to go for a quick walk before bed, but never got further than the garden. I became preoccupied with a little black bundle of fur that was later to be known as Cinders. A tiny forest kitten had been trying to get into my dustbin, but without success. She’d clawed at the bag (bins were, at the time, just a black sack hanging in an open frame with a lid on the top), but her claws weren’t strong enough to rip it open. She obviously hadn’t eaten for days and was very weak. Knowing full well that you shouldn’t take feral kittens into the home, I ...  Read the complete review

Norwegian Forest Cats originate, believe it or not, from the Norwegian forests, where they evolved naturally. They are a longhaired breed, but are unlike Persians in many respects. Persians have squished-in faces, which can make it difficult for them to eat. It is a recognised fact, and foods specifically designed for Persians have been formulated. Norwegians, on the other hand, have a more prominent nose than the average cat. I would go as far a describing it as aquiline. My neighbour gave me an odd look when I described the new kitten as looking "like Meryl Streep", but she conceded that I did have a point when she finally saw her. She now ...  Read the complete review

It is to my belief, that my cat is partly Norwegian Forest Cat, and partly some other sort of cat. She has the same amount of fluffiness and lion-ness, but she has a different coat pattern. I've had her for 6 years now, I got her for my 10th birthday - she was my first pet. I loved her very much at first, but I became busy with all my school work and don't have too much time for her. This has led to her coat becoming very matted. A member of my family tried to sort out some of these clumps of fluff, but accidentally nipped her skin, leaving a little gash. This scared me a lot and I feel very guilty because it's my fault that I haven't been paying enough ...  Read the complete review

Before I start I would just like to point out that even though Ive grown up with cats all my life, Ive never bread them as I like them as pets. So please forgive me if I get any details wrong on the specifics of this breed. When I was about 7 or 8 my aunt was moving house. Now she had dozens of cat which unfortunatly she had to give away. Luckly she gave one of these cats to my family. This cat was Dennis. We didn't know much about types of cats back then so to us, Dennis was just another bundle of fur that we had aquired, bring our cat total up to three. Now i can say that Ive never had or met a more friendier cat than our Dennis. He just never stopped ...  Read the complete review

hiya, I have 2 female 10 month old Wedgies, and I have to say without my other cats hearing, they are the best cats i have ever know. That is not including my Black Maine Coone Fecker who sadly got run over on the day I went to the breeders to see the litter of NFC's. They had 5 kittens when I got the sad call from my neighbour about Fecker and even though I was devasted, my husband said I could have both the 2 remaining girls who wernt sold yet!! I still had to wait 9 weeks till they came home but I was so lost without Fecker my husband, on a mad whim brought home this little moggy kitten 8 weeks old. Our other cat a 5 year old white female moggy was a bit ...  Read the complete review
