 history/ profile of Norwegian forest cat The Norwegian forest cat is one of the oldest breeds. There are authoritative opinions that the ancestors of modern Norwegian forest cats were mentioned in the Viking sagas, although, of course, it is difficult to say with precision now. In ancient legends, there is a mention of "fabulous cats" (the chariot of the goddess Freya was drawn by six cats). In addition, it is known that cats lived with the Vikings, and they greatly appreciated them for catching rodents, affection, and ingenuity. Another authoritative opinion states that in Norway these cats appeared as a result of trade, and were imported by merchant ships from Turkey. Accordingly, in this case, the nearest ancestor of the Norwegian forest - angora. Another option of origin - Siberian cats. In any case, this breed belongs to the ancients, was not bred artificially, and developed in the natural environment, in the forests and mountains of Scandinavia. The harsh climate allowed these pets to evolve, to get a very reliable, warm, long coat with a dense undercoat, which makes them almost invulnerable even in severe weather, rain, and wind. After 1930, the European group of breeders decided to create a full-fledged breed with characteristic features, which could reproduce according to certain rules to preserve those very features. The name of the breed came by itself, so to speak, due to historical patterns. In their homeland, this cat is called "Norsk Skaukatt" - several such skakuatts took part in the cat exhibition in Oslo, in 1938, just before the outbreak of World War II. They were represented by Norway's oldest cat club. The breed "Norwegian forest cat" was received very well, and deserved positive feedback from the judges. However, with the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the breeding program almost completely ceased, and the huge population became extinct. It took almost 40 years for the Scouts to re-interest the breeders. The largest European registry of thoroughbred cats, the Federation Internationale Feline (FIFe) officially recognized the Skaucattes in 1977, at the same time the breed was awarded full championship status. Ten years later, namely in 1987, the American Cat Lovers Association also recognized this breed, although, the status of the championship Norwegian forest cat in America received only 6 years later, in 1993. That is, despite the fact that the breed is one of the oldest, at the American cat show it performs relatively recently. Norwegian forest cat is now actively bred in other countries of the world.

The name of the breed came by itself, so to speak, due to historical patterns. In their homeland, this cat is called "Norsk Skaukatt" - several such skakuatts took part in the cat exhibition in Oslo, in 1938, just before the outbreak of World War II. They were represented by Norway's oldest cat club. The breed "Norwegian forest cat" was received very well, and deserved positive feedback from the judges. However, with the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the breeding program almost completely ceased, and the huge population became extinct. It took almost 40 years for the Scouts to re-interest the breeders. The largest European registry of thoroughbred cats, the Federation Internationale Feline (FIFe) officially recognized the Skaucattes in 1977, at the same time the breed was awarded full championship status. Ten years later, namely in 1987, the American Cat Lovers Association also recognized this breed, although, the status of the championship Norwegian forest cat in America received only 6 years later, in 1993. That is, despite the fact that the breed is one of the oldest, at the American cat show it performs relatively recently. Norwegian forest cat is now actively bred in other countries of the world.

The Norwegian cat will feel extremely uncomfortable if its tray will be dirty - it should be kept clean. Beautiful pictures of Norwegian forest cat

history/ profile of Norwegian forest cat The Norwegian forest cat is one of the oldest breeds. There are authoritative opinions that the ancestors of modern Norwegian forest cats were mentioned in the Viking sagas, although, of course, it is difficult to say with precision now. In ancient legends, there is a mention of "fabulous cats" (the chariot of the goddess Freya was drawn by six cats). In addition, it is known that cats lived with the Vikings, and they greatly appreciated them for catching rodents, affection, and ingenuity. Another authoritative opinion states that in Norway these cats appeared as a result of trade, and were imported by merchant ships from Turkey. Accordingly, in this case, the nearest ancestor of the Norwegian forest - angora. Another option of origin - Siberian cats. In any case, this breed belongs to the ancients, was not bred artificially, and developed in the natural environment, in the forests and mountains of Scandinavia. The harsh climate allowed these pets to evolve, to get a very reliable, warm, long coat with a dense undercoat, which makes them almost invulnerable even in severe weather, rain, and wind. After 1930, the European group of breeders decided to create a full-fledged breed with characteristic features, which could reproduce according to certain rules to preserve those very features. The name of the breed came by itself, so to speak, due to historical patterns. In their homeland, this cat is called "Norsk Skaukatt" - several such skakuatts took part in the cat exhibition in Oslo, in 1938, just before the outbreak of World War II.
