Character

The Norwegian Forest Cat is one of the most original breeds we know. In their homeland, cats of this breed still live wild in the forests. This breed has only been bred since the 1970s. In the early days of breeding, new typical cats were repeatedly added to the planned breeding program. The originality of the breed includes, among other things, the fact that it has a very pronounced hunting instinct. In the home, you will soon get to know their tremendous jumping power. These not exactly small cats can jump considerable heights and distances. You should definitely take this into account when furnishing your home.

The Norwegian Forest Cat's claws are robust. The scratching post must be correspondingly stable.

Apart from being driven by its hunting instinct, the Norwegian Forest Cat is not a particularly strong stray, as one might think. It can be kept indoors without any problems. However, it will certainly benefit from being given the opportunity to go outside occasionally, even in winter. A cat-proof balcony is sufficient here. The Norwegian Forest Cat is also an ideal inhabitant of a city apartment. It is not an intrusive roommate and does not need much communication. However, as soon as you are at home, it will want to be close to you and is happy for any attention and cuddles. The Norwegian Forest Cat's tolerance and sociability allow it to live together with other breeds and dogs without any problems. Friendly interaction with children is also a matter of course for this breed!
