Norwegian Forest Cat
A hardy Nordic climber built for the cold.
The Norwegian Forest Cat ("Wegie") is a large, sturdy breed with a thick, water-shedding double coat that evolved to survive harsh Scandinavian winters. Featured in Norse mythology, it is a strong climber with a friendly, even-tempered nature.

العناية والرعاية
The double coat is surprisingly self-maintaining for most of the year, needing a weekly comb — but during the spring moult it sheds dramatically and requires daily grooming to remove the shedding undercoat. Provide tall, sturdy climbing furniture to satisfy their love of heights.

الأسئلة الشائعة
What is the difference between a Norwegian Forest Cat and a Maine Coon?
Both are large, longhaired and cold-adapted, but the Wegie has a triangular face and straighter profile, while the Maine Coon is typically larger with a more rectangular body and squarer muzzle.
Do Norwegian Forest Cats shed a lot?
They shed moderately most of the year but heavily during the spring moult, when daily grooming helps manage the loose undercoat.
