Welcome to Norskieventyr
So what does Norskieventyr mean you might say, well its two Norwegian words joined together and means "Norsk Fairy Tale". We think this also reflects the NFC temperament.
About the Nowegian Forest Cat
The Norwegian Forest cat is a large semi-long haired breed, comprising of a domestic breed of cats that originated in the Northern Europe region. The Norwegian Forest Cat is classed as a natural breed type totally adaptive to snow and wintery climates. They have a glossy long top coat of which stops rain from penetrating the skin, with a thick undercoat to insulate their body. In Viking folklore it is believed that the Norwegian Forest Cats drove the chariot of the Goddess Freya. The cats were so big and strong even the god of thunder "Thor" could not lift them off the ground. Throughout Viking mythology the Norwegian Forest Cat has long been identified as the fairytale cat, hence "Norsk Fairytale", which is the influence of our cattery name "Norskeventyr.
In the 1970's, the breed became registered as an official breed with the European Fédération Internationale Féline.
About us and our standards as breeders
Norskieventyr is a registered cattery with the GCCF (Governing Council of the Cat Fancy)
We are a small cattery based in the East Midlands of England. We are dedicated to the preservation of the health and wellbeing of the Norwegian Forest cat breed. We were introduced to the breed in 2012 with our two Norwegian Forest Cats "Denaya" and "Dinozzo" and the Norwegian Forest cat breed have been a much loved and cherished part of our family ever since. Our feline companions live with us as part of the family and we do not agree to free roaming for cats. We have a purpose built catio attached to our house where they can safely come and go as they please.
We have spent the past 9 years showing our Norwegian Forest Cats and getting to know the breed better. The show arena provides a solid training ground into understanding and learning the health development/study, temperament and physical attributes of this wonderful breed.
We invite you to look at our pages for more pictures and details of our beautiful cats and feel free to get in touch with us.
