The Norwegian Forest Cat: Beautiful and Social
Characteristics and Facts
Appearance
Norwegian Forest Cats have a large and muscular build, sturdy legs, and a broad chest. Their full, double coat consists of a dense undercoat and a water-repellent topcoat, with a striking long, fluffy collar around the neck, a lush plume tail, and often long ear tufts.

Norwegian Forest Cats are known for their friendly, gentle, and social nature. They are often affectionate towards their owners and generally have a calm and confident demeanor. They get along well with children and other pets.

Norwegian Forest Cats are generally healthy cats, but they may be prone to certain health issues such as hip dysplasia and hereditary heart diseases. Regular veterinary check-ups are important for their health.
Life Expectancy
Norwegian Forest Cats usually have a fairly long life expectancy, often between 12 and 16 years, sometimes even longer with good care and a healthy lifestyle.
