Wissenswertes

Norwegian Forest Cats appear in Norse mythology as the cats that pulled the goddess Freya's chariot — they're so strong that even Thor couldn't lift them.

A large, natural breed from Scandinavia with a thick, water-resistant double coat, tufted ears, and bushy tail — adaptations for harsh winters. Muscular, excellent climbers, and deeply bonded to their families. Featured in Norse mythology.
