As their name implies, the Norwegian Forest Cat originated in Norway. Known as Skogkatter in their native language, Norwegian Forest Cats accompanied the Vikings in their travels throughout Europe. The breed developed on its own in the cold climate of Northern Europe, which led to its profuse, double coat.

In the late 1930s, some of these cats were shown in Germany at a cat show, and the breed caught on. During World War II, the breed was almost forgotten. In the 1970s, it experienced a resurgence.

The Norwegian Forest Cat was first recognized by The International Cat Association in 1984. Since then, it has been accepted for registration by the Cat Fanciers Association, and the American Cat Fanciers Association.
​



Norwegian Forest Cats are known for being tolerant toward children and other pets. They are very intelligent, and enjoy climbing. They are not easily stressed, and adapt better to change than many other breeds of cat.

Even though these cats have a thick, fluffy coat, they do not need frequent grooming like other longhaired breeds. A once a week brushing is enough most times of the year. More frequent brushing in the spring keeps lose hair from ending up all over the house.
