Welcome to our brand new blog

In March 2011, I decided to move along with the times and begin a blog.

"Norskwood Norwegian Forest Cats" are Ali, her other half Steve (who reluctantly builds and maintains the cat garden and who does all the heavy lifting!) and our toddler son Gethin who was born in September 2010, plus an assorted cast of beautiful but delightfully dotty Norwegian Forest Cats. We're based in London, UK and devote a lot of our spare time to the breeding and showing of our Norwegians.

This is an attempt to keep a kind of diary of their exploits as and when I have a spare minute in between babies, cats and kittens' demands! Hopefully you'll enjoy it...

Blue Boo's Big Day Out!



Well, Blue Boo did us proud at the Aristocats show at Ware on Sunday 6th March 2011. He's now 18 months old and weighs about 7 kg and is just in fantastic coat. As usual, he was very chilled out sharing his pen with Roly Poly and his 8 month old son Cracker and came out to give his admiring public some lovely cuddles.

He won his 5th CACGIB, BIV (beating our Betty) and then was Nominated over 2 other wonderful NFO boys owned by our good friends John and Caroline Tipper. I wasn't too hopeful of a BIS win as he was up against a wonderful Turkish Van, but good on him, he posed like the trooper he is and won Best in Show Adult male, then beat the girl to Best in Show Adult and finally he beat his own son Monty (GB*Bjorn of Macleod) who was BIS 3-6 Month Kitten to Overall Best in Category 2.

I love Blue Boo mostly for his temperament, but I have to say that he looked fabulous yesterday. When he came home he told all the girls about his exploits via the mesh in the cat garden! Of course they were suitably impressed...
