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...

Eastertime

Love Me Tender in the cat garden
Montie discovers the Easter deccies!

Easter Sunday and it's STILL amazing weather. The cats and kittens and of course us have all been enjoying spending some time in the garden. I'm feeling tired as I've spent the past 2 nights on alert for the birth of kittens.

Chilli is pleased to announce the birth of her 2nd litter with Blue Boo on Friday night/Saturday morning (St. George's day babies) and Buffy gave birth to her final litter today, and their Daddy is Greebo. Gethin was very pleased to assist Buffy in her birth by quite literally holding her paw when the first kitten was born- he's a very hands on sort of baby! Buffy always likes to have me beside her when she has kittens and loves to be stroked and hold paws. I think she sees Gethin as a kitten too.

Easter

Well, the weather is fabulous and the kittens have been enjoying sharing the cat garden with us. Gethin and Sookie have a special bond, but she also loves her Daddy Stevie. They've all been exploring and playing under the watchful eyes of their Mummies.
 We still have 3 gorgeous babies from Willow's litter available- see photos below- 2 boys and a girl. Contact Ali if you think you're up to the job of human slave!

Kittens, Kittens everywhere!

Well, all of Anya's lot are now reserved bless them. Steve is still resisting us keeping Sookie, but seeing as she adores Gethin and he adores her... how can we say "no"?

The kittens have been enjoying the lovely sunny weather and Willow's lot have discovered the Big Outdoors because the back door has been open and they've ventured into the cat garden. They're most put out today because it's turned a bit chilly and they can't go out! They've taken to running over us in the middle of the night playing chase.

Anya's babies are all over the house and loving it. They're the most outgoing little souls and love their older brothers and sister.

Love Me Do, Love Bug and Stupid Cupid

New Photos

                           Cat toys work well for babies too! Gethin & his best friend Sookie

And of course, it works the other way round too- kittens LOVE baby stuff!
                                "My work here is done"! Typical kitten chaos chez nous...


The past two weeks we've been decorating and laying a new floor downstairs. As you can imagine, this has been great fun for the kittens and also for Gethin. We've been camped out in the bedroom for quite a big part of it, which has been cosy. It's nearly all finished now thankfully- just some odds and ends to do.

More kittens photos will follow this week as time allows....
