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...

Happy News; Dougal is home!

Happily, Dougal, who is one of our babies from Sparky and Greebo's litter last summer (he'll be 1 in July) was found and is now home and being spoiled rotten! He's a Red and White Tabby and is the spitting image of his Mum Sparky. Dougal's owners are now going to look into cat proofing their garden- something that is sadly required in urban areas to keep beloved cats safe from cars and those nasty folk who would either injure or steal them.

New Kitten Photos...


We still have kittens searching for their new homes.... above is Buffy's Silver Tortie girl, and her Black Tabby sister is also available plus 4 from Chilli's litter (girls: Black and White, a Black Tortie and White and a Tortie Tabby and a Red Tabby Boy).

Give Ali a ring on 0208 529 8114 for more info and photos.....

Where do I begin??!

Well, I haven't had time to update the blog much lately. We went to the Aristocats show in Bourne on the 11th and 12 th June. Roly, Treacle and Sparky are now all Champions! Sparky was a last minute entry- she has little coat and hasn't been shown since February 2010. Despite that she won her class and even got her CACIB on the Sunday- at last, Sparky is a Champion!


Cracker won his CAC's both days and was BIV on the Saturday (not enough cats for BIV Sunday). Roly was BIV Sunday amazingly. Delilah came out as a neuter- her first show since Feb 2010 too and won her CAP's both days. Brea won her CACS both days and Cordy won her CACGIP's both days. And Blue Boo, well he was NOM Saturday and Sunday, and was BIS Adult Male and Overall BIS Adult Sunday. Bless him- he's such a glorious cat.


At the hotel on Saturday we had fun... Sparky plucked up the carpet while we were out having dinner and we had trouble getting back in! And 3 entire boys in a miniscule bathroom wasn't possible! The cats wer SO excited about being away in a hotel overnight that they kept waking me up to tell me....not much sleep that night.

Sunday was my birthday- and how proud was I that Blue Boo did so well?!
