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...

GoE Show at Grantham

Sorry, no photos this time as I forgot the camera, but here's what happened at the show.

Blue Boo was a happy cat- first time out at a show since June and he purred all the way there, all through the day and all the way home again. He won his 1st CACS-only another 9 to go to be Supreme Champion!
Brea won her CACS, was Best in Variety and was Nominated for Best In Show- she was beaten at that point, but did really well.
Sparky won her CACIB- she was a bit grumpy and didn't go through for the BIV bless her!
Anya was also happy to be back out at a show and cuddled up to the judge who really liked her- she won her 1st CAP. Let's hope she doesn't get too fat as a neuter and can continue to go to shows!
Cordy won her CAPGIB- she is almost a Grand International Premier now, which isn't bad for a 6 year old cat.
Sookie won her class- she was just in the 6-10 month Junior class by 2 days. She was also Best in Variety beating several cats most of whom were older than her and titled. The Judge wanted to take her home!
Miss Adventure also won her class and her judge thought she was very beautiful and very promising. She took to her first show really well and enjoyed herself. She would make someone a lovely show neuter and would love to find a good home soon.
The Hamster came along with Mark and really enjoyed her first show. She won her class and then surprisingly went on to win Best In Variety- she's a real show off. Peppa (Sookie's sister) was Ex2, only just beaten by one of our friend's kittens. She's very promising too and has grown so big! When she gets her winter coat she'll be even more gorgeous.

There were several other of Blue Boo's offspring there, all of whom did really well (Sookie's half sister beat her to the Nomination as her coat was better quality).

Needless to say, we're VERY proud of them all.
