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-Felis Britannica's Best Adult Norwegian Male for 2011



 Last night (Saturday 25th February 2012), I was due to attend the Felis Britannica Awards Dinner in Moulton College, Northampton. Unfortunately, I've been feeling decididly under the weather and couldn't go. Last year's was such good fun and we ended up singing Kareoke (if that's how you spell it) despite the fact that we didn't have any music.... a good time was had by all!


So, I was fed up at missing the dinner, but I had a text to say that our darling Blue Boo won Best Adult Norwegian Male- and he didn't go to 4 of the shows in 2011. That cat is just a star.

It makes up for him not doing so well at the Norwegian Forest Cat Club show last weekend- he looked fabulous, in great coat. But he didn't get placed in the Grand and although he was placed in his side classes I reckon that he'll now retire from GCCF shows because perhaps not many of the judges "get" solid Blues.

(The rest of the gang did well, though. Little Bronwen won her Kitten Open , did well in side classes too. Sookie was 2nd in her Open, did well in her side classes. Ari won her first CC in her first GCCF show and did really well in side classes. And my beloved Greebo in his first outing as a neuter at a GCCF show (neutered for only 4 weeks) won his first PC and came first in all his side classes bar one where he was 2nd.)
