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...

At last- Conchita con Queso delivers her kittens safely



She kept us waiting for over 2 days (well, actually she's kept us waiting a lot longer than that because she's been mated several times during the course of her 2 and half years until Blue Boo did the trick this time!), but finally Conchita had her first litter of babies last night.

She had 4 lovely big babies and possibly there are 2 girls, 2 boys and 2 Black Silvers (one with White) and 2 Black Tabbies (one with White). I'll check again later on- these things often change with kittens having miraculous sex changes and colour changes! I'm hoping that there will be a special little girl for me (sshhhh- don't tell Steve).

She waited for me to come to bed last night then refused to get in her box and proceded to give birth cuddled up beside me on the bed. And there they remain this morning because she doesn't want to move just yet. Thank god for Pampers changing mats, they're a god send for cats and babies.

We didn't get a lot of sleep- poor Stevie had no duvet! I'll try and coax her into a bed in a minute....

Latest Photos of Brea's Kittens & Sparky's Kittens

I've been really bad about posting recently- there just seems to be so little time these days. Anyway, the kittens are now 7 weeks old (Sparky's) and 9 Weeks old (Brea's) and are just SO naughty! Of course, Gethin doesn't help- he encourages them, and they bring out the devil in him too...

Enjoy the photos in the slideshow....
