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...

Amazing Adventures at the Norsk Skogkatt Society Show 1st October 2011



Well, we had a great day out at the Norsk Skogkatt Socety Show on Saturday. The weather was incredible- swelteringly hot. Greebo came out for his first show for over 18 months and won the Grand class making him up to Grand Champion at last at the age of 5. He really loved being back out at a show too. It just goes to show that some cats continue to mature and look good as they get older. I'm a very proud Mum.


Blue Boo also came and was penned next to Greebo, which was good for them as they talked to each other all day. Blue Boo also won his Grand class (his first) and was very chilled out.

His number was called out at the end of the show and it transpired that he'd won Best in Show Adult Male and then Best in Show Adult too. He took it all in his stride- he's so used to being up at the Best in Show panel at FIFe shows and fortunately his steward Saffy is used to showing her Maine Coons and knows how to present a large cat- he looked fabulous. This is his first GCCF Best in Show. Mind you he's only been to 6 GCCF shows.

Gethin came with us too and was prety good considering the heat and the crowds- he loved seeing all the cats. You'd think he saw enough at home really wouldn't you?!

I was incredibly proud of my boys...
