Norwegian Forest Cat - Personality.If you are looking for a cat that is startlingly majestic in appearance, and is friendly, lively and has plenty of personality, the Norwegian Forest cat could be just the cat for you. These beautiful longhair cats are intelligent and are incurably curious. They love to investigate everything, do not easily accept that certain places and rooms may be out of bounds to them, and don't like to miss out on anything. Because of their intelligence and curiosity Wegies are quick learners. They are often taught to walk on a leash and some will even learn to fetch a thrown toy. They thrive in the company of other cats, and will almost always happily share their home with a dog. Norwegian Forest Cats are gentle creatures and full of affection. They love to stick close by you, but when the weather is hot they are not over fond of sitting in your lap, preferring instead to curl up at your side. In general these Forest Cats are not a nervous breed. They tend to take change in their stride and are not easily startled. This, coupled with their very even temper, makes them a good choice for homes with children. If you intend keeping a Forest Cat as an indoor only cat you will need to provide a good quality climbing post, or better still two! For these cats love to climb, the clue could be in the name :-) When outside Wegies regard a tree as an invitation to clamber that would be rude to turn down. They don't often get stuck though, as they are just as skilled at climbing down as they are at climbing up, and will often come down the tree head first, quite a sight to see. Because they are a natural breed developed in the cold, harsh climate of Scandinavian forests, Norwegian Forest Cats generally have few health problems. These cats are somewhat slow to mature and do not reach their full proportions until around four years. In general, Wegies have very healthy appetites. Their diet, and exercise pattern needs to be watched to prevent them from becoming overweight.
