      Wow! Is it possible to have a miniature 6lb. NFC? They are the only breed of cat I’ve been able to find online that looks even remotely like mine !?even this guy bandit has the same texture to his fur, ear, tufts long fur between the toes….as my rescue girl. And she has all the personality traits as well. Never met another feline like her, and I’ve had several.

    • @dancing_fig
      @dancing_fig Před 2 měsíci +5

      @@hmh3808, I believe so! Our Lily was a rescue who never topped 10lbs, and our vet ID'd her as an NFC (she was a dead ringer for the photo demonstrating 'here's what an NFC looks like' in a book of his, and he was super-excited, since he'd never had one in his practice in over 30 years as a vet.) We never did any breed DNA testing or anything, though.
      It took her a *long* while to get up to her top weight, and she never 'grew into' her feet - she was our smallest cat, but she had the largest paws, by far. We learned that she'd been adopted from a shelter in TN at around 5 months old, but something happened in the next 12 months, since that was when she wound up in our backyard in FL. (Her TN owner never responded to calls.)
      The periods of fending for herself likely meant that her growth was really hit and miss during some of those formative times. So we figure malnutrition was why she was so tiny under all of her adorable floof.

    Our groomer eventually stopped seeing cats because she was tired of getting scratched and bitten. Our Norwegian Forest Cat, Furdinand, was the only feline client she kept. "If I didn't get to see Furdi my life would be a little emptier." That was a direct quote.
    My Furdinand is gone now, but, of all the pets I've had in 50 years, I have more stories about Furdi than any of them. He was a unique, hearty, special cat, and an apparently a great representative of the breed. Just get one already. You won't regret it. 🙂

      I have similar experience with a Chartreux… Byron …
      Massive cat (14kg) but sweet and peaceful. None in the family was ever scratched or bitten. He was so relaxed that I used to watch the tv with Him lying belly up on me for two hours straight. Used to spend hours sleeping between my pc monito le and keyboard while studying at Uni. I miss Him so much still.

By the time they snipped off all the clumps she had so many bald spots they recommended just shaving her whole torso. She put up with it surprisingly well, and though she looked silly with just her head, legs and tail fluffy Summer was coming up and she LOVED her new buzz cut, and being petted like that seemed like a heightened sensory experience for my sweet old girl.

    Ok this cat was very well behaved and docile as far as cats being bathed goes. Even when he hissed it was more like him saying "ow that hurt"
    He displayed no aggression and simply let himself be heard

    I just lost my beautiful Norwegian Forest Cat Babe at 18 to kidney failure. Sweetest girl in the world and also the most talkative ever.

    pets of the day: Riker and Jean-Luc ... hmm, I'm wondering what franchise their owner is a fan of 😀

      You can know a lot about someone by their pet's name. I'm naming my future dog after the dog in my favourite show, and when I watch dog shows, there's always at least a couple of nerdy names. Heck, I used to know someone whose rats were named Buffy and Willow.

      I wouldn't be too suprised at Riker, but Jean-Luc gave it away-

      As a STNG fan, I'm over the moon by the names. I hope they also behave like their namesakes

      Amanda Rogers swears it was an accident and she doesn't know how to turn them back.

    We used to have a Norwegian forest cat, he passed away when he was 17. He was such a sweet boy and just so chill and lovely

    My sisters Norwegian cat is just like him. He's around 4-5 and never heard him say anything. He's so intelligent and has severe case of FOMO (fear of missing out)! 🤣 He doesn't like pets, but he is so curious of everything. His favorite activity is watching when you're making food and sniffing the ingredients. ❤

      Some cats are deeply attached to their humans, they want to be arount them all the time. Also, some cats are very sociable. My 2 cats are always around when I have guests and are very happy to blend in the "group". Laying on the floor belly up or paying attention to what we say, trying to cuddle their favorite guest or inspect someone's bag, if open. Mine are former strays, but Norwegians are by nature sweet, sociable, loving kitties. So fear of missing out might happen to those adorable fluffy angels.
