Norwegian Forest Cats have a thick
fluffy double-layered coat, tufted ears
and a long bushy tail to protect them
against the cold. Their coat is
essentially waterproof due to its
coarse outer layer and dense
underlay.
They are very large cats with adult
males weighing 6 to 10 kg (13 to 22
lb), while females are approximately
half that size.
Their hind legs are longer than their
front legs. They are very intelligent,
playful cats that enjoy human company.
The nickname of "Wegie" began in the
United States and is a shortened
version of the word Norwegian.
