The large. semi-long-haired Norwegian forest cat has a waterproof double coat made with coarse guard hairs with a dense undercoat designed for cold Scandinavian winters. Their coats can come in any color but often feature a tabby brown-and-white fur. They have large, almond-shaped eyes and a triangle shaped head. This breed is active and requires scratching posts and toys to keep their attention. They live to about 13+ years and take on a height of 9-12 inches. They are also adaptable and social when they want to be. Although they are a gentle. calm breed, they are not considered “lap cats.”
