21 Photos Of Norwegian Forest Cats That Prove They Are Too Majestic

Norwegian forest cats mature very slowly, taking around five years to reach full adulthood, which means they retain a kitten-ish nature for far longer than other cat breeds, and love to play. However, all this playing will naturally hone their hunting skills – something Norwegian forest cats are known for. With their thick coat to keep them warm, they love to roam and explore outside, and are likely to bring you the occasional 'gift'. If you live in the countryside, this could even include fish from the local stream, as Norwegians are not put off by a little bit of water! They also love to climb, not only outdoors but also in the home, and you will often find them perched on a shelf or wardrobe, looking down on their kingdom.
