Nordy is our baby Norwegian Forest Cat. He’s 11 weeks old, already very intelligent and also lovely. He’s a good climber and he “talks” a lot. In the evening he likes to cuddle under the blanket for a while, then sleeps on the bed.

Thank you ppearson I missed you and all the TDK’s and of course the kittens. My friend doesn’t have any pets so it was a long spell without going awwwwww!
What a little sweetheart! He’s a beautiful kitten!!
What a cutie!! And such an expressive face!
Sweetie! He looks like he got caught in the middle of his mischief making!
Nordy is so lovely I have never heard of that breed but now I am a big fan. Such a sweet face and a cute little mouth.
What a cutie…did someone get a bit soggy before picture-taking time? (I recognize that “pointy-fur” look….) He looks like a thoughtful and earnest young man. (Which I’m sure is a look that lasts until the first piece of string or fuzzy-mouse comes out…)
He looks like he was just “moussed”. He may be a metro-sexual kitty.
Casual FUZZ
look at those eyes! amazing!
i had a cat who was at least part norweeg forest and she was WONDERFUL.
enjoy him!
What a beautiful young boy-kit! I think the Norwegian Forest cats are such a handome breed…one of my favs…
He looks so alert and curious! I bet he is a sweet little troublemaker. Beautiful kitten.
Nordic Track Fuzz! Merry Christmas from Mississippi!
Hey that was a good one!
That was a good one! I still can’t believe I spent $650.00 for a potential clothes rack!
A Gazelle is cheaper! You can get them at Walmart’s for about $100! Less stress on the joints, if you decide to use it and more fun. Can burn alot of calories in 10 minutes! lol
Tony Little lives about 2 miles from me. I’ve never met him, but what a coincidence you brought up the Gazelle—-I read a long article about him last night. He proposed to his girlfriend in the coolest way—she is from a small town in New York, and she loved the 4th of July parade that they have every year. So, as the parade was proceeding, the fire truck stopped in front of her in the crowd, and two firefighters unrolled a huge, “Will you marry me, (forgot her name)? sign. The entire town was in on it. And, of course, Tony had arranged for a news crew to be there! haha! SO romantic. He is 50—he looks great.
Wow, I thought I heard he was gay. The gazelle must have something to it as he doesn’t look 50.
Love those ears! And those eyes! Smooches!
Nordy looks so much like my little guinea-pig sized cat, Emily. I always thought she was “just a long-haired cat”, but after seeing photos of other cats, I wonder if she is not the breed I believe she is. But, aren’t Norwegians normally large cats?
Dee, my first cat was part Norwegian Forrest, she was 15 lbs of love, and slept on my head at night. Her personality was queen of her forrest………(her house& mine). Always a princess in my heart forever. I miss her.
Aww, Princess is one of the names I call Emily. I have got to show everyone photos of her, and my other two. I’ll add that to my “to-do” list. And if anyone has photos of their pets that they’d like to share, please do!
Isn’t there a song about ribbons and bows? I never heard of that breed, I’m gonna have to Google that! At any rate, he is beautiful. Much too beautiful for a boy- Fabio cat!
Well, I don’t have internet at my home-live too far out for cable and can’t recieve wireless-bearly get cell phone, and why am I telling you all this? Well, the campus is closing down at noon Central time, and this is my last post until January 4th. So, May you Holiday season be pleasent, and may the new year find you all back here healthy and happy. I will be one year older on my return (b-day 01/02).
Buttons and Bows–Dinah Shore. (I’m almost embarassed I know that.)
No mor embarassed that I remember it.
I think it was originaly in the movie Pale Face with Bob Hope he sang it sitting on a buckboard. I wasn’t born till after that one came out but I love old movies. We are not getting older Dee we are just getting more experienced!
haha! I’m 43, but my mom was (and is) obsessed with music. Growing up, the stereo was always playing with one of her gazillion albums, so I’ve memorized most of the words to all of those “oldies”. She especially loved Dean Martin and Jerry Vale and Vic Damone—all those old crooners.
Gotta love those Italian guys - good looks and great voices.
can’t remember the singer, but it is a country song called “X’s And O’s”: “She used to tie her hair up in ribbons & bows, and sign her letters with x’s and o’s”….
“CAN’T LOOK AWAY” FUZZ!!!

Can you believe the extent that the engineer and assistant conductor went to for this little guy? (Of course, I’m crying!)
**’Miracle’ Pug Run Over By Train Escapes Unharmed**
Engineer Says Dog Stayed Under Train
UPDATED: 6:59 am PST December 19, 2006
WALPOLE, Mass. — His owners are calling their pet Max the Miracle Dog because he escaped unharmed after being run over by a commuter train.
Boston television station WCVB reported that Max sneaked out of his Walpole home on Friday morning and wandered onto some nearby train tracks. The engineer, Kym Berry, spotted him and slammed on the brakes.
“I blew the horn and put on the bell and he jumped right in the middle of the gauge and just kept running. So I put the train in emergency and he went right underneath the train. And it turns out, he came out the third coach back,” Berry said.
He came out in perfect condition.
“Thank God, he was … not a scratch on him. He was so little that he went under the train and he was fine. Not a scratch,” his owner Robin Lennon said.
At that point, the assistant conductor Pete Tomasini decided to take Max under his wing until they could locate his owners. They made Max an honorary conductor for the day. The passengers loved him, and Max seemed happy, too.
“Every time I stopped he came up and gave kisses. He was very friendly, his little bum was wiggling, he was wagging his tail, he was happy,” Berry said.
His owners said Max seemed unaffected by the ordeal, although he seemed to need a little recovery time.
“When he did come home he slept for 12 hours straight. He was totally exhausted,” Lennon said.
They were praising MBTA workers for their quick-thinking response and for taking care of the pooch until his owners could be found.
your cat looks veary cute in the ribbin and on the scraching post
why did you put a picher of your cat on this webshit
Found it:
Unlike some other cat breeds with a location in their names, the Norwegian Forest Cat truly did originate in Norway. It is a hardy, sturdy cat with a thick, heavy coat, well-equipped to survive in the harsh Scandanavian winters.
They have almond-shaped eyes and sweet expressions. “Wegies” (WEE-jees) are found in most colors and patterns, although most commonly in tabby patterns with white.
Although they bear some superficial resemblance to the Maine Coon, mostly in coloration, they are in fact totally different cats. They have straight profiles, a more compact body, and very sweet expressions. The nose and tips of the ears should form an equilateral triangle. They are a very slow-maturing breed, taking a full five years to reach their full size and development. Males generally grow to between fifteen and eighteen pounds in adulthood, with females somewhat smaller.
The first documented appearance of this breed in the show world was at a cat show in Oslo, Norway in 1938, though the onset of World War II derailed the breed for the next few decades. In the 1970s, Norwegian breeders made a concerted effort to preserve this breed, and by 1977 had standardized the breed in their country, and the first breeding pair were exported to the United States in late 1979.
They are a loving, affectionate, though not overly demonstrative cat. They require regular grooming to maintain their coats, as their full undercoats can mat with inattention.
How sweet!

Q My cat doesn’t like to be held, but there are times when I must hold her, such as at the vet. What should I do?
A You can train your cat to become more comfortable with being held by doing trust-building exercises. Begin by petting your cat when she’s relaxed. Then, place a hand on each side of her for a short while. Do this several times a day. Gradually work up to placing a hand around her. When she tolerates this, the next step is to pick her up (just a few inches off the ground) and place her back down. The “pick-up and put-down” should be over with quickly, before she knows what happened. Make sure that when you so this, you hold her upright and not on her back. You also want to support her hindquarters, so she feels secure and comfortable.
Work up to being able to carry her to another room and back. End each session with a reward, such as a treat or some petting time. Before long, your kitty should learn to tolerate, and even to enjoy, being held.

Anyone from Colorado? How bad is the storm?
I’m in Nebraska, Lincoln to be exact and it’s just cold and raining here, so far. It’s 33 degrees but feels like 20 !
Yuck! It’s 80 degrees in Tampa, but it’s kind of cloudy! (Don’t yell at me, Evangeline!) Actually, it’s been very hard to get in the Christmas spirit this year. Growing up in Michigan, I want snow, or atleast cold weather at Christmas. And it’s been warmer than usual at this time of year. So far the reports are that it will rain and be in the upper 70s on Christmas day.
Hi Dee! It’s about 48 here and it’s raining. A little nippy but tolerable. It’s just so dreary looking, no sunshine. I will send you some of our cooler weather for christmas. It’s supposed to be 41 for christmas with a chance of rain. How are you? I didn’t see you post yesterday. Merry Christmas to you and your furbabies.
I thought you guys could use a break from me! haha! And Merry Christmas to you and your family—furry and otherwise.
I’m in Northern Colorado (Ft. Collins) and it is BLIZZARDING! My fiance lives in Denver and they closed down the convenience store where he worked. All the schools got out at 10:30 this am, and I work at JCPenney and they closed it down at around 3pm. They were hoping people would shop since they weren’t working, but they had to give in. There are drifts up to five feet high all over the place, and I couldn’t see to walk to the mail box!
JERKS!!
**Alleged Bird Smugglers Caught At Canadian Border**
POSTED: 10:00 am PST December 19, 2006
UPDATED: 10:10 am PST December 19, 2006
BUFFALO, N.Y. — It’s a smuggling case — for the birds.
U.S. Customs agents said Monday that they caught two bird smugglers at the Peace Bridge that connects western New York and Canada.
Officials said John Beale and Frank Salvini attracted the attention of agents when they said they had gone into Canada to buy 25 pounds of bird seed.
Agents searched the men and say they found seven live finches that are worth up to $200 each.
The tiny birds were hidden in a coat pocket and a fanny pack. The men were fined $1,000 each and also could face criminal charges.
The article I saw said that the birds were stuffed into toilet paper rolls….. I can’t even imagine that….. Poor little things!
I’ve read that’s pretty common. And they stuff them under the car seats. Finches are the sweetest little birds—very gentle. I really hope they face criminal charges!
Had to share this story… it’s kind of
