The Norwegian forest cat is a strong, big cat, similar to the Maine Coon breed, with long legs, a bushy tail, and a sturdy body.They are very good at climbing, since they have strong claws. The lifespan is usually 14 to 16 years. The coat is long, glossy, thick with a water-repellent top layer, and a woolly undercoat. There hair is also thickest at the legs, chest, and head. The head is long, with an shape similar to an equilateral triangle. They have a strong chin, and a muzzle of medium length.
The square or round-shaped head is said to be a defect.
Also the eyes are almond shaped and oblique, and may be of any color.
The ears are large, wide at the base, high set, and have a tufted top.They are placed in the extension of the triangle formed by the head, and end with a tuft of hair like the ears of the lynx.
They can have all colors except chocolate, lilac, the dilutions fawn and cinnamon. Since the cats have very strong claws, they are very good climbers, and can also climb rocks. Please leave a comment.

It is interesting that the top coat is waterproof-- it makes sense! I wonder if other cats are the same?
