      I had no idea they had certain health concerns. I was under the impression they were pretty much a super breed, very little illness.

      Purebreds of any kind have a higher risk of health conditions. So this isn't unique to Wegies. However, overall they are pretty healthy!

    My daughter has a Norwegian forest cat named Farley that she rescued from an animal shelter 9 months ago, and we absolutely love him so much! Such a sweet and loving boy

    I had a Norwegian Forest cat. He had tuxedo coloring. He weighed 14 lbs by the time he was a year old! He didn't gain any more weight after that, though. He had such big paws, like snowshoes! I called him my snow kitty. ❤

    I own/rescued both a Maine Coon and a Norwegian Forest cat. They are both males, and a few years apart. The Maine Coon is a gray mackerel tabby that I adopted from an animal shelter when he was a kitten. He is 11 now. The Norwegian Forest cat is a black and white tuxedo cat that I rescued from the woods when he was about 6 months old. Everyone who meets them immediately falls in love with them because they are so beautiful, friendly and sweet.

    Lost my special wegie last summer to sudden heart failure. She was such a good baby. Love you forever, Tabby.❤

    My late fiance had a Norwegian Forest cat. After she died another one, from the feral colony in the park, found me and eventually became a house cat. I will always remember the day when I was taking a nap on the couch and she jumped up and cuddled against me; showing that my companionship was more important to her than just food.

    oh wow! all that thick fur sounds amazing to bury your head in when you're sad. I do that with my Burmese and although her coat isn't long, it's so soft and plush I just love it. Not to mention she's bloody adorable. I've gone from completely uninterested in animals to crazy cat lady in less than a year.

    The Maine Coons and Norwegian Forest Cats are genetically and physically similar, but they were almost extinct? Talk about fate intertwining.
    Also, I love the nickname "Wegies"! That reminds me of those green-clothed and purple-clothed guys!

    I have a male black cat that adopted me recently. He is such a sweet boy. In doing some research I do believe he is a NFC. He looks exactly like the black one in your video. I have no idea his age, but the vet estimated him at 2-3 years. He was thin at 9 pounds when he came but is about 12 pounds now. He has been neutered and is very happy to be an inside boy. I wish I knew his history. He had been on his own for quite some time as he was a mess.
