Benefit from the cat from the Vikings! About 4Thousand years back these felines arrived on the scene from the Scandinavian forests to hold using the humans, and it's no shocker that each side feel special about this. “Wegie” (rhymes with “squeegee”) is the nickname, and charm is the game.

These felines possess a fascinating history. Domesticated felines moved using their individuals to Northern Europe, and a number of them started living wild resides in the forests. They migrated to coping with individuals Norwegian. Their forest time had labored lovely changes a lengthy, lush coat having a magnificent mane and tail, amazing tree climbing capabilities, and heavy hunting abilities.
Purebred Norwegian Forest Felines are a couple of felines in a single. They're fully covered throughout the wintertime, as well as in the summer time they shed the lengthy undercoat and appear almost shorthaired, aside from their ears and tail. They are available in any cat color, aside from the “points” we have seen in Siamese.
Despite getting two periods of untamed residing in their past, Wegies are highly affectionate and love other living creatures. If they will remain alone for lengthy periods, they require a companion, which doesn’t need to be another Wegie. These Betas are highly social, so that they are wonderful options for individuals with children and/or dogs.
When they love hugging and petting, they may extend along our leg than relax within our lap. Possibly it’s equally well, like a adult male can achieve 22 pounds without having to be body fat. That large size needs time to work to mature. We can’t consider them developed until they're four approximately, and that’s once they obtain the magnificent mane around their neck.
They love climbing and perching on high places, and thus take some type of outlet which will allow them to securely indulge their arboreal habits. They're such good tree climbers that they'll really descend mind-first. They've complex predatory actions, and can love toys that allow them “feel the search.” They are active and sports felines who require more room and workout than average.
They're also noted for being highly intelligent, with the curiosity that is included with it. Wegies like to figure things out, and creating puzzles and games on their behalf is equally as essential as being careful of the physical needs.
To locate Wegie traits within the shelter, we are able to search for the “lynx tips” around the ears. Distinguish them in the Maine Coon by realizing that Wegies are less sturdy, and much more lanky.

Just looked it up. Pretty cool.
How precious is that???
Norwegians mature slowly and are generally not considered fully mature until 5yrs old. However 7lbs is still quite small for a 3yr female of this breed. If she is a pedigree Norwegian Forest Cat and not just a mix that looks like one I would recommend taking her to the vet to make sure that there is not an underlying medical problem such as a hyperactive thyroid that is preventing her from growing.
