Welcome to our brand new blog

In March 2011, I decided to move along with the times and begin a blog.

"Norskwood Norwegian Forest Cats" are Ali, her other half Steve (who reluctantly builds and maintains the cat garden and who does all the heavy lifting!) and our toddler son Gethin who was born in September 2010, plus an assorted cast of beautiful but delightfully dotty Norwegian Forest Cats. We're based in London, UK and devote a lot of our spare time to the breeding and showing of our Norwegians.

This is an attempt to keep a kind of diary of their exploits as and when I have a spare minute in between babies, cats and kittens' demands! Hopefully you'll enjoy it...

Christmas Chez Norskwood...

Well, it was a quiet but happy day here yesterday. Gethin opened his presents, well to be fair, we opened his presents. I think he would have got RSI if he'd tried he had that many! We dressed him up as a reindeer for the occasion just to embarrass him in later years, and because he looked SO cute.


The kittens all joined in and played with paper, bags and enjoyed the Queen's speech and lots of food.

Betty's Three Tortie Terrors



Today I took some photos of Betty's girls and I shall endeavour to load a slideshow of them on here today (it's a bit hit and miss, not sure if it's me or what!). They had places to be and weren't keen on having their photos done, but I tried my best.

They are now 6 weeks old and extremely cheeky running around the house like a herd of small elephants. Although I've had a lot of interest, the girls still haven't found their new human slaves unfortunately. If you'd like to know more about the kittens then please phone Ali on 0208 529 8114.

Roly Poly's Photo Shoot



Back in June I took Roly and Cordy to a photo shoot for Pro Plan. Cordy wasn't playing ball but Roly was having a wonderful time until he decided he didn't like the noise of the enormous flash gun!

 This photo is the first photo that was taken of him that day and was almost used for the product- in the end they used a photo of a friend's cat because of the placement of her paws (odd, but that's how they work!). I think he looks great bless him.
