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...

Presenting Angel and Betty's New Babies!

 
 
 
"Solitaire"- Solid Blue Girl (Betty's Baby)- Available
 
It's all very exciting- we have some gorgeous Dilute kittens from Betty and Blue Boo (Solitaire-above- born on 25th April 2014), and Angel and Hullabaloo (6 of them, born 29th April 2014). Please scroll down for photos of them all plus more info, and availability.
 
Betty just has the one beautiful, chunky Solid Blue girl we've called Solitaire (above). She was looking a little lonely until Angel had her litter of 6 kittens just 4 days later, and now 7 kittens are being looked after jointly by Angel and Betty and they're all very happy.
 
 
Angel's Blue Smoke Girl- Under Assessment
 
Angel has 6 wonderful kittens- 3 girls: 1 Solid Blue, 1 Blue Smoke and a Blue and White who may be a Tortie, and 3 boys: 1 Cream Smoke and 2 Solid Blues.
 
 
"Goldfinger" Angel's Cream Some Boy- Available
 
 
We have our eye on Angel's girls for Gary who bred both Blue Boo and Hullabaloo, but once we've chosen one, then the other two will become available. Don't hesitate to ask if you're interested in one of Angel's girls, we'll be more than happy to let you know what's happening.
 
 
Angel's Blue & White Girl- Under Assessment
 
 
We've named Betty's kitten already, and we've chosen names for Angels' too, and we're in the process of allocating names to each kitten. We've been re-reading all the Ian Fleming James Bond books recently, so they'll all have names from them! I think that these kittens have great potential, and some may be good enough to show.
 
 
Angel's Solid Blue Boy (Number 1)- Available
 
 
All our kittens are fully vaccinated, neutered, micro chipped, registered with Felis Britannica/FIFe and are insured for 4 weeks before leaving us at 14 weeks.

 
Angel's Solid Blue Girl- Under Assessment
 
We ensure that they're all very well socialised (we have a 3 year old son who loves to play with them all!), and they grow up underfoot in our home and are used to meeting new people and all the usual household noises like the vacuum cleaner, hairdryers, washing machine etc, and of course noisy little boys.
 
 
Angel's Solid Blue Boy (Number 2 )- Available
 
If you'd like to be considered for these babies, please read all our Kitten Information on our website and then phone Ali for a chat on 0208 529 8114, or email Norskwood@ntlworld.com

Home Again

I've now been home for almost 2 weeks and it's very nice to back in the bosom of my family both human and feline.

This week I have to see a Specialist at Bart's who will hopefully shed some light on what is wrong with me and if they can treat me.

So, once more, I will beg forgiveness if we don't answer emails terribly quickly as I maybe either in hospital or feeling poorly. We will try and get emails and phone calls/messages responded to ASAP.

On the happier side, we have kittens due Easter weekend from Betty and Wolfie, and kittens are also expected from Angel the week after.

Poorly Ali...

Sorry I haven't posted on the blog for so long. Life gets very busy at times and something has to give.

Anyway here I am in an unusual situation sitting in a hospital bed at Whipps Cross undergoing tests for a very swollen tummy and feeling very unwell. As an ex Nurse it's not natural for me to be on this side and I  not a very patient patient, nor a good one!

I miss Gethin and Steve and all the cats and kittens terribly. Poor Steve is on baby sitting (I'm not a baby, I am a big boy says Gethin! ) and cat sitting duties and it must be hard work for him.

So, while I'm in hospital our phone might not get answered and emails replied to as often as normal, and we ask for your patience in this.
