The Norwegian Forest Cat, or Skogkatt in Norse, is an ancient breed believed to have been a beloved companion of the Vikings. These hardy cats were not just pets—they served a vital purpose aboard Viking ships and in rural homes by keeping grain stores and supplies free from rodents. Their thick, water-resistant double coats, powerful claws, and agile climbing skills made them ideally suited to the rugged Scandinavian climate.

Norse mythology also reflects their significance: the goddess Freyja, associated with love and fertility, was said to ride a chariot pulled by two large cats—likely forest cats. Because of this divine connection, these cats were considered symbols of good luck, and it was customary to gift them to brides to bless a marriage.

Today, the Norwegian Forest Cat remains a national treasure of Norway and a living link to Viking heritage—strong, independent, and wild-hearted, just like the people who once roamed the fjords.

We are a dual tica/cfa registered breeder located near Culpeper in Northern Virginia.  We started working with Norwegians because of how difficult it is to find a well bred NFC in the U.S.  Our goal is to positively contribute to both maintaining and improving the breed.

According to one Olde Norse legend, the grey Norwegian Forest Cat was supposed to be the subject of a bet between two Norse gods: Loki and Thor. The cat belonged to Loki, who persuaded Thor to lift the cat from the ground to prove the strength and power of the second. Despite Thor trying with all his strength he could not lift the cat off the ground......This is Rhett from our "R" litter...isn't he gorgeous ❤️
