The Norwegian Forest is best summed up as sturdy, tree-climbing, patient. Expect a cat that's affectionate on its own schedule, mostly in comfortable silence. Chaos rating 2/5 means the zoomies visit politely and leave.
Care Notes
Grooming: Moderate effort. Brush a few times weekly; more during seasonal shedding. Exercise: with moderate energy, plan daily play sessions and a climbing spot. Health: keep up annual vet visits, dental care, and weight watch — this build gains easily; ask your vet about screening common to the breed line.
