They have a sturdy and muscular body with a long, bushy tail that helps them navigate their native forests in Norway. Their coat is dense and water-resistant, with a top layer that is long, coarse, and glossy, and an undercoat that is soft and dense. The coat comes in a variety of colors and patterns, with tabby being one of the most common. Norwegian Forest cats have a triangular head with large, almond-shaped eyes that are typically green or gold in color. They have a sweet and gentle expression, with a broad muzzle and tufted ears that add to their wild and rugged appearance. Norwegian Forest cats are known for their playful and outgoing nature, and they are often described as friendly, social, and affectionate.
