About Norwegian Forest Cats
Norwegian Forest cats are an intelligent breed who loves the outdoors as much as being around their humans. They are well known for their long fur coats, bushy tails and calm, gentle nature. They are larger than the average sized cat, with an elegant and athletic appearance.
Norwegian Forest cats are traditionally playful but they are quite content playing by themselves and having some alone time so are happy to be left alone for short periods of time. This active and inquisitive cat is a great choice for first-time cat owners.
A breed that has been often mentioned in old Viking stories and that once received royal recognition from King Olaf, who declared them to be the official cat of Norway!

Benefits of fresh cat food for Norwegian Forest Cats
All cats can benefit from eating fresh food daily. Your Norwegian Forest cat is no exception. Some of the changes you might see after swapping to fresh cat food include:
● Increased energy
● Shinier, healthier coat
● Improved digestion
Like all cats, Norwegian Forest cats are obligate carnivores. This means that they are genetically suited to getting the nutrition they need from meat in their diet. Their sharp teeth are ideal for tearing meat, not grinding plants. Their digestive tract is shorter, because it’s built for meat consumption. Their saliva and their liver don’t break down plants like herbivores do. Yet the industry standard often overlooks this. Instead they use little and poor quality meat in their cat food and bulk it out with grains.
