These cuddly, lovable creatures are great with kids, the elderly, other cats, and, given the right circumstances, even the occasional dog. Their boldness is one of the things that’s quite unique about the Norwegian Forest Cat. If (or when) it wants some attention, it won’t hesitate to let its people know.

Not to be mistaken for the larger Maine Coon cat, the Norwegian Forest Cat, or “Wedgie” as it’s also known, is also quite big and warrants a lot of play space. Once provided with the room it needs, however, this highly adaptive nordic cat can feel at home almost anywhere.
