from a registered breeder
norwegian forest cats have a quiet voice but can develop a loud voice if kept in a house with a dog. they are friendly, intelligent, and generally good with people. the norwegian forest cat has a lot of energy and can be very demanding of attention. those cats that live primarily outdoors become swift and effective hunters, but the breed can also adapt to indoor life. if bought from a registered breeder in the usa, they tend to cost from $550 to $800. the cats usually live to be 14 to 16 years old. as they are heavy-boned and tall, they eat more food than most other domestic breeds.

in 1938 the first organisation devoted to the breed, the norwegian forest cat club, was formed in oslo, norway. the club's movement to preserve the breed was interrupted by world war ii. owing to cross-breeding with free-ranging domestic cats during the war, the norwegian forest cat became endangered and nearly extinct until the norwegian forest cat club helped the breed make a comeback by developing an official breeding program. since the cat did not leave norway until the 1970s, it was not registered as a breed in the fédération internationale féline (fife), the pan-european federation of cat registries, until carl-fredrik nordane, a norwegian cat fancier, took notice of the breed, and made efforts to register it. the breed was registered in europe by the 1970s, and in the american cat fanciers association in 1994. in 1978, it was recognized in sweden, and in 1989, they were accepted as a breed in the united kingdom by the norwegian cat club of britain.
