Titran's Gabrielle d'Estrée Norwegian Forest Cat

-

Another great looking Norwegian Forest Cat with one of those glamorous show cat names: Titran's Gabrielle d'Estrée. The photographer is Gabrielle's human companion. He is Pieter Lanser.

Pieter might correct me but Gabrielle appears to be a brown classic tabby and white Norwegian Forest Cat. She looks classy and she is holding her gaze into the camera nicely. Cats don't always do that.

Update 6th Aug: Here are two photographs, the top one of three kittens, Querida, Quasimodo and Qamra, born and raised at the Titran's Norsk Skogkatt cattery during 2010.

    Hi, I have just noticed that you say he is a she! Sorry, I have amended the post.

    What happened was that working too fast, I converted Gabrielle's name to Tristran!! And it all went wrong from there....Thanks for the correction.

Beautiful Norwegian Forest Cat runs through a Norwegian forest!

This video has difficulty in playing. I don't know why. But these sorts of technical problems can occur sometimes. I'm sorry if you can't see it. It is unusual to see a Norwegian Forest Cat (NFC) run through a forest. I have taken the liberty in presuming that the forest is in Norway. It might not be but I'd call it poetic licence. You can almost see the original NFC running through the woods before this cat become a breed which would have been in the first half of the 20th century. The NFC is a selectively bred Norwegian moggie. And someone decided that it should be a breed. I guess they wanted Norway to have their own cat breed like America has theirs, the Maine Coon. Photo: Helmi Flick. I made this video many years ago. It surprises me that it is still in existence! It tells you a bit about the breed which you might find useful. The NFC is similar to the Maine Coon in appearance. The big difference is the pointed, triangular muzzle of the NFC compared to the squar

Comparison Between Maine Coon and Norwegian Forest Cat

Some people search for information about the difference between the Maine Coon (MC) and Norwegian Forest Cat (NFC). In fact, it is a fairly common topic of conversation because in general they do look similar and have a similar "public image". In other words, I think that the general public think of them as similar cat breeds. They are, as they may have the same heritage. To me there are certain differences in the appearance and I thought I would just focus on certain aspects of the anatomy! I make a comparison with the CFA breed standards for these two popular breeds of domestic cat. The Maine Coon is probably a better-known cat. Comparison between Maine Coon and Norwegian Forest Cat Photos copyright Helmi Flick Muzzle - I think this is where one of the biggest differences is apparent. The Maine Coon has "a squareness to the muzzle"..."visibly square". While the NFC breed standard says, "part of the straight line extending toward the bas

Cute tuxedo Norwegian Forest cat squeaks in scent-soaker bed

The owner of this Norwegian Forest cat (NFC) tells us that it is rare for this individual cat to squeak. Let's just say it's another form of vocalisation of a domestic cat and it is certainly very cute.The NFC comes in a very wide range of coat types under the breed standard. Perhaps the best coat type for this breed is the tabby-and-white because it has a natural look about it. Or a full tabby NFC looks great too. But here we have a black-and-white NFC (tuxedo in fact) and I think she's female. The owner and video maker implies that NFCs are very quiet. And therefore the squeak or any form of vocalisation is rare. I'm not sure she is correct. Correction: she is correct! NFCs are said to be "usually very quiet, so it may be difficult to know when the female is in season". This quote comes from Gloria Stephens in her book "Legacy of the Cat". Perhaps a more interesting aspect of this video is how this sweet cat is provoked into kneading the duvet b
