Huge Norwegian Forest Cat the size of a large Maine Coon

On average, the Norwegian Forest Cat (NFC) is smaller than the Maine Coon but there are exceptions and this is one of them. Not all MCs are larger than NFCs. This TikTok video illustrates the point. This NFC is very classic in terms of 'type' meaning desired appearance as per the breed standard. Super appearance. Huge Norwegian Forest Cat the size of a large Maine Coon. Image: MikeB from screenshots. Here is the video. For me it is a bit irritating because of the soundtrack. Horrible for me. But the point is made about size. This is a great NFC. A classic in terms of coat: a grey tabby-and-white. It is his size which is untypical for this breed although they are one of the largest domestic cat breeds challenging the supremacy of the Maine Coon sometimes .

Aslan - Norwegian Forest cat enjoying the outdoors

 


You can read about Aslan and see more pictures on his Instagram page. Aslan. a male Norwegian Forest cat lives in Sweden and is 2-years-of-age approximately, I believe.




Aslan developed FLUTD (feline lower urinary tract disease) rapidly. His urethra was completely blocked. His vet gave him medication to expand the urethra and he peed out kidney stones. It was a serious situation. Feline lower urinary tract disease produces symptoms of prolonged squatting and straining, entering and leaving the litter box often, sometimes without voiding, frequent urination, passing bloody urine, urinating in unusual locations, licking the penis or vulva excessively and crying out during the act of avoiding. It is the most common disorder affecting the lower urinary tract in cats. And lower urinary tract problems are by far the major health concern of cat guardians. There is a 50 to 70% rate of recurrence. It is most commonly seen in older cats i.e. more than one year of age. It occurs in both sexes but the male is more likely to get a bladder obstruction. It's more common in obese cats because of the mechanical interference with voiding and/or infrequent voiding in a less active cat.
