With a strong, muscular build and long, luscious coats, Wegies are a sight for sore eyes. With that out of the way, Wegies come in almost all conceivable colors and patterns. What are the most common Norwegian Forest cat colors and patterns, though?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>White, black, blue, red, cream, silver, and golden are some of the colors Norwegian Forest cats are known to rock, but we&rsquo;re pretty sure you can get your hands on a Wegie of your choice without much trouble, too. According to the Cat Fanciers Association, there are more than sixty different variations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tabbies or torties, Norwegian Forest cats are affectionate, sweet, and curious creatures that adore hanging out with humans and climbing on the highest spots. Wegies are a favorite among humans because they&rsquo;re large and loving &ndash; they&rsquo;re the perfect balance between a wild cat and a kitten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wegies mature slower than average moggies and they&rsquo;re known to display kittenish behavior well into their adulthood. Norwegian Forest cats are extremely family-oriented and they&rsquo;re more than happy to snuggle the day away with your or your family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We do need to mention that some cat connoisseurs believe that the color of a cat&rsquo;s coat affects the cat&rsquo;s personality- to a certain degree. Orange cats are considered unhinged and unpredictable, for example, and tortoiseshell cats are rumored to have an attitude. What&rsquo;s the tea with Norwegian Forest cats?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

Solid-colored cats are entirely solid which means there are no other tones, markings, or patches of color on their bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solid-colored Norwegian Forest cats can be white, black, blue\/grey, red, and cream. White Wegies are rare and they&rsquo;re one of the most beautiful solid-colored cats out there. Together with pink noses, pink paw pads, and blue eyes, they&rsquo;re a thing of fairy tales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Black Wegies are completely black from head to toe &ndash; even their noses and paw pads are black. Blue\/grey Norwegian Forests are a diluted version of black Wegies which means they&rsquo;re a little lighter than them. Red Wegies are actually orange with matching noses and paw pads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cream Wegies are a diluted version of red Norwegian Forest cats and they&rsquo;re typically blessed with pink noses and paw pads.

A classic tabby cat comes with dense, defined markings on the body and an <em>&ldquo;M&rdquo;<\/em> shape on the forehead. And, tabby cats typically rock a few swirls on the cheeks and a black line down the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tabby Norwegian Forest cats can be mackerel, patched, spotted, or ticked. What do we mean by that? Tabby Wegies can rock different patterns, too, and that&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;re able to differentiate between these four patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mackerel Wegies are defined by narrow markings on the body, barring on the legs and tails, and a tuft of fur on the chest and neck. Patched Wegies, on the other hand, come with patches of color rather than lines or swirls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotted Wegies, as you might have guessed, come with spots of color all around the body and spotted stripes along the spine. Ticked Wegies don&rsquo;t have any spots, stripes, or blotches, but are rather embellished with distinct tabby markings on the face, tail, and legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

Calico Wegies are defined by a white undercoat with black and red patches of color scattered around strategic areas, mainly the stomach, muzzle, chest, legs, and feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calico Wegies can be all sorts of color combinations, including blue-cream, bi-color, tabby and white, van calico, blue, cream and white, and amber. Whichever color combination you decide to go with, you can count on your Wegie to rock a white undercoat with different-colored patches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&rsquo;d argue that calico Wegies are the most mysterious moggies out of the bunch because you never know what you&rsquo;re going to get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.

We mentioned beforehand that chinchilla Wegies and shaded Wegies resemble one another, but here&rsquo;s what makes chinchilla Norwegian Forest cats different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First things first, they&rsquo;re typically defined by an undercoat in one color and tips on the back, sides, head, and tail in a different, darker shade. Furthermore, chinchilla Wegies look like they shimmer when they&rsquo;re walking or running because of the contrast of the two different shades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chinchilla Wegies can be silver, golden, or red. Silver chinchillas come with a white undercoat with black tips on the back, head, tail, and sides. Paw pads are black and noses are red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Golden chinchillas come with a cream undercoat with black tipping on the head, tail, back, and sides.&nbsp;Paw pads are black and noses are pink. Red chinchillas have a white undercoat with red tipping on the head, back, tail, and sides.&nbsp;Paw pads and noses are pink.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Norwegian Forest cats are one of the most beautiful breeds out there.
