What&rsquo;s a Norwegian Forest cat, and why are they so special?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, for starters, they&rsquo;re the official feline of Norway. Their history dates back to the time when Vikings were roaming the seas because they kept these cats on the ships to catch rodents. It&rsquo;s also believed that the Norwegian Forest cats actually brought luck to the Vikings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Nordic mythology, it&rsquo;s even said that the goddess Freyja was being led by two of these cats in her chariot. So, their history goes way back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Norwegian Forest cat is one of the largest domestic cats that you can get your hands on. Together with the Maine Coon, they&rsquo;re a giant sight for sore eyes. However, their size can also be quite intimidating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These cats are high-maintenance because of their long coat, but they&rsquo;re also the kindest and sweetest cats that you&rsquo;ll come across. She&rsquo;ll be the perfect little companion for your family and other pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re able to find out the genetic profile from your breeder, you may also see that these cats rarely get sick, unless they have a hereditary disease. This means that your Norwegian Forest kitten will lead a happy and healthy life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These cats grow fast, but they mature very slowly. So, there&rsquo;s a long learning curve when we&rsquo;re talking about Norwegian Forest kittens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3 things to pay attention to when you&rsquo;re bringing a Norwegian Forest kitten home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

Most of the time, your Norwegian Forest kitten won&rsquo;t fully mature until the age of 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the beginning, kittens usually weigh around 2-3% of their mother&rsquo;s body weight, and afterward, they gain around 10% of their weight daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that your Wegie kitten will gain between 500 and 750 grams each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re someone who never owned this breed before, you shouldn&rsquo;t be worried if your cat doesn&rsquo;t grow this fast. Sometimes, they simply need more time to develop fully. You don&rsquo;t have to panic as long as she eats well and has high energy levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/norwegian-forest-cat\/\" data-lasso-id=\"10623\">Norwegian Forest cats<\/a> are large domestic cats that need to eat much more than your average feline. That&rsquo;s because they grow quickly and love to be active. You have to make sure that you&rsquo;re not underfeeding this giant, or she could face some serious health complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Muscle development<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing that you need to pay attention to is whether the muscle development of your Norwegian Forest kitten is okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you bring her home, you need to know that this breed is very active and energetic from a young age. These kittens will find something to play around with during the entire day, so you should also make sure that you&rsquo;re giving her a safe space to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&rsquo;re quite muscular, considering their robust build. A Norwegian Forest kitten has to have strong muscles because it&rsquo;s in her nature to jump around and run from one place to the next. She won&rsquo;t tolerate being in one place, as it can also be very dangerous for her muscle development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the best way to ensure that her muscles are developing correctly is to take good care of her diet and to always look out for any changes in her demeanor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What will help her develop those muscles even more are many different activities throughout the day. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s so important to get your Wegie kitten a lot of toys that she can play with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Those are calcium, magnesium, potassium, fluoride, vitamin A, vitamin D, and phosphorus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If her diet lacks any of these vitamins and minerals, her bones won&rsquo;t develop as well as they should, they&rsquo;ll be brittle, and she&rsquo;ll develop some serious health issues down the line. We know that you don&rsquo;t want your cat to experience such issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incorporating these mentioned nutrients into her diet will make sure that she grows up into a healthy and agile kitten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specific milestones your Norwegian Forest kitten has to hit<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47873\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-4-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-4-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-4-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47873 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-4-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-4-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-4-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-4.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Now we&rsquo;re talking about the moment when you bring your kitten home. That&rsquo;s when you&rsquo;re left to your own devices. You can always visit the veterinarian, but it&rsquo;s extremely important that you know and understand the milestones that your Norwegian Forest kitten has to hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>From birth to two weeks<\/strong> &ndash; she&rsquo;ll gain her eyesight and the basic functions of her organs. All the other senses will start to kick in during this same period. So, she&rsquo;ll start to develop her sense of smell and hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>From 2 to 4 weeks<\/strong> &ndash; this is the moment when you&rsquo;ll become a proud cat mom because she&rsquo;ll start taking her first steps. It&rsquo;s also the period when she&rsquo;ll start to purr, and she&rsquo;ll develop her sense of smell completely. She&rsquo;ll become much more social, as she&rsquo;ll start to interact with other kittens in the litter, and she&rsquo;ll interact with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>From 4 to 6 weeks<\/strong> &ndash; this is a very important milestone, as this is the period when your kitten will fully develop an independent immune system. Your Norwegian Forest kitten will also develop her hearing completely, and have a fully developed digestive system, and deciduous (a.k.a. milk) teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>From 6 to 8 weeks<\/strong> &ndash; her immune system will become completely responsive. She&rsquo;ll start to play around more, she&rsquo;ll want to explore the world around her, and she&rsquo;ll play with other kittens and toys. The strong and lean muscles will start to come in around this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>From 2 to 4 months<\/strong> &ndash; this is the period when kittens are at their most active. They&rsquo;ll try to jump around on things and be even more curious, so your little princess could fall into this category as well. However, this is the time when she&rsquo;ll also establish a sturdy sleeping pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>After 4 months<\/strong> &ndash; during this time her reproductive system will be fully developed, and she&rsquo;ll already have certain habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to take care of your Norwegian forest cat kitten<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"665\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-5.jpg\" alt=\"Norwegian Forest Cat Kitten: Complete Guide To Wegie Kittens\" class=\"wp-image-47874\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-5.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-5-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-5-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-5-960x638.jpg 960w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-5-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"665\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-5.jpg\" alt=\"Norwegian Forest Cat Kitten: Complete Guide To Wegie Kittens\" class=\"wp-image-47874 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-5.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-5-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-5-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-5-960x638.jpg 960w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-5-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Norwegian-Forest-Cat-Kitten-Complete-Guide-To-Wegie-Kittens-5.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-5\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>And lastly, it&rsquo;s important to talk about the best way to take care of your Norwegian Forest kitten. She won&rsquo;t have any odd requirements, but it&rsquo;s important that you know what to do once you bring her home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For starters, I&rsquo;d recommend that you introduce her to grooming as soon as possible. If you bring grooming into her life when she&rsquo;s already grown, it&rsquo;ll be hard for her to adjust. On the other hand, a kitten is much easier to control, so once she grows older she won&rsquo;t be scared of brushes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking of brushes, you&rsquo;ll need two of those. One brush with soft bristles that you will use for the fluffy coat, and a metal comb for her undercoat. It&rsquo;s also quite important that you have feline-safe toothpaste and toothbrush. After a while, your Wegie kitten can develop serious dental issues if you&rsquo;re not careful enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&rsquo;d recommend that you brush her at least once a week when she&rsquo;s still a kitten. As she grows older, you can start brushing her more often. However, for a grown cat, it&rsquo;s best if you brush her two times a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to her diet, you should definitely talk to a veterinarian. The recommended amount for an adult feline would be twice a day, using high-quality cat food. What you need to remember is that cats are obligate carnivores! You should never expect your cat to follow your vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, as that&rsquo;s animal cruelty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Playtime and exercise are crucial for your Norwegian Forest kitten. She&rsquo;ll have loads of energy that has to be released for her to be able to fall asleep without any issues.
