Going on holiday

As you might know, my SIFs were in Disneyland today and they are now making their way to Germany to pick me up. I am expecting them for tomorrow. Don't miss out on their whereabouts and go to Momo's, Miss Kitty's and Fin's bloggies to read everything about our Wegie-Adventure (and about the term Wegie) if you haven't done so already.

Yesterday I called for other Norwegian Forest Cats to step out of the vast Cat Blogosphere and contact the SIFs. So far, lamentably, nocat has contacted me. That got me thinking that many, maybe the overwhelming majority of catbloggers, probably isn’t too sure about their ancestors. So, here’s an easy-to follow-quick-check-guide to NFCdom.

You might be a Norwegian Forest Cat if...
...you have a doble-layered coat with thick underfur and a coarse top-layer, that might be a bit greasy (that’s not a flaw but weatherprotection. However, on a Turkish Angora it would be a flaw.).
... your hind legs are longer than your front legs.
... your tail is so long it reaches up to your neck.

... you have tufted ears and snowshoes to protect your toesies.
... you love humans and their company but you are at the same time an essentially independent, active cat.
... you are sociable and you get along with other cats.
... you can climb down a tree with your head first, decending in a spiral*.
... you lose most of your semi-long hair in summertime which gives you an squirrel-like appearance.

* Please note, that this video does NOT show the proper spiral-technique mentioned above! After all I'm still a NFC in training.

I am going through the theoretical steps of the spiral-technique with my eyes closed. Doing so, I can concentrate better. My mom often mistakes that for lazy napping, she doesn't know just how wrong she is!
