A Forest Cat in her element
FYI
"NFC" is the American abbreviation for the Norwegian Forest Cat.
In Europe they use "NFO". I have no idea why Americans had to change it.
Must be like the basic tabby color. In the US they are called brown tabbies in Europe they are called
black tabbies. Genetically the Europeans are correct. It is the gene for black that determines this color.
I prefer to use the European designation since this is a European breed. So when you see a cat
designated as a brown tabby genetically it is a black tabby and is really the same color.
Norja is the Finnish word for Norway. The 'j' is like the Swedish 'j' and is pronounced as a 'y'.
