The little girl is sweet-looking.  Both parents look very 'European' to me.  What I mean is, they look pretty different from the Japanese type of NFO which I often see.  
Personally, I also like th ...


but essentially I think little Rainy should be a very supplementary partner to Antonio...........what Antonio is lacking, Rainy has it.............and you really have to see this girl to believe show adorable she really is.................
Virginia what I am trying to get from this pairing is Jakarta's size & boning, type, tail length, Karamell's size & boning, head structure, profile and coat.

Likewise, Jakarta doesn't have very dense coat, but Karamell does; whereas Karamell tends not to have much coat as kitten, but is very well developed as adult.  I'm not very impressed with Jakarta's marking, but Karamell's marking is excellent; likewise more white will be closer to my liking and here you go, here comes Rainy my little princess.............

I personally think her asymmetrical face mark looks GREAT...........I have just too many cats with the kind of face marks which are almost the same in all of them...............

She's come from very very strong bloodlines ah.......
Of course I'm eager to see her photos, although you said in another forum (don't remember which) that an NFO looks a lot better as he/she grows ...


not at all girl..............you indeed have started off quite impressively with the kind of bloodline you got.............your patience will pay off one day, if not "VERY" soon.....................

just chill out and cheer up..............
in case you are curious about my new girl Virginia...........

My wait-of-the-century girl from Switzerland, Rainy, has finally come to my home in Hong Kong today and I shall take some new photos for her and upload to here soon.........

Definitely!  He has beautiful ruff and eye colour and his coat is heavy enough.  Plus, he's so affectionate!  But among the coat colours of Somali, I personally like ruddy the most because it's she ...


the only bad thing about Scorpion is that he was either born too soon for the BEST KITTEN in Asia; likewise he was born a little too late for BEST CAT in Championship.................

he has everything to make him the ultimate best............but his birthday didn't help things out..........lol
talking about Joseph, I must say that his Blue Scorpion is defiinitely the real superstar in the championship this year........

I like this boy, and that's the reason I am taking him to the Malaysia show in late November "again"............

But you are different!  You've already accomplished what you crave for, so there's a lot of room for you to pursue your 'dream'!


not quite true to be frank...........I don't always get what I want...............

however the bottom line is that I do endure, and am often able to stay focused on my targets, and I think I do have the kind of characteristics of a hunter..........won't make much noise when I'm "working on it"........until I begin to shine some light on things................

things are better done than said I guess..................
hey Virginia I guess the guy up the top of this page is a little................nuts..........
hope that it's not too long for you..........the forumers in that Malaysian forum tend to be much more knowledgeable in cats than the people here I reckon..................

Yes, a very stunning and eye-catching boy indeed - very sharp overall and 'very NFC'.  I'm most impressed with his ear set, the lynx tips and the head shape.
Some breeders have warned me before tha ...


well this is what I wrote in a Malaysian forum when I was asked by a forumer (who is an ACF judge for more than 30 years) about the following:

comyncats (the Australian judge) asked:

""New topic (for a very few, I suspect!!!) - I can't help but feel that the old, 'dripping' overcoat (of many Norwegian Forest Cats) seems to have been sacrificed in large part to the acquisition of other things, such as more extreme or standardised type. Over to you and Mykatt or whoever else has an interest.""

My reply:

""This is actually a BIG topic to me Lesley.........my experience with NFO's type's'.............

As a designer, there's a word which I "almost" mention everyday, in the school or in the office - "concept". Put it this way, without a clear and good concept no excellent design can be accomplished. And in fact, without a "concept" nothing in life works. Mind you, a "concept" is never meant to be something utterly immaterial or incomprehensible - Einstein and in fact many top scientists always start their exploration of the world with simple concepts and keep developing them.

To me, now as a breeder, I also talk concept. And when you have seen a certain number of a breed of which the interpretation of standards is rather "not the same" in various clubs around the globe, you need to ask yourself - "what's now?".........especially you are starting from scrap......

Well, I did...........

There is, like Lesley says, a trend in Europe these days (especially Scandinavia) of the more narrow-headed, extreme long-bodied NFOs. While what I have seen has told me these cats may ("may") subsequently mature into some nice cats, their expression is in general rather diversed from the early-established type in the post-war era.

I cannot think of an absolute reason for this, but just that it must be some collective favourite of a big group of breeders across a big area that has lead to the outcome. Likewise, in the US since the first pair of NFO import in the 70s', in order to distinguish the NFO from the MCO, a lot of breeders have been directing their programme in such a way that more short-bodied, small-eared, short-and-round-headed Norwegians have been bred over the years, and this is particularly obvious in CFA, perhaps only with a few exceptions (those with supreme achievement are people I'd like to get my cats from too - but only a few). In TICA this is not that serious since in my mind TICA NFOs are relatively closer in standard to FIFe than CFA - this can be reflected by the fact that the 2004 TICA Best NFO, also an International Winner (IW, similar to NW in CFA) is a Swedish-bred cat (TICA IW, SGC S'Aristo Limaz Chief Nacona). Back in Europe of the same year, FIFe EC S'Aristo Limaz Quanah Parker, DSM is the "Skogkatt of the Year 2004" (Best NFO in Europe). No surprise, they are brother and sister of the same litter.

My Aldo (GC, DW Russmania Aldo Rossi) is a cat which I think the body and tail (and perhaps head as well) are not quite long enough, which otherwise I might keep him in my breeding programme. Antonio is definitely a better cat in these areas, hence the reasons why he is intact. The funny thing is, when I showed Aldo in Europe in early 2007 (Italy and Germany) he managed to final all 16 rings in two shows of which 6 rings he got BIS. A few judges had left similar comments like "in US, in generall, NFCs have shorter body and according to the original European Standard, this (Aldo) should be the kind of body length to look for". I was a little shocked, a cat which I think the body isn't quite long enough was regarded by a number of CFA judges that his body is longer than all (or "most") NFC they had seen back home before.

This opens up a window in my head or better still, has consolidated my belief over the years - very extreme and long-headed NFOs are in no way gonna go anywhere in CFA, end of story. This is just so hard to change some collective tastes of a huge population, especially by converting from one extreme to the other's.

Nevertheless, what I'm trying to do is, like Confucionism has it - the Doctrine of the Golden Mean of Balance. Not extreme, not short-bodied-round-headed, but in between. And interestingly and promisingly, this is essentially what Lesley says the "old school" type - back in a couple of decades ago when the breed was re-established in Norway after the WWII. To me, if it is old school, so be it. Afterall I don't really care about how this "type" is generally called, it's just that this is a type I like, and will keep working on in my programme.

With the Norwegians I like the tall and strong type with a thick coat with that specail "charisma". A top show cat in my opinion must have a certain aura. Judging only the standard of a Norwegian is out of the question for me. The overall impression of a cat is much more important.

I don't have a great liking for small, long-headed and elegant NFOs - I prefer the cosy bears with thick paws.........period.""
