Comparing Norwegian Forest Cat and Siberian cat in a table

Comparing Norwegian Forest Cat and Siberian in a table
Fictional Siberian cat! Beautiful right?! Image: MikeB

Here’s a table comparing the Norwegian Forest cat and the Siberian cat based on set criteria I gave Bing Co-pilot:

BIG APOLOGY: THIS TABLE DOES NOT RESPOND TO PHONE SIZE. IT IS TOO WIDE FOR THE PHONE SO YOU WILL HAVE TO TURN THE PHONE SIDEWAYS! HECK. NOT GREAT. 🤢🤔

Vocal and Lap catsLess vocal, not typical lap catsModerately vocal, social but not necessarily lap cats

Norwegian Forest cats and Siberian cats share some similarities, such as their affectionate nature and thick coats suited for cold climates. However, they differ in their vocalization tendencies and whether they are considered lap cats. Norwegian Forest cats are generally quieter and less likely to be lap cats, while Siberians are moderately vocal and social but not necessarily lap cats. The prices for these breeds can vary significantly based on lineage and other factors. Both breeds are recognized by major cat associations and have established breed standards that reflect their origins and historical roles.

Beautiful Norwegian Forest Cat

Photographed by Helmi Flick, here is a truly beautiful Norwegian Forest Cat. He has a nice name when he is not on the show stage, "G Baby" or "Guri". Of course his show cat name (I'll call it his stage name) is a lot longer: RW QGC/CH HattKatts Guri of ForestKatz. At the date of this post he is 7 years of age and he has a red classic tabby and white coat. And what a coat it is! This is a really stunning cat. So sweet, so NFC.

I made a picture video a long time ago using Helmi's photographs and it has Guri in it. Guri is a stand out cat. Here is the video. You can see lots more beautiful Norwegian Forest Cats but Guri is the one that sticks in my mind.



Guri is a male breeding cat at ForestKatz. He has won many prizes and it is hoped that his offspring will do the same. They probably already have.
