The Norwegian Forest Cat breed is the official breed of Norway. These long haired beauties are often confused with the Maine Coon, but are a bit larger. The earliest written records of Norwegian Forest Cats come from the Edda. The Edda is a set of epic poems written between 800 and 1200 AD that records the stories from Norway’s ancient pagan religion. These poems describe Freya, goddess of fertility, beauty, and love as driving a chariot that was pulled by 2 large cats. It is debated as to whether these cats were Norwegian Forest Cats, but that is the most popular conclusion.
