Norwegian Forest Cat Longevity: Understanding the Average Life Expectancy
Norwegian Forest Cats, the beautiful and playful cats of Norway, are becoming a more popular breed around the world every year. Their kind, loving, and gentle personality combined with a distinctly beautiful appearance has made the Wegie a favorite among fanciers and families alike.
