Landsker Felines from the Forest for the Family
Tel: 01834 860165 - 31st July 2010
 
Norwegian Forest kittens range in price in the UK from £350 - £500 for pet kittens, some breeders charge more for a breeding or show cat. Whilst we don't charge more for a breeding cat here at Landsker, having had the privilege of studying feline behaviour for the last few years, we do however insist on kittens going for breeding staying on with their mothers till they are 20 weeks old as the latest science shows that a kitten learns so much from their mother in this time and in the end you will have a much better balanced cat that is able to form healthy attachments to other cats in the long run. Please note that all kittens available can be found on this page and it is always up to date even if the date isn't current when you view. Landsker kittens are brought up underfoot in our home with us as pets and are only allowed access to the outside pens when they are big enough to jump onto the kitchen countertop themselves. This is what helps to make them so sociable as both kittens and adults.
A Norwegian Forest cat can bring so much to your life as they do to ours, endless hours of fun and laughter...who needs the TV? Real companionship, they always know when you're not really up to things and offer never ending comfort just when you need it. Great perspective on life, they really don't sweat the small stuff and to see them full of the joys of spring and just life in general is a huge bonus to us. Have a look at the kittens from the past below. When you get a kitten - What you see is definitely not what you get in the end. They always surprise you with their majesty and intelligence :-) |

WHY, WHAT, HOW, WHAT IF?
Why? - why would you want to own a Norwegian Forest Cat? Well I've always loved cats and was brought up with them in my daily life but I wanted something different when I was looking for companions to travel down here to live in Wales. Much as I loved the Moggies that had given me companionship over the years I wanted something unusual and striking to look at. Forest Cats gave me so much more than just a companion that interacted with me as and when they felt like it.
What? - what are you getting when you choose a Norwegian Forest Cat? You are not just getting a feline companion, you are getting a friend who will make you laugh and make you cry and enrich your life in ways that you never thought possible. These are intelligent cats that are sensitive to any mood you may be experiencing and will always be there to let you know that you are not alone. They will love you and play with you and entertain you for their lifetime.
How? - how do I look after a Norwegian Forest Cat? By giving them choice and variety in every aspect of their lives so that they can live a happy healthy and balanced life. This is not a cat that you can ignore and if you give them choice and variety in their lives they will give you far more than they take. A bit of grooming, a quality diet and your love is all they really need. In return you will be amazed at what they give to you.
What if? - what if I decided to have a Norwegian Forest Cat in my life? You would then have all the benefits of the 'Ultimate Feline Companion'. Whether you live alone or with your family they will bring a richness into your life that is addictive to say the least. My advice to anyone wanting to meet this wonderfully majestic breed is to go to a breeders house and spend some time getting to know them and understand that what you see is never what you get in the end as their full potential is only realised once you have let them into your heart and home.
If you would like more information then please feel free to email or ring for a chat.

If you would like to consider rehoming a Norwegian Forest Cat then please feel free to get in touch. Sometimes for whatever reason some cats just don't suit the breeding life and would be much better off in a loving home with fewer cats so either give me a call or email me. We have the option of possibly two cats available for adoption at the moment so if you are interested in giving a special loving home to one of them please feel free to get in touch. .
At the moment we have 2 cats needing a loving new home and they are Pirro and Parvani, brother and sister. Pirro is a blue smoke and white neutered male and Parvani is a blue silver tabby & white female. Please contact Heather if you are interested in giving these young cats a good home on: 07531 740695.

Kittens from the Past - updated 26.02.2010
As we all know, fluffy kittens grow up to be adults. The beauty of the Norwegian Forest cat is that they take a long time to mature fully into the beautiful adults that they promise to become as a kitten. Below you can see a few of the kittens that are just starting to show more of their huge potential as adults.
Below you can see Ulysses when he was a baby and how he was at 10mths old. I was absolutely bowled over by the size of him when I went to drop Yogi off. Uly is now only 10 months old and as large, if not larger than his father. Added to that his wonderful Tippo temperament, he kept head butting my head just as his dad does....what a guy!

Grand Champion & Tica Grand Champion Landsker Ymer
Tippo x Helena
Ymer is now called 'Pink' and he lives a happy life up in Yorkshire with Kate. He's a very sweet natured boy, belying his true nature of a clever boy who can open doors when you're not looking...just like his dad Tippo :-) I'm very happy that he's gone on to sire some lovely kittens and passed on his genes into the Forest cat population. Thanks for taking such good care of him Kate. |

UK Grand Champion Landsker Neo
Tippo x Helena
It was also a great pleasure to meet up with Neo now as a mature male and I have to say that he is an impressive cat to meet, jumping from Jeanette's arms onto my shoulder even though he hadn't seen me for a couple of years at least :-) It wasn't that easy to get a photo of him as he is so interested in everything that is going on around him. He really is a lovely boy and does Jeanette proud as well as me. Congratulations go to both of them on his BIS Entire male at the NFC Club show in February. Jeanette has given Neo a wonderful life and as natural a one as anyone could give a stud cat. I'm so happy that the two males that I have sold for stud have gone to such loving and understanding owners who know what a hard life a male can have so a huge Thank you goes to them both.
23/11/08 Neo gained his 2nd UK Grand Challenge certificate at the Supreme and is now a UK Grand titled cat and also the second entire male in all these years to get that title - Well done!!!

Landsker Talulah & Landsker Paramida
Tippo x Vespers - Lysander x Lechsinska
I just love this picture of Talulah in the snow that Shirley was kind enough to send me this week. She has a really lovely wild look which, I am assured, is nothing like her temperament as she is a big softie :-) Shirley also now has Paramida aka Pandora who has settled in so well in the short time she has been companion to Talulah and the other cats in the household. Below you can see her out and about living the best of life naturally ;-) Thank you so much Shirley for giving the girls such a wonderful home.
