Breed History
The exact origins of the breed are not clear, but it is thought to have emerged from the forest some 4,000 years ago, transitioning to life as a working farm cat and rodent-control specialist. Norse mythology tells us that the breed was the favorite of Freya, the goddess of love, beauty, fertility and health, and that two gigantic “Skogkatts” drew her chariot. It seems likely that Viking explorers may have brought a few Forest Cats with them to keep their ships free of rodents, so they could have arrived on the east coast of North America in the late 900s AD. Named the official cat of Norway by King Olaf in the 1970s, the first breeding pair of Norwegian Forest Cats was brought to the U.S. in 1979. The breed achieved CFA championship status in 1993
