Norwegian Forest cat is a strong, robust breed that developed in the harsh-wintered areas of Northern Europe. Because of their hearty winter coat, they tend to change appearance quite drastically between seasons. The Wegie sports a silky flowing coat that can come in a variety of colors. This combined with their deep emerald color eyes makes them quite attractive. Norwegian Forest kittens are slow to develop and may not be mature until four years of age.
The Norwegian Forest Cat is a large, powerfully built cat with long hair, a full ruff, tufted ears and a bushy tail. The front legs are slightly shorter than the hind legs. It is a giant among cats, similar in size to the Maine Coon. The long outer coat is glossy and water-resistant, while the thick undercoat adds protection against the cold. The winter coat is even thicker than the summer one. Inevitably, this means a heavy moult once a year.
Norse legend describes this sturdy cat as mysterious and enchanting. Known in its native land as Norsk Skogskatt (Norwegian Forest Cat), its ancestors were Angora cats adopted by Viking sailors in the Near East to serve as rat-catchers, pets, and sometimes as ships' mascots.
Males are larger; females are considerably smaller. When showing these cats, the changing seasons must be taken into an account. The length and thickness of the fur vary considerably depending on the temperature. In summer, the only really long fur that remains is on the tail and the tufts in the ears and between the toes. The coat of the Norwegian Forest Cat is so dense that you need a generous amount of shampoo to make sure that the lather gets through the water-repellent guard hairs. The thicker hairs on the back make it almost waterproof. In winter, the undercoat is extremely thick.
Norwegian Forest Cat Personality The Norwegian is affectionate, confident, calm, and has a faithful nature. It loves the outdoors and is an efficient hunter. The "Wegie," as it is sometimes called, is hardy and self-sufficient and, if an outdoors cat, can endure temperatures of Norway's harsh northern climate.
Personality Norwegian Forest Cats love people and they are aggressive when they seek your attention. They do not like to be left alone for any length of time. They are highly intelligent and can be very rewarding companions as they are extremely friendly and playful. They are not your prototype lap cats.
Wegies, as they are sometimes called, clean themselves pretty well but still need weekly brushing and combing. Start combing at an early age. Norwegian Forest Cats get along very well with other cats and some dogs. When well socialized, the Norwegian Forest cat is very friendly and affectionate and is generally good with kids. They love to climb and frolic around the house. Their voice is a quiet meow. Wegies shed heavily in spring. A Norwegian forest Cat may look like a different cat after losing its long hair. Not to worry, it will grow back when the weather cools.
Here are some new photos from tonight after a change of outfits. I really love these......don't you??? xoxo
I am on Jenny Craig because I work there and it is required of us. Well, I did need to lose some weight (not much but enough) and I'm definitely doing great! I have lost almost 10 pounds and almost 7 inches. The pants I am wearing in this photo I have not been able to wear since freshman year of college 5 years ago. They are about 2 sizes smaller than my other pants (which I can barely keep up anymore...annoying but great!).
I am feeling amazing. 10 pound isn't much but I feel healthier and can't wait to lost the rest:-) Soon these pants will be too big!!!
With the contents of one coffee can of pocket change I could buy five of these and have "change" leftover.
Location: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Description: Moving from Saudi Arabia to Canada was quite a change for me as the landscapes are extremely different. This scene captures the beauty of the Vancouver landscape as summer changes to fall.

Within the first second of entering this changing room, I had whipped out my camera and started snapping.
Trying on new clothes had become a secondary priority. :)

An extra CIRES (with a couple of Giant Acroyear stand-in parts) before sale. Needed to collect a couple in order to be able to make a color-matched all-blue AcroJet (photos later). Interestingly, I noticed that each had boxes made of different types of card stock--one thin, the other a thicker, corrugated cardboard.

Posters of the "Change of Era" exhibition are all over town.
In the middle is a slide from the exhibition, of my dearly missed friend, Thierry Kazazian, who initiated the project 2 years ago.
Some of the people in the shots are bystanders, some are my friends with whom I was lucky enough to work with on this project in it's early stages. We came together from all over the world to see the exhibition and honour Thierry's memory.

Hello Fellow Humans,
We here in the heart of Woodstock Ontario had a fantastic Day on 10/10/10, we had over 40 people give their email in support and interest in making our local community a strong sustainable one. We had a Solar Panelled truck powering a 52" tv, large P.A. system with wireless mic, a computer to play documentaries and 350 stuff on throughout the day, and free cell phone charges. We gave away over 25 trees to plant, most of our tables were made out of recycled skids, and we had a demonstration of how to clean up oil naturally with hay. We hope to bring a co-op store and buying group, live music to involve the youth, and regular democracy rallies, because democracy doesn't work just voting and protesting and goin' home. We need to and are going to, have a vibrant cultural resurgence, God willing. Lead the way as you have already gathered many under the hope of autonomous collective moral governance.

I love my Carl Zeiss :) The shallow depth of field allows a small change in focus to completely change the object of focus in the image. Such as these two pondering penguins.

Seen here, NS V20 brings a large cut of stacks west by Yadkin Rd. The train is on it's way to the CWRY in Suffolk, but will turn on the wye in Petersburg to avoid tying up the mainline for a run-around. This is a first time move, as V14/V07 started running to Portlock instead of the CWRY in Suffolk today. I don't expect these moves to last long, as it adds quite a bit of time and work to the trains runs.
