Yowie

Yowie is a stunning purebred Norwegian Forest girl with loads of personality. She's very affectionate and loves snuggling wherever her humans are hanging out.

The name Yowie has been said to mean Dream Spirit and Free Will, both of which perfectly describes her personality. She’s confident and content to be by herself but also enjoys human company without being clingy. Like most cats, Yowie can be stubborn at times and expects things to be done her way.

Having reached maturity for her breed, Yowie is calm and confident while still enjoying playing and is entertaining to watch with some of her antics.

Yowie has been raised as an indoor only cat with access to a small enclosed garden where she loves exploring to find the best place to nap. She's lived with other cats but prefers not to share her humans so needs be an only cat. She tolerates dogs who understand that she's Queen and superior. She's not keen on noisy young children.

Please note Yowie is being re-homed due to her owners being unexpectedly transferred and they are unable to take her with them. She's been very loved and cared for by her owners, who are upset about having to find her a new home. Yowie will come with all her own things when she moves - scratch post, litter tray, carrier, bowls/plates plus a selection of food and litter to get her settled.

Below is some information about the Norwegian Forest Cat to help you better understand their character and traits.

The gentle and friendly Norwegian Forest Cat—Wegie, for short—is fond of family members but does not demand constant attention and petting. Satisfied to be in the same room with people and will entertain themself if no one is home.

Although they appreciates human company, they can be a bit reserved with visitors. Even with family, they're not much of a lap cat, but a nice scritch between the ears or beneath the chin is always welcome, which is often reciprocated with a nice head butt or cheek rub. They communicate with classic Scandinavian restraint, only using their quiet voice when they need something—dinner on time, perhaps—and rise only if ignored.

This athletic cat is a climber so you will often find them at the highest point they can reach in the home. Unlike some cats, they have no qualms about descending trees or other heights headfirst.

Thanks to their heritage as a wilderness and farm cat, not to mention a waterproof coat, the Wegie thinks nothing of fishing in a body of water for a nice meal. Aquarium and koi pond denizens, beware! While they love the outdoors, they're content to live quietly in a home.

This is a smart, independent cat who learns quickly and has an alert nature.
