At Dusk, a Big Fluffy Cat Started Walking Across the Lawn. He Wasn't Alone.

Dusk has settled over a little farmhouse, its windows glowing with lamplight, and a parade is making its way across the lawn. At the front strides a big brown tabby Norwegian Forest Cat, plumed tail held high, paws stepping carefully between daisies and purple clover. Close behind, five yellow chicks march along in a loose line, little orange legs working hard to keep pace. The cat's amber eyes look straight ahead with steady purpose, like a tour guide who knows the route by heart. Tiny white flowers dot the grass all around, and a blue door waits in the background.

Norwegian Forest Cats are a large, sturdy breed with a thick, water-resistant double coat that developed for cold northern winters. They often have tufted ears, a full ruff around the neck, and a long, bushy tail. Owners frequently describe them as friendly, calm, and fond of climbing, so tall cat trees and sturdy shelves tend to be a hit. Their coat sheds heavily in spring, and regular brushing helps prevent mats and reduces hairballs. Like many cats, they can have a strong hunting drive, which is why small birds and cats are best kept apart in everyday life, no matter how gentle the cat seems.

Tonight, though, the Forest Cat seems to have taken on a far gentler job. If anyone ever needed an escort home through the flowers, this would be the one to call.
