A Fluffy Norwegian Forest Cat Wore His Santa Hat Like a King
A tiny Santa hat sits on the head of the fluffy white Norwegian Forest Cat, and he wears it with the stoic expression of a cat who has seen everything. His thick mane of white fur spills across his chest, his pale green eyes look straight at the camera, and behind him a stone fireplace with a garland and a lit fire adds a warm glow. A rug, a basket and a pair of slippers complete the living room scene.
Norwegian Forest Cats are large, sturdy cats with thick, water-resistant double coats built for cold climates. They are typically gentle, friendly and intelligent, and many love to climb. Their long coats need regular brushing, especially during seasonal shedding, to prevent mats. Fireplaces need a sturdy screen, and a cat bed placed a few feet away from the heat is safer than lying right at the hearth. A holiday hat should be loose, worn for a short time and removed if he seems unhappy.
Let's call him Thor. The little hat looks tiny on such a big cat, which makes it even funnier. He holds still, patient and regal, knowing a treat is coming. The fire crackles behind him, and he looks like the very spirit of a Nordic winter. It's a warm, cozy scene, the kind that makes a winter evening feel complete, and it all starts with a very fluffy cat in a very small hat.
