A Silver Duke with Tufted Ears Wears Rose-Pink Velvet
Silver fur, tufted ears and a coat the color of pink roses: the duke has made a very elegant entrance. The Norwegian Forest Cat has a fluffy silver ruff, pale golden eyes and tall, pointed ears with lynx-like tufts at the tips. He wears a rose velvet coat with gold braid and round gold buttons, and a white lace cravat at his throat. Behind him, soft pink drapery and golden scrolls with pale blue sky create a dreamy, quiet space.
His long fur blends into the lace and velvet, so he looks like a very proud cloud. The calm eyes and slight tilt of the head give him a gentle air of authority, and the pink velvet suits his silver coat remarkably well.
Norwegian Forest Cats are large, sturdy cats from Scandinavia, built for cold weather with a thick, water-resistant double coat. They are known to be friendly, calm and good climbers, and many enjoy tall cat trees and a view. Their coat needs regular brushing, especially during seasonal shedding, to prevent mats. They also grow slowly and can take a few years to reach full size, so ask your vet about diet and healthy weight. Give them room to climb, play and explore.
The duke is a gentle ruler, and the only thing he demands is a good brushing and a high place to sit.
