Longhaired, graceful and blue-eyed, they completed my life for several years. But then one day, I set eyes on a magnificently beautiful breed in a cat encyclopaedia, the Norwegian Forest Cat. Searching the Internet, I came across a breeder who was about to import the first of these cats to Australia. Her kind agreement to let me buy one of her first kittens marked the beginning of a new phase of life for me, and I have never looked back. After many tiny white Birman kittens, I was thrilled and excited by the wonderful colours of my first NFC litters, and registered my cattery prefix as 'Borealis', reflecting the rainbow colours of the Aurora Borealis, witnessed at its best in Norway, original home of my chosen breed. Come, share with me the beauty of these lovely cats.....and to read a bit about Borealis Cats history, please click here Loraine Smith Disclaimer: this website is designed to be a guide for those who are looking to own a Norwegian Forest Cat, hopefully one of ours!.

 These are no domestic tabbies, feral cats or farm cats run wild, they're Britain's last wild feline and infamous amongst experts for being the wildest of all wild animals; an untameable and deadly predator capable of surviving the harshest of winters in the Scottish Highlands. Today, after centuries of persecution, deforestation and competition from introduced species there are less than 400 Scottish wildcats left in the world and extinction could be as little as ten years away. Last of the Scottish Wildcats is only the second film ever to document a cat in the wild that even many Scots believe to be no more than a myth. It is the first to fully investigate the threats facing the cat's future and the solutions proposed to protect it through detailed interviews with a range of stakeholders and several leading experts, providing a complete picture of Britain's last native feline. CoffeeFilms pledge to donate 50% of all their profits from the sale of this DVD to the Scottish Wildcat Association, the only charity dedicated to conserving the Scottish wildcat...
