TORMODKOT CATTERY....
Home  of Norwegian and Siberian Forest Cats
(Registered with CFA...) Cattery #: 211508

Tormod= Thor's Mind...Bright Ones...Beautiful Ones

Here you will find Norwegian and Siberian Kittens with
wonderful dispositions and beautiful colors.


We have Royal Vikings's Ben, who is a Blue Smoke Tabby with White...as our beautiful male.
Ben comes from pedigrees with strong heads, heavy boning and lovely coats.  In the winter,
the coats are bountiful and warm with a large ruff.  In the summer the outermost coat
disappears and the cat appears to be one with short hair.  These cats, then, are classified as
semi-long haired cats.  The present day Norwegian bears little resemblance to the original
forest cats which are said to have roamed the fields and forests...and reportedly lived with the
Vikings. They are, however, being monitored closely to retain the strength and hardiness which
those cats undoubtedly had.

Ben and Mystic Angel produce large, strong kittens which are shown on the Norwegian Page
of this web site.  They are usually black smoke, black and white, and tabby with white. The
Norwegian as compared to the Siberian is a little larger, generally.  They have triangular shape
to their heads with large, slightly slanted eyes which give them an intense, strong look.  They
are fantastic pets of a very gentle nature.

From Moscow, Russia,  Iz Odissei Cattery has sent European Grand Champion Odysseus, a
gorgeous flame point male who has produced absolutely wonderful kittens which are all over
the world. They are in Europe in many countries as well as in the United States. Odysseus and
his son, Bo...along with a beautiful, young male from St. Petersburg, Russia and Rossity
Cattery, Boris who is a black/shaded silver boy with gold!  

The Siberian is distinguished from the Norwegian in that one's vision is of circles, rather than
triangles.  The eyes are large and shaped like lemons on their sides.  Siberian bodies are more
compact...as opposed to the longer length of Norwegians.

My life was spent teaching and counseling, both in Private School and Public Schools and
developing a private Behavioral Guidance Clinic for children and their families. To be able to
spend my retirement years with these amazingly affectionate cats is an experience which I
treasure.  They can mystify you with their decision-making skills as you watch them play with
their parents and siblings.  There is an order and communication which is clear and
'simple'...The only surprises one seems to have is when they do something which they haven't
done before which, once again, is amazing...

If you have questions and considerations which you would like to discuss with me...please
send me an E-Mail (barbart333@aol.com) and I will be happy to respond.

Enjoy the web site.  Photographing is my great love and I am happy to share many special
photos here.
