A Norwegian Forest Cat can have almost any colour. Some of them are without
any white, some are pure white and others have any amount of white in the
coat.
We use a standard with codes, EMS code, to describe the colour and pattern
for a cat. The code for Norwegian Forest Cat is NFO (Norwegian FOrest). Then
there is one or more letters for the colour and ev a code for the pattern.
Let's take a look at the EMS code.
The codes for
golden and silver are always represented together with another colour code..
NFO ns means black smoke NFO. (Smoke is a silver
cat with no pattern)
NFO nts means amber smoke NFO
You
can use the code 21 (agouti) if you can't decide the pattern for a cat.
The code 21 is also used for tabby with the white patterns van respective
harlequin, regardless if you can decide the tabby pattern or not.
The Norwegian Forest C ats are devided into different colour groups when
we show them at exhibitions.
