Fjord's Odin was my foundation stud, bred from two beautiful Norwegian Forest Cats
who were in South Africa for a short time, before returning to Belgium. Odin's breeder is Yannick Bonafe/Bartholome
and his sire and dam are Naima's Sylvester and Froya de la Pendjari.
Odin was born in Jan 1990, and became the foundation stud for South Africa's Norwegian Forest Cats,
at Furry Boots in Cape Town.
FJORD'S ODIN, black.
Odin became quite a legend in South Africa: The breed was at first feared
by cat fancy officials who had heard that the cats originate in the wilds of
Norway, so assumed them wild cats. It was Odin who proved what wonderful giant teddybear temperaments
they really have. He became the heart-throb of all the judges at the judges' convention in 1993,
and it was voted that the breed would be accepted from Jan 1994 onwards in Soth Africa.
Odin was larger than usual for the breed, weighing 17 lbs at 6 1/2 years old.
His son Loki below, soon became the first titled Norwegian Forest Cat in South Africa.
Grand Champion Loki won several best on show commendations and was on the top 20 list
for best cat in South Africa in 1996.
GRAND CHAMPION FURRY BOOTS LOKI, black with white.
Loki was bred at Furry Boots, a member of the first litter there,
parents being Fjord's Odin, and (Furry Boots) Kyrrekatt Minerva. Loki and
the other Furry Boots studs, put a wonderful temperament into all the lines.
Loki is very chatty - likes anyone going by to say hello, including in the show hall.
If you forget, or walk past without saying Hi, he'll likely yell at you
to come back!
In the above picture, Loki was a strapping teenager of 9 months. Below, he is three and a half years old, and has just moved to America.
