Brussels

We have a Norwegian forest cat whose name is Jacques. He has beautiful long fur that he changes in summertime. This is why he must be combed every day during summertime. Besides, and because of his double coat, Jacques does not stand hot weather very well. In hot days he must be given water cooled in the fridge. When temperatures reach beyond 30/33 he must cool down in front of the ventilator. He is very calm and very social.
