Above all it means respecting the great work that has been done in the past by great passionate breeders, trying to safeguard those genealogical lines that risk getting lost, thus impoverishing the genetics of this Magnificent Breed. It means that my cats are first of all my family, companions of life, and it is with this spirit that I undertake to respect all their ethological needs, which are always put first, with respect to human needs. My cats are free to climb, run, play, in large protected enclosures, without over-population, with areas organized in compliance with their ethological needs. I live with my cats all stages of life, from birth, to pregnancy, to old age. If my neutered cats live well together with other fertile cats, they stay with me, otherwise they are entrusted to trusted families who will request them. I use for them the best Natural food, BARF, based on meats for human use prepared by me.

Around 1220, Snorri Sturluson, poet, historian, scholar and narrator of myths and legends, wrote the "EDDA" ("great-grandmother"), a text that describes the Nordic mythology of pagan Scandinavia, in which large sleeping cats are mentioned long in the tales of these two Nordic deities. The first description of this breed dates back to 1599 when a naturalist, the Danish friar Peter Claus Friis, who lived for a long time in Norway, defined three categories of lynx: the wolf-lynx, the fox-lynx and the cat-lynx. last class plausibly indicated the progenitors of our Norwegian Forest cat. The original name in Norwegian is “Norsk Skogkatt”: Norsk -> Norwegian, Skog -> Forest, Katt -> Cat. The work "Norwegian Folk Tales" written by Asbjornsen and Moe was then published in 1835, with which the Norwegian Forest Cat, becomes part of Norwegian literature and culture. In the work “Norwegian folk tales” he is called "Huldrekat" ("huldre" = wood nymph) and described as a wood cat with a large and bushy tail. In the fairy tales that were later handed down to the Brothers Grimm, this cat probably impersonated, with its long-haired culottes and the hind leg covered with undercoat, the well-known "Puss in Boots". In 1912 the Norwegian author Gabriel Scott wrote a very popular children's book called "Sølvfaks" in which the protagonist of the story is a cat of the woods. Around 1930 some Scandinavian breeders took an active interest in this autochthonous feline and started a breeding with the aim of safeguarding the originality of the species, selecting the subjects for their morphology and thick fur, trying to preserve it from mating with cats to short-haired and other genetic contamination. Already since 1940, during the 2nd World War, this type of cat was used by the Danish army with specific functions entrusted to forest cats during postal transport for the protection of precious goods, parcels and dispatches from the systematic destruction of mice. Only in 1965 these cats, considered "postal officers", were deleted from government registers. In 1943, a book entitled "Cats, wild animals and domestic friends" was published in Norway on the breeding of the Norwegian Forest Cat (authors Reidar and Lund), which aroused much interest in the fate of the national cat and in which the bases for the breeding of the Norwegian were treated: In the years that followed, the search for absolutely pure subjects became the goal of enthusiasts who worked hard for the salvation of the breed against the looming danger of extinction caused by the extension of cities and the spread of short-haired cats. The first representatives of this breed appeared on display in 1969 and in 1973 Helene Nordane and Edel Runas of the Norwegian Feline Federation began the first serious selection and breeding program. In 1974, the first parent pair of Norwegian forest cats (the male Pan's Trulls by Else Nylund and the female Pippa Skogpuss by Edel Runas), the progenitors of all pedigreed Norwegian cats, was recorded in the Norwegian Origins Book. In December 1975 enthusiastic breeders of the breed founded the Norsk Skogkattring (Norwegian Forest Cat Club) which was an instant success.The breeding program was difficult for the following years as there were so few officially recognized relatives that a number of crossbreeding between relatives was inevitable. Before the new breed could be recognized by the FIFè (Fédération Internationale Féline), three complete generations had to be authenticated. In April 1977, when there were about 150 Norwegian Forest Cats registered in Norway, FIFe sent a German judge to a show in Oslo. His goal was to make a report on the new breed, to help the FIFè judges' commission decide on its future. In November 1977, Carl-Frederick Nordane traveled to Paris to attend the FIFé general assembly. He brought with him several photos of what would soon become a new breed. The judges recognized in Pan's Truls, brown tabby with white, the standard with which the entire breed would be identified and assigned the standard number 13 NF. This caused a lot of noise in the country of origin where the photo of Truls was broadcast on television announcing that the Norwegian forest cat had been officially recognized. In 1977 this led to official recognition by the International Feline Federation (FIFe), which was followed in 1984 in America by the definition of the standard by breeders belonging to the TICA (The International Cat Association). In 1987 the CFA (Cat Fancier's Association) also registered the first Norwegian Forest Cat. In Italy it was Elena Scorta (Valhalla kennel) who imported the first two Norwegian Forest Cats, Pan's Pallet, Artax and Sirika in 1988 - Below are some photos of cats from the first Italian breeders, Vallhalla , Vikjngs, Freja's Chariot, Silvanesti's, Ice Lanke, Moon Cat's, Sibelius, ...._ cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Photos courtesy of the owners, please ask for permission before using. A great effort was made in recent years to find suitable specimens for breeding that would guarantee a gene pool rich enough to avoid the risks of mating between relatives and this commitment was continued in Scandinavia as well, until 1990, then it was decided to stop the recognition of new subjects coming directly from the woods, the ancestral ones (called "novices"). _d04a07d8- 9cd1-3239-9149-20813d6c673b__d04a07d8-9cd1- 3239-9149-20813d6c673b_Only in 1993 the breed was officially recognized worldwide and the international standard and code definitively formalized. Among the pioneering breeders Else Nylund with her kennel "Pan's" and Randi and Arild Grotterød with their kennel "Torvmyra" deserve a special mention, who contributed substantially to the breed. The reason why these two kennels are particularly remembered is that even today it is almost * impossible to find a cat among the most beautiful of the breed whose pedigree does not have a "Pan's" or "Torvmyra" ancestor in the bloodline. A Special Thanks goes to my dear Norwegian friends, Gunn Inigrid and Roald Pedersens (FRU PEDERSEN'S cattery) for giving me these 3 precious books now nowhere to be found. Home STORA GATTO NORVEGESE
- Test salute gatti norvegesi
La salute dei Gatti Norvegesi non viene lasciata al caso...Siamo seguiti da Veterinari specializzati... 🧬 GARANZIE SANITARIE COMPLETE 2025 Test Genetici + Virali + Respiratori TUTTI NEGATIVI • CERTIFICATI LABORATORIO Our Veterinarians, Specialists and analysis laboratories Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (PK-Def) Pyruvate kinase deficiency (PK-Def for short) is a genetically based disease. Pyruvate kinase is an enzyme found inside red blood cells and controls their ability to produce energy to survive. When the enzyme is deficient, the red blood cells undergo premature destruction (erythrolysis) and this therefore leads to a reduction in their blood number. The resulting anemia is therefore the primary consequence of the deficit. However, the diagnosis of PK-Def on a symptomatic basis can be very difficult: since the cat's body is able to adapt the production of red blood cells in the face of their decrease, anemia can occur occasionally or intermittently. The development of the disease is slow, in most cases, with vague symptoms such as lethargy and loss of appetite. However, there is the possibility that the cat will develop very severe anemia, which could put its survival at risk. PK-Def is a congenital disease with a genetic basis, for which there is no cure and, since anemia is very often mild, the clinical signs may not be immediately obvious and therefore the condition may be underestimated for a long time. There are cases of deaths within two years, but also cases where the life expectancy is long (over 8 years). It is essential for a cat affected by the disease that its living conditions are optimal and that stressful events are avoided as much as possible. The disease is typical of the Abyssinian and Somali breeds, but can be found in breeds that have undergone hybridization with the Abyssinians or Somalis as well as in domestic cats. Genetic profile PK-Def is an autosomal recessive disease. This means that a cat can be defined: normal: does not have any copy of the defective gene, will not become ill with the disease or pass the disease to the offspring carrier: in the pair of alleles that define the disease, there is a defective allele. The cat will never get sick, but it will be able to pass the mutation to the offspring affected: the pair of alleles is composed of two defective chromosomes. The cat will develop the disease and will certainly pass the mutation on to the offspring. In case of mating between two PK-Def carriers, since both parents have a copy of the defective gene, they will be able to pass the mutation to the offspring. Specifically, two carriers will generate 25% of puppies affected by the disease, 50% of carrier puppies and 25% of healthy puppies. In case of mating between a carrier cat and a healthy cat (ie not a carrier of the deficiency), we will have 50% carrier cats and 50% healthy cats. In a mating between two affected cats, 100% of the offspring will be affected. Management on the farm From a breeding point of view, affected cats should not be used for breeding. It is possible to use carrier cats, obviously defining a control and negativization plan of the line, to manage the pathology as much as possible and go towards the eradication of the pathology in the breed. In the Abyssinian and Somali breeding, due to the small number of subjects currently working with, the breeding plans include the conscious use of carriers, because their carpet sterilization would involve serious problems of numerical consistency of the gene pool. In general, what needs to be done when deciding to use a carrier on the farm is to mate it with non-carrier cats, test the litter and prefer to continue working on the line keeping mutation-negative cats on the farm. In this way, the dual objective of "cleaning" the bloodline and, at the same time, of preserving it will be achieved. The UC Davis study As we have already published in the previous article, News on PK-Def in Norwegian Forest Norwegian, un recent study by UC Davis_cc781905-5cde-3194_badica-136b3b the disease is also present in the Norwegian Forest Cat, although at present we do not yet have precise indications on the gene frequency and on the consequent percentages of carriers and affections in the breed. We therefore suggest, in this first phase, to test your cats and to submit the results of the tests to the public databases for collecting the results, to allow a more in-depth study on the spread of the mutation. Where to take the test Since the mutation found in the Norwegian Forest Cat is the same as the one found in the Abyssinians and Somalis for which genetic testing already exists, it is possible to test your cats in different laboratories that are already certified to perform the test. It is possible to perform the test with either a blood sample or a buccal sample. Here is a non-exhaustive list of the laboratories to which you can turn: Genefast (Italy - agreement with Anfi) Vetogene (Italy) UC Davis (USA) Laboklin (Germany) Text taken da http: //www.clubnorvegesi.com/ Type IV Glycogenosis GSD IV (glycogen storage disease type IV) is part of a group of diseases, called glycogenoses. Type IV affects the Norwegian Forest Cat. They are well described pathologies also in humans, classified as rare diseases. In a normal organism, the excess glucose obtained from the diet or from the conversion of proteins and fats is stored in a branched chain of polymers, glycogen, built using the enzyme GBE (glycogen branching enzyme) as a catalyst. When the body needs energy, glucose molecules are removed from the glycogen and released into the bloodstream or used by the tissues. The ability to efficiently add and remove glucose from glycogen depends on the complexity of its branching structure. GSD IV is a hereditary deficiency of the GBE enzyme: affected subjects store an abnormal form of glycogen which, therefore, leads to an insufficient use of glucose. Hence GSD IV can be considered a chronic hypoglycemia that inexorably worsens towards death (because the body is unable to use glucose effectively). In cats, affected kittens die a few hours or days after birth, most likely because they do not have enough glucose to survive delivery and the first hours / days of life. The late form is rarer, for which the puppy is healthy up to 5/7 months and then suddenly shows a stunted growth and widespread weakness, with the following symptoms: high hyperthermia (over 40 °), insensitive to corticosteroids intermittent and generalized tremors that become permanent intermittent, "hiccup" weakness muscle weakness, followed by muscle atrophy, fibrotic contractures of joints that lead to movement and feeding difficulties and that require continuous assistance from the owner quadriplegia Affected cats can survive up to 10/14 months. They die of cardiac arrest, sometimes after coma. The disease is fatal and there is no cure. It is possible that it is confused with neonatal isoerythrolysis because the symptoms can suggest both pathologies. The only thing that can be done is the test (genetic for GSD IV, blood group identification with B allele typing for neonatal isoerythrolysis). Genetic profile The GDS IV mutation is recessive, which implies that the possibility of it expressing itself in the offspring exists only if both parents are carriers of the mutation. There are 3 different possibilities: both parents are healthy (they are homozygous for the normal allele): the children are healthy and will not carry the mutation. if one of the parents is carrier (heterozygous) we will have about 50% carrier and 50% healthy cats among their offspring. When two carriers are mated we get 25% sick cats, 50% carriers and 25% healthy cats. Recall that a carrier cat is a cat that does not have the disease and that will never develop it. However, he will be able to to transmit the mutation to his children. The test A genetic test, on blood or buccal swab, is available to identify not only affected cats but also carriers. Some laboratories that perform this test are: Vetogenic Genefast Antagen Genindexe Laboklin PennGen Each laboratory provides for the sending home, upon request, of the test material (swabs or blood collection tubes), together with the necessary documentation. In some cases it is required, for a correct identification of the cat, that the microchip is applied. Insights FYFE et al.

mostre gatti norvegesi, esposizioni gatti, stress gabbie esposizioni, tratti morfologici, aspetto estetico, patologie gravi, occhi sporgenti, sofferenza animali When "beautiful" means "genetic abuse" GENETIC MALTRACTING The breed standard is that set of specific morphological and behavioral characteristics that a subject - be it a dog, a cat or any other animal - should have in order to be included in a particular breed. Therefore, the standard is a point of reference both for breeders, who should aim to create a good "subject" and always improve it, and for owners who wish to have a dog or cat that meets the "sacred canons" "of the breed object of their desire. However, when selection is pushed to the extreme to privilege some exclusively aesthetic characteristics without looking at functionality and resorting to extreme inbreeding, problems begin to arise and genetic maltreatment takes shape, a much more serious form of maltreatment than simple suffering inflicted on a single animal since, on the contrary, it affects a large number of subjects and can be perpetrated for many generations to come. WHAT FUELS GENETIC MALTRACTING? Obviously, the fault is not only of the breeders, of the judges and associations that push more and more towards extreme hypertypes in which the aesthetic qualities (and functional defects!) Are enhanced to the nth degree, but the responsibility is mostly to be attributed to the market demands and the desires of an increasingly demanding public that in doing so does not look without realizing it to animal welfare, but aims only at the satisfaction of a whim generated by the subliminal messages that arrive from society . History repeats itself and we have all had the opportunity to witness, over time, the boom of this or that breed, perhaps in conjunction with the release of a successful film or, more recently, due to the desire to own a dog or a cat like that of television stars or web influencers who hammer us daily with their images and videos on socials. Fickle, temporary and fleeting fashions with a huge round of money behind them, unfortunately at the expense of animals that, although aesthetically cute and "perfect", pay the price of our superficiality having to live with physical problems that they compromise their quality of life or even their survival. Already in the 60s of the last century , a certain awareness of the importance of the "healthy" over the "beautiful" began to grow within the veterinary world and something, at a European level, is starting to move, albeit slowly and with difficulty. Even in our country something is starting to take shape in this sense, such as the establishment of the Cbv (Bioethical Committee for Veterinary Medicine), in 2018, or the birth of associations such as Asetra (Association of ethological studies and protection of the relationship with animals) . Giovanni Cubeddu, former Professor of Forensic Medicine at the University of Sassari and president of Melefovet (study group of Forensic and Veterinary Forensic Medicine of the Italian Association of Small Animal Veterinarians), and Ferdinando Meregaglia, freelance from Turin and secretary of Melefovet, explained the legal implications of genetic maltreatment, an aspect that is too often overlooked, but which can also have important implications for the veterinarian. The need to satisfy market needs deriving from the rapid request for aesthetically pleasing subjects and respondents to the fashion of the moment inevitably involves the use of a pushed inbreeding, using a few breeding subjects that bring with them both the desired morphological characteristics and even serious problems, an issue that the WSAVA had raised as early as the 1960s.

- Sindrome del gatto volante | gatti norvegesi
perchè i gatti cadono dai balconi? i Veterinari hanno scoperto che ... The cat volante For all those who are convinced that cats do not fall and that if they fall they are not hurt I invite everyone to read these lines, written by a veterinarian. Because it is better to think about it first than to despair later. “Flying cat is, in veterinary jargon, the cat that falls from a high floor: a typical spring patient because, in the first heat, people open the windows and cats fall from the eaves. Yes, I know that I am undermining a fundamental pillar of your cat beliefs, but unfortunately it is: it is not true that cats do not fall and it is not true that if they fall they do not get hurt! In several years of first aid I have seen too many incredulous owners forced to change their minds in tears on an inert body: "But he always started sunbathing on the windowsill ..." NEVER trust the common sense of a cat! It is also true that there are many cats who walk on the railings all their life like tightrope walkers without ever falling: so why do some people fall? Given that the owner hardly ever sees his cat the moment he is falling, and therefore it is impossible to know what happened, I noticed one thing: for a while, I visited the litters of new strays on a glass counter. like those of the haberdashery: the kittens, even solidly resting on the surface, could see the void beneath them. Well, some were clearly terrified of this feeling and backed away to get to safety, others didn't care. Could it be that some cats do not have a sense of emptiness and that this predisposes them to fall? It is only a hypothesis, but I point it out. It is however possible to trace an identikit of the flying cat, on the basis of clinical cases: they are generally young cats, born the year before and therefore are found for the first season to be able to jump on windowsills and railings when the windows they are open, or cats of any age who have moved to a high floor during the winter, or those who have joint or vision problems. The few owners who are present when the cat falls report distractions (the butterfly that passes under its nose just as it is jumping) or errors of assessment (the cat that jumps on the doormat leaning to dry astride the railing) ... The cat falls mostly in the evening or at night, either because it is more active in these hours, or because the owners come back and open the windows only in the evening, and is found at dinner time or, poor thing, the morning after all. breakfast time. The season runs from about April to June, from the first heat to when ... the cats run out, but they are seen throughout the summer, including repeat offenders! Yes, because moreover these mysterious animals do not learn from their mistakes, and I have seen at least two return twice in a fortnight ... But here it also gets a bit of the owner's head, isn't it? What injuries can the flying cat get? The injuries of falls from a height range from an unharmed cat to a dead cat, passing through a whole series of accidents grouped under the English definition "high rise syndrome": fractures of the palate, limbs, back, diaphragmatic ruptures, bladder , lung, etc. A thrilling anthology that I hope you never have to experience. Extensive literature has been spent trying to correlate height and injury, but I have seen cats fall off the same floors and some live and others die: in my experience it is more important what they encounter on the descent, which can alter the flight attitude. and the type of soil they find on the ground. If your cat unfortunately falls from above, always take him to a veterinarian immediately, even if he seems unharmed: certain injuries may not be visible immediately, but only when it is too late ... If, on the other hand, you see him "unsafe" on a ledge, avoid shouting and calling him alarmed, frightening him and pushing him into rash movements: it is better to make a tempting movement of bowls and treats come from inside the house. But a lot can be done in terms of prevention: like some of my clients, without getting to move to the ground floor to prevent cats from falling. I always recommend equipping all windows with mosquito nets, while for balconies and terraces the nylon fishing net is fine, anchored and stretched up to at least two and a half meters high, preferably equipped with a "roof" also with a net . I lived on the fifth floor for several years and I assure you it works. Does it seem excessive to "armor" the balconies for the cat? You see ... with this solution I have always slept soundly (and without insects!). Trust me, it is better to think about it first than to despair later ”.

- Allergia al gatto | gatti ipoallergenici norvegesi delle foreste
"Scopri tutto sull'allergia alla Fel d 1, la proteina della saliva del gatto responsabile delle reazioni allergiche. Approfondimenti, soluzioni naturali e il nostro innovativo progetto per ridurre ancor di più , l' allergene dei Gatti Norvegesi delle Foreste. The Cat Allergy Se stai cercando un gatto che non provochi allergie, un gatto anallergico o ipoallergenico, oppure prodotti per ridurre l’allergia al gatto, voglio prima dirti una cosa importante: "capisco perfettamente cosa stai vivendo" Il desiderio di condividere la vita con un gatto, quando c’è di mezzo un’allergia, può sembrare un sogno impossibile, ma nella maggior parte dei casi non è così. Da oltre 20 anni allevo con amore i miei gatti Norvegesi delle Foreste e ho accolto centinaia di persone allergiche; moltissime di loro pensavano di dover rinunciare per sempre a un compagno felino e invece, con le giuste informazioni e le corrette strategie, hanno scoperto che convivere con un gatto è possibile. Esistono gatti anallergici? La risposta sincera è: non esiste una razza totalmente anallergica. Quello che provoca l’allergia non è il pelo, ma una proteina chiamata Fel d1, prodotta principalmente dalla saliva e dalle ghiandole sebacee del gatto. Quando il gatto si lecca, la proteina si deposita sul mantello e poi si diffonde nell’ambiente. 👉 Alcuni gatti producono molto meno Fel d1 rispetto ad altri. 👉 La produzione di allergene è influenzata da fattori genetici e ormonali. 👉 I maschi interi producono più allergene rispetto ai gatti sterilizzati. Ecco perché si parla più correttamente di gatti a bassa produzione di Fel d1, non di gatti “anallergici”. Quali razze sono considerate ipoallergeniche? Studi condotti su diverse razze hanno evidenziato che in alcune linee genetiche si riscontrano livelli più bassi di Fel d1. Tra le razze più citate: Gatto Siberiano Gatto Norvegese delle Foreste Gatto Abissino Questo non significa che tutti gli esemplari siano adatti a ogni persona allergica. Ogni soggetto allergico reagisce in modo diverso. Per questo il test diretto in presenza è sempre il metodo più affidabile. Come funziona un test allergico in allevamento? Il modo più realistico per capire se puoi convivere con un gatto è semplice: trascorrere almeno un’ora in ambiente chiuso con i gatti adulti. Nel mio allevamento, questo momento è gratuito ed è pensato come un’esperienza serena, non come una prova di coraggio. La maggior parte delle reazioni a Fel d1 si manifesta entro 15–30 minuti. È importante: portare con sé eventuali farmaci (antistaminici, inalatori, colliri) evitare di assumere antistaminici prima della visita (previo parere medico) ripetere la prova in giorni diversi se possibile Questo approccio è molto più attendibile rispetto ai semplici test su campioni di pelo. Perché alcune persone allergiche tollerano certi gatti? L’allergia al gatto può coinvolgere diversi allergeni: Fel d1 (il principale responsabile) Fel d2 (albumina felina) Fel d4 (lipocalina) Alcune persone reagiscono solo a Fel d1, altre a più allergeni contemporaneamente. Chi è allergico a cavalli o conigli, ad esempio, può essere sensibile alle lipocaline. Ecco perché non esiste una risposta universale, ma esiste un percorso personalizzato. È possibile ridurre l’allergene del gatto? Sì. E questa è la parte più importante. Oggi sappiamo che la quantità di Fel d1 nell’ambiente può essere ridotta in modo significativo attraverso: ✔ Sterilizzazione Riduce la produzione ormonale e abbassa i livelli di allergene. ✔ Gestione dell’ambiente Lettiera pulita quotidianamente Sabbie a bassa polverosità e senza profumo Aspirapolvere con filtro HEPA Aerazione frequente degli ambienti ✔ Cura del mantello Passare un panno umido sul pelo Bagno periodico (se il gatto lo tollera) Utilizzo di prodotti specifici come Allerpet ✔ Alimentazione mirata Esistono oggi protocolli alimentari specifici in grado di ridurre dal 30% al 50% la produzione di Fel d1 nel gatto. Se stai cercando prodotti per ridurre l’allergia al gatto, oppure soluzioni naturali e nutrizionali per abbassare l’allergene, puoi contattarmi per ricevere informazioni aggiornate. Esiste un vaccino per l’allergia al gatto? L’immunoterapia specifica (comunemente chiamata “vaccino antiallergico”) è una terapia medica prescritta dall’allergologo, che può aiutare il sistema immunitario a tollerare l’allergene nel tempo. È sempre fondamentale confrontarsi con uno specialista prima di prendere decisioni. E ora.... Se sei arrivato fin qui, probabilmente ami profondamente i gatti. E forse ti sei sentito dire che “non puoi averne uno”. La verità è che ogni situazione è diversa. Con informazioni corrette, test fatti seriamente e strategie personalizzate, moltissime persone allergiche oggi vivono felicemente con il proprio gatto. Non sei solo. E non devi rinunciare al tuo sogno senza aver esplorato tutte le possibilità. 📌 Se vuoi ricevere aggiornamenti su: gatti a bassa produzione di allergene percorsi alimentari per ridurre Fel d1 test allergici in allevamento soluzioni pratiche per convivere con un gatto nonostante l’allergia... 👉👉👉 contattami direttamente.

- il pesce nell' alimentazione barf del gatto
il pasce crudo o cotto nell alimentazione del gatto Fish in the cat's diet THE FISH IN THE BARF Fish offers the cat an important supply of Omega3, essential fatty acids. In fish, Omega3s are in the form of EPA and DHA, which are immediately bioavailable for the body It is advisable to feed fish in a percentage equal to 5% of the ration. With fish not containing thiaminase, it can reach 10% (more on this later). The fish can be fed whole, with bones, head, skin and viscera. It is absolutely essential to freeze before administration, in order to kill the parasite Anisakis (a nematode. In short, a worm!) Possibly present. It is not uncommon for fish to have this parasite, so freeze! _Cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ It is necessary to freeze for at least 96 hours. For fish purchased already frozen (for example the classic cod fillets) obviously it is considered that the procedure has already been extensively carried out! What does 5% mean in practice? It means 5% of the diet, whether calculated daily, weekly, monthly or otherwise. Practical example: A cat (about 6 kg) that eats 160 grams of total food per day, weekly this will eat 1120 grams of food (160 x 7). 5% of 1120 is 56. So this cat will eat 56 grams of fish per week. They may also be offered 110 gr of fish every 2 weeks for example. Of course we are not goldsmiths and the percentages are general indications. The important thing is to understand that you shouldn't go too far. Surely we must not exceed 10% of the total. Thiaminase Thiaminase is an enzyme that breaks down thiamine. Thiamine is vitamin B1. Thiaminase essentially inactivates vitamin B1. Therefore, the administration of foods containing thiaminase can lead to a deficiency of vitamin B1, if the recommended quantity is exceeded. Many freshwater and saltwater fish contain thiaminase, however not all. However, it is not easy to draw up a detailed list, since there are hundreds and hundreds of fish species in existence… and not all of us are experts in fish and the fish also change in common name from area to area. Here are some lists found: 1) Taken from "Mink breeding and diseases" published by the Foundation for zooprophylactic and zootechnical initiatives Fish containing thiamiasis: - Anchovies -Agueglie - Bleak -Anchovies - Alose -Herring -Barbi -European bass -Carps and Cyprinids -Cavedani -Coregoni -Lasche -Murene -Pagels -Persico trout -Catfish - White freshwater fish -Blue saltwater fish (rafts, sardines, mullets) -Stingray -Rombi -Red rudds -Scorpionfish - Mackerel 2) Taken from Thiaminase and its role in predatory pet fish (and other piscivores) nutrition http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/volume_6/volume_6_1/thiaminase.htm Fishes NOT containing tiaminasi (I report some of them. Others seem hardly present in Italy, such as North American sunfish for example !!): - Zander (Sander lucioperca) - Lake char (Salvelinus namaycush) - Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Pike (Esox lucius) - Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) --Silver salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) - Salmon trout (Salmo trutta) -Anguilla (Anguilla anguilla) -Platess (Pleuronectes platessa) - Cod (Gadus morhua) -Ricciola (Seriola dumerilii) -Spinarolo (Squalus acanthias)
- leggende gatti norvegesi
leggende gatti norvegesi delle foreste The True * Origin of the Norwegian Forest Cat Written by Laura Achenza Traveler, whoever you are, you have come here to hear our story, and I ask the wind to let me tell ... *** At the beginning of time Odin, the Exalted, the father of all, created the whole universe and divided it into nine worlds so that every creature would find its place in it; in fact, their forms were many: giants of the mountains and Thursi of the frost, dwarves incomparable master craftsmen, dark elves blacker than pitch and elves of light more beautiful than the sun; Man was entrusted with Midgard, the middle earth, while the luminous gods, the ASI, lived in the stronghold of Asgard and there, from their magnificent thrones, still today observe and rule all the worlds…. Two crows are faithful companions of Odin who every day, at dawn, fly into the worlds and in the evening, at sunset, return, bringing back to their Lord everything that happens there. One day they reported to Odin that the Men of the Northlands were sad and lonely in the long winter night, in which darkness and cold reign supreme. All the ASI were then summoned to the council and each of them proposed to give men their own prodigy: Odin his horse Sleipnir who knows no fatigue and rides in the air, on land and on water; Thor his precious hammer to break the ice; Sif its long and luminous hair to dispel the darkness; Freyr his magical vessel, which always has favorable winds as soon as the sail is raised, and .... Freyja offered her cats .... The ASI Assembly established that, although all of them were prodigious gifts, the one that could truly warm both the body and the heart of the northerners were ... the cats of Freyja. _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d _ *** Freyja will therefore have to part with the beloved company of her cats, but she, the goddess of love, knows that there is no better way to spread it around the world! He then decides, for the greater comfort of men and his own cats, to give them an additional magical banner: the sound of Love and Peace that will resound, in Midgard, every time a cat decides to purr .... and Freyja, every time, will be there to listen to him ... In return, however, he asks that his cats spread to every corner of the world, so that everyone can enjoy their magical presence. Therefore the ASI decide that Freyr's vessel will also be given as a gift so that the men of the North can sail everywhere and bring, in honor of the generous gods, Freyja's cats throughout Midgard . _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d _ *** At the winter solstice, in the darkest night of the year, the vessel was laid down in a long fjord sheltered from the winds, which will therefore take the name of Sognefjord, the fjord of the dream, and Freyja accompanied her cats to the edge of the forest which stood near a village on a clearing; from that day, his cats belonged to the Norwegian forests and the world of men. Men honored the ancient pact with the Gods, and for centuries they carried the mighty creatures on their ships to every known or hitherto unknown land ... Other Men came and, renewing the covenant, they wanted to give recognition to the race which they called, in memory of their first home on earth, Cats of the Norwegian forests. In their homage they still bear these names proudly today: Vikjngs, Disir Nornir, Freya's Chariot, Of the Ancient Runes, Yggdrassil, Aesir, Lifthasir, Drakkar, ASI e Vanir, Asgard, Vanaheim, Niflheim, Alfheim, Svartalfheim, Midgotheim, Midgardheim Odino, Thorr, Freyja, Bestla, Vidharr, Verdandi, Vali, Var. _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d _ *** Now my story has come to an end, but I want to reveal to you one last arcane secret: when your Norwegian cat stops enraptured, and his gaze seems to be playing with the air, know that he is in front of Freyja and for a moment, once again, together, they wander through the nine worlds… ..and you too, if your bond with him is intense, you will be able to see them in the distance. Therefore, remember to love and honor Freyja's gift forever ... Note I drew inspiration from historical texts and literary sources of Norse mythology, but I would like to clarify that the story is pure fantasy, and wants to celebrate and cloak these cats that I love immensely with noble origins. It is therefore a tribute to them and to all fans of this splendid breed.

- Esposizioni | gatti norvegesi
Esposizioni, show, mostre, carriere espositive... Perché nel mio allevamento non partecipiamo alle esposizioni Le esposizioni feline rappresentano momenti importanti per molti allevatori: permettono di condividere la passione, confrontarsi con altri appassionati e valorizzare le caratteristiche della razza. Nel mio allevamento, ho scelto invece un percorso differente, guidato dal principio dell’allevamento etico e dalla consapevolezza dell’antropocentrismo. Questo concetto ci ricorda quanto spesso le decisioni vengano valutate secondo il metro umano, dando più peso a immagini, standard e risultati visibili rispetto ai reali bisogni dei gatti. La mia priorità è garantire il benessere quotidiano dei Norvegesi delle Foreste, permettendo loro di vivere serenamente, esprimere i comportamenti naturali e crescere in un ambiente stimolante, sicuro e tranquillo. Per me, un Norvegese delle Foreste è davvero bello quando è sereno, equilibrato e felice, non quando è stressato, strapazzato o esposto a stimoli innaturali. La bellezza non è solo estetica, ma il riflesso di un benessere reale: occhi vivaci e atteggiamenti armoniosi nascono da libertà, cura e rispetto dei bisogni del gatto. Non si tratta di giudicare chi partecipa alle esposizioni. È una scelta personale, legittima e rispettabile I rischi della corsa alla perfezione Negli allevamenti e nelle esposizioni si crea spesso un circolo vizioso: la bellezza premia l’estremo, e l’estremo mette a rischio il benessere. Lo abbiamo già visto nei , nei cani e gatti brachicefali come i Persiani. È come una scala che si alza gradino dopo gradino: ogni piccolo miglioramento estetico viene applaudito, ogni tratto accentuato diventa desiderabile e chi si ferma rischia di restare indietro. Allevatori e giudici, pur amando sinceramente i gatti, iniziano a valutarli secondo i criteri umani di perfezione, non secondo i loro bisogni reali. Il gatto diventa un “progetto estetico” una figura geometrica a cui assomigliare In questo modo, la competizione e l’ossessione per l’aspetto generano sofferenza invisibile: premi e lodi rinforzano comportamenti e scelte che stressano l’animale, fino a trasformare un gatto naturalmente bello in un essere sofferente, pur senza cattive intenzioni.
- Musica RELAX per Gatti | gatti norvegesi
Musica rilassante per i gatti. Questa è musica composta appositamente per i gatti ed è stata verificata per essere efficace da due studi universitari separati... RELAXING MUSIC FOR OUR CATS by MusicforCats Album One This is music composed specifically for cats and has been verified to be effective by two separate university studies. At first glance, the idea of cat music makes reasonable people think "whaaa?", But this is true. This song is taken from the first full album of species-specific music that was created using a process that has been tested and verified by independent scientists (University of Wisconsin-Madison and Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine). The release of the album further promotes our goal of providing enrichment for animals based on the unique perception, communication and development of each species. This music was designed from the ground up to appeal to cat sensitivity, just like human music is designed to appeal to humans. If we want to connect with our cats through sound in a meaningful way, shouldn't we try to hear the world as they hear it? Brain development and cat vocalizations are the foundation of this music, making it a new and unique form of communication and environmental enrichment that can improve the relationship between you and your feline companion.

- Come congelare carne e pesce nella dieta barf
Carne cruda per gatti: guida BARF completa ai tempi di congelamento di pollo, manzo, pesce e altri alimenti per ridurre rischi parassiti e virus." TUTTI I TESTI SONO DI PROPRIETA' DI KARIN PEDRONA -E' VIETATA L ' INTERA O PARZIALE RIPRODUZIONE DEI TESTI Natural Power La qualità inizia dal banco! 🥩 L' Acquisto Il congelamento serve soprattutto per ridurre il rischio parassitario, ma la carica batterica della carne dipende da quanto è fresca al momento dell’acquisto. Una carne appena arrivata al macellaio o al supermercato avrà meno proliferazione batterica rispetto a una che è rimasta diversi giorni nel banco o in cella frigorifera. Puoi prenotare la carne in anticipo dal tuo macellaio di fiducia o chiedere in quali giorni arrivano le nuove forniture al supermercato: così sei sicuro di congelare un prodotto con carica batterica più bassa. Ricorda: più fresca è la carne al momento del congelamento, più sicura sarà al momento della somministrazione al gatto. 👉 Non basta solo congelare: la scelta della materia prima è il primo passo verso una dieta cruda sana e sicura. ⚠️ Congelare non è sterilizzare Il congelamento non è una sterilizzazione: non elimina batteri come Salmonella o Listeria, e non è affidabile contro virus. Serve soprattutto per ridurre i parassiti (Toxoplasma, Anisakis, Sarcocystis) e fermare la carica batterica al punto in cui la troviamo al momento del congelamento Va detto in onestà che i gatti sono MOLTO più resistenti di noi ai batteri enterici, grazie all’acidità gastrica molto più forte e a un transito intestinale rapido, inoltre le patologie causate da Cryptosporidium, Sarcocystis e Toxoplasma sono molto rare. Per questo quando si fa dieta barf o si da carne cruda è sconsigliato l' utilizzo concomitante della crocchetta che rallenta il transito 📩 per sapere come fare una dieta BARF sicura ed equilibrata - Scrivimi a Karin@barfcoach.it ⏱️ Tempi di congelamento 👉 Regola generale (uso domestico): Il congelamento riduce i parassiti solo se la temperatura arriva a cuore del pezzo. I tagli più spessi richiedono più tempo. Per prudenza: imposta il freezer che scenda a –20 °C o mantieni i tempi più lunghi. Così il rischio si riduce al minimo e il tuo gatto può godere del crudo in sicurezza. 🐔 Pollo/Tacchino → –20 °C · 72–96 h 🐇 Coniglio → –20 °C · 72–96 h 🐮 Manzo → –20 °C · 96–120 h 🐑 Pecora/Agnello → –20 °C · 96–120 h (fino a 144 h se tagli spessi) 🐐 Capra → –20 °C · 96–120 h 🐟 Pesce (acqua salata) → –20 °C · 48–96 h (UE: 24 h a –20 °C o 15 h a –35 °C) 💧 Pesce (acqua dolce) → –20 °C · 7 giorni 🦑 Cefalopodi → –20 °C · 48–96 h 🦐 Crostacei → –20 °C · 48–96 h 🦪 Molluschi bivalvi → 🚫 solo cotti 🐷 Suino/Cinghiale → 🚫 solo cotti Nel Dettaglio: Pollame e Coniglio → Toxoplasma gondii Pollame e coniglio possono ospitare cisti di Toxoplasma gondii. Studi indicano che il congelamento a –12 °C per 2–3 giorni o a –20 °C per 2–4 giorni inattiva gran parte delle cisti (Alizadeh et al., 2018; Gracia et al., 2022). Per uso casalingo si consiglia prudenzialmente: –20 °C per 72–96 h. Manzo → Sarcocystis spp. e Toxoplasma Oltre a Toxoplasma, il manzo può ospitare Sarcocystis spp., parassita intracellulare più resistente. Studi recenti su ovini (Peris et al., 2024) raccomandano –20 °C per 96–144 h per eliminare le cisti. Raccomandazione pratica: –20 °C per 96–120 h. Pesci → Anisakis e altri Pesci d’acqua salata: rischio Anisakis. La normativa UE (Reg. 1276/2011) impone: –20 °C ≥24 h o –35 °C ≥15 h. In casa, meglio 48–96 h per compensare le performance ridotte dei freezer domestici. Pesci d’acqua dolce: rischio Opistorchis, Clonorchis, Diphyllobothrium. Richiedono tempi più lunghi: –20 °C per 7 giorni. Cefalopodi (seppie, calamari, polpi) Parassita principale: Anisakis. Stesse regole dei pesci: –20 °C per 48–96 h. Crostacei (gamberi, scampi, aragoste, granchi) Rischio parassitario basso, ma possibili contaminazioni da Anisakis e batteri marini (Vibrio, Listeria). Congelamento riduce il rischio parassitario, non elimina batteri. Raccomandazione: trattare come pesce → –20 °C per 48–96 h. Molluschi bivalvi (cozze, vongole, ostriche) Il rischio maggiore non sono i parassiti, ma virus e batteri accumulati per filtrazione: Vibrio, Norovirus, virus dell’epatite A. Congelamento NON li inattiva. Per l’uomo i bivalvi crudi sono un rischio documentato; per il gatto non ci sono prove solide, ma studi hanno trovato norovirus felini (FNoV) associati a diarrea nei gatti (Martella et al., 2015; Sumiyoshi et al., 2025). Vibrio è stato isolato anche in infezioni da ferita da morso di gatto, segno che il batterio può colonizzare i felini, pur senza prove forti di trasmissione alimentare. Raccomandazione: mai bivalvi crudi al gatto. Solo cotti o da fonti certificate. Suino e cinghiale → divieto assoluto Virus di Aujeszky (pseudorabbia) → sempre fatale per gatti e cani. Congelamento non è misura affidabile: il virus può resistere settimane. Regola: mai carne suina/cinghiale cruda. ✅ SALVA LE SLIDE per avere a portata di mano la tabella dei congelamenti Aiutami a continuare la mia opera di diffusione gratuita , regalami un like e un seguimi sui social!
