We are Carla, Paulo, Joana and Diogo. We love our cats, they are really part of the family. The way they keep a person company is one of the most important things in our lives.

Sasha's death left a hole to be fulfilled, but Joana was about to born so I didn't want to think in another cat. With time, this hole became bigger and bigger. That was when I discovered this wonderful breed - the norwegian forest cat - in the internet.

With a child at home, one of our major concerns was the cat's temper and from all the breeds we were told about this was the chosen one. After several contacts with breeders, one of them sent me a photo of a beautiful white cat, with a lot of fur, a truly snow ball: Aiko.

As someone said to me one day: after you get the first, you just can stop having more!

Now we live in Mafra, there is plenty of space for our children and our four-legged "kids", and where all play safely.
