About

Welcome

Welcome to our website. We are a small cattery, located in Bodø, Norway.

We are now planning our first peterbald litter!


Our family consists of two adults and four cats; two peterbalds, one siamese and one oriental shorthair. 



Peterbald coat types:


  • Bald. Bald cats are born completely without hair and are somewhat sticky to the touch.
  • Flock. Flock cats are 70-90% hairless and will have a coat of up to 1 mm in length. There is some resistance if you brush them the wrong way.
  • Brush Coat. Brush Coat cats have a short coat with wiry hair up to 5 mm long. Brush Coated cats have only one copy of the hair loss gene. The coat feels like a felt and can be pet in either direction. This coat type is unique to the Peterbald — no other breed of cat has a brush coat.
  • Straight Coat. Straight Coat cats have a short coat with normal whiskers. They have no copies of the hair loss gene.
