How to tell if a cat is a Norwegian Forest Cat cross?

I was wondering if my moggie might be a Norwegian Forest Cat cross. He’s got semi-long hair, tabby but with a bluish tint, and he has huge tufts of fur under his paws and long white tufts coming out of his ears! I also wanted to know if semi-longhaired moggies can have tufts like that under their paws? Cheers!

    A cat without pedigree papers can also be called a "type" (that’s the term the vets used for mine, who is the spitting image of a Norwegian Forest Cat. He was examined by a vet and they told me he was definitely a Norwegian, but as he doesn’t have any papers, he’s a "Norwegian type"). So there you go! 🤗

    Well, aren’t you a ray of sunshine. I don’t see why he wouldn’t be a Norwegian Forest Cat – are you a breeder to be judging that? I’ve got a little girl myself; her mum is a Norwegian and her dad is a moggie. Do you really think cats have that kind of mindset, like “I’m a Norwegian and he’s just a moggie, so we aren’t going to mate”? What a load of rubbish.

    Alicia: I’ve had a look at the photo of your kitty... she’s a lovely moggie....

    A purebred cat has a pedigree.

    A Norwegian Forest Cat is a pedigree breed, so it must have a pedigree.

    No pedigree = a moggy.

    If your cat isn't pedigree (GCCF), then it’s a moggy.

    Ok thanks for the reply, I was just wondering because he looks exactly like a Norwegian Forest cat, that’s why I was curious ;-)
