Olympian Titled Cats in the UK
The Olympian title is the highest distinction a GCCF cat can earn, awarded for exceptional success in the show ring over an extended period. The Olympian title progresses Bronze, Silver, then Gold — each level requiring further certificates from different judges. This section records every Norwegian Forest Cat in the UK to have achieved Olympian status, listed with the most recent first.
