I am not sure what "skin problems" you refer to??
The Norwegian Forest Cat (NFC) is a northern cat and
unlike any other domestic cat.  It is the smartest. It is
genetically social (thus is like a dog in cats clothing--can
be trained, etc). Its hair is like fur and is hypoallergenic 
(spelling??) -- we sell to a lot of folks who are allergic
to cats. My wife, Betty, has asthma, and the NFC is the
only cat she can tolerate (which is a good thing since we
have the biggest NFC cattery in the US, as far as I know).
