Norwegian Forest cat info

I saw a recent post on Reddit showing a beautiful cat.  I - and others - think it may be a Norwegian Forest cat, similar to Rascal.   This cat's fur is longer than Rascal's fur.  Apparently Norwegian Forest cats are a much more common breed in Europe, so I suppose some of them can have longer fur than Rascal.

Here is a YouTube instructional video about Norwegian Forest cats.  While the video says Norwegian Forest cats tend not to bite or scratch you, when Rascal doesn't want to be petted, he can try to bite or scratch me.  As Norwegian Forest cats are not lap cats, Rascal usually only sits on my lap when he wants to be petted.  When I stop petting him he will then leave my lap.  Sometimes - like right now as I type this - he will lay and sleep on my lap.
