So, if I ever get married, I fully expect a catmobile. One of the other reasons why they gave cats to each other was for their valuable skills as mousers. Cats were able to control rodent populations around their properties. Also, Norse myths are thought to have the earliest literary descriptions of the Norwegian Forest Cat. They were described as large, strong cats that drew Freya’s chariot and were so heavy that not even Thor, God of Thunder, could lift them from the floor. (Source) They kinda live up to the legend, too. Your average Norwegian Forest Cat is twenty pounds of solid muscle, with claws large and strong enough to climb solid rock. They’ve been known to attack bears when defending their territory. And yet they’re one of the cuddliest breeds out there, particularly noted for being patient with small children. I have a Norwegian mix, and can attest that she is the cuddliest cat but also insane enough to try and fight a bear. Viking cats “FIGHT ME” Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, still could not lift this cat. I always love it when this post comes round because a) giant kitties who Thor can’t lift and b) that picture omg boar riding and flower throwing is a good thing Thor: *chillaxin*this fuckin cat: *comes upThor: nothe cat: *climbs ontop of himThor: Nocat: *curls up and napsThor, frantically trying to get up from underneath the cat: nOOOOO Id like to believe that Thor could actually lift them but wanted and excuse to either skip family meetings or not move the cat so started the rumour that he couldn’t lift them.Odin: Thor we need to discuss your excessive drinkingThor: Oof hard luck, I would really like to but I can’t make it one of Freya’s cat’s is on me I can’t move. Can we reschedule for once it has left?*bribes cat with food to stay longer* -- source link
