Got Cats? Norwegian/Viking Pets and Domesticated Animals.....Watching The 13th Warrior film by Michael Chrichton (Antonio Banderas) was prompted to search on the domesticated breeds of dogs & cats they had and they had many. Good site, lots of variations by the 10th century vikinganswerlady.com Besides wolf like crosses resembling Siberian huskies & herding breeds later (and ratters), they also had the Nordic SkoggKatt, a very effective rat killer with heavy fur coats, strong claws making them fierce climbers too. They were so sturdy the Viking's supreme Godess Freya was depicted riding a charriot drawn by SkoggKatts. ( no cat will ever match the little Terriers for ratters tho) Norwegian Forest Cats en.wikipedia.org The image of the goddess Freyja in her cat-drawn wagon has been a powerful one since the days of the Vikings. Icelander Snorri Sturluson, in the Gylfaginning section of his Prose Edda tells us Fólkvangr it is called, And there rules Freyja. For the seats in the hall Half of the slain She chooses each day; The other half is Óðinn's. Freyja's hall is Sesrúmnir, and it is large and beautiful. When she goes abroad, she drives in a wagon drawn by two cats. She lends a favorable ear to men who call upon her, and it is from her name that the title has come that noble women are called freyjur ("lady"). Love-poetry she likes well, and it is good to call on her in love affairs
