There's no cow on the ice
Been quite busy lately, because I got myself a new kitten around 2 months ago! Supposedly a cross between Ragdoll, and Norwegian Forest cat. It took her one or two weeks to not be so scared of Blomma, Blomma on the other hand liked her from the start (except when Fröjdis does things like trying to use Blomma as a trampoline).
Cilla the old moggy hated the sight of Fröjdis when she arrived, and she still doesn't like her. But at least she no longer growls as if she wants to rip Fröjdis apart as soon as she sees her. We've separated the house into 2 parts, by putting up a homemade net door so that they can see each other if they happen to be at that door opening at the same time, but so that Cilla still gets to spend most of her time in peace away from Fröjdis.
Anyhow, I chose the name Fröjdis because it comes from Frej/Frö (Freyr or Frey in English) the Norse God of Peace (and fertility + some other things, but it was the peace part I liked), and the ending dis in this context stands for Goddess. Fröjd is also a Swedish word which means A higher degree of joy. So basically, I hoped she would bring peace, and joy to my life, and this far she's definitely delivered on the joy part.
By the way, as you will see in the photos, she sometimes likes to jump up, and lie on top of one of my Ficus Benjamina (Weeping Fig?), so I've had to hang a towel on top of it to stop her from gnawing on the plant to entertain herself.
If my HHO Secret Santa sees this, this last photo here below is so far my absolute favourite photo of Fröjdis (wish I could crop out the electricity related thingy on the wall below my veterinarian's computer table, but my phone have refused to cooperate with doing such things lately):
