Norse legend tells of the skogkatt, a "mountain-dwelling fairy cat with an ability to climb sheer rock faces that other cats could not manage.” Thanks to their size, coats, and tree-climbing ability, the Norwegian Forest cat may be the real life descendants of the skogkatt described in tales
The skogkatt was beloved by Freya, who is described as traveling in a chariot pulled by them. In tale Thor loses a contest of strength when he tries to lift a skogkatt and fails: though this skogkatt was really Jormungand in disguise!
