My cats - Diesel and Iella

[rowan]

I have two cats (busy tearing the place up at the moment).

The older one is Diesel, a nine year old moggy with plush, dark brown fur.


The baby is Iella - properly known as GB* Jotunkatts Eucharis. She's a Norweigan Forest Cat, a large and beautiful semi-longhaired breed. Iella is now just shy of 11 months old.

(She's a little strange sometimes)

Aw. And I love the name Iella - where does the name come from do you know? (Might name one of my dolls it too ;D)!!!

Thanks for the kind comments.

Anna: Iella is very good natured. She doesn't spend much time sitting on laps, but she loves to be cuddled and fussed and she generally likes to be around where I am. She's a well-mannered cat and doesn't scratch. She likes to be around people and is usually in the same room that I am.

Susan: Iella is actually the name of a female Intelligence agent in the Star Wars novels. Norwegian Forest cats are nicknamed Weegies. The word 'Weegies' looks rather like the word 'Wedge', which is the name of my favourite character in Star Wars. I didn't want to use his name, as my kitten was female, but Wedge marries Iella. Iella is a pretty name, so I chose that.
So the chain goes: Norwegian, Weegie, Wedge, Iella
