Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2007Catsitting Nisse
I am looking after a co-worker's cat for 10 days. His name is Nisse and he is 11 years old. His mom said 9 but her daughter Agnes says 11. She is 10 and I think she knows if Nisse is older or younger than her. Nisse is all black and has the most gorgeous fur, short but very thick and very, very soft. He is staying in his own home and I visit him once a day. It is very easy to feed him as he only eats Friskies dry, salmon taste. He is no lap cat, but he headbutts a lot and purrs very much. So now I can send purrs to anyone who needs them, thanks to Nisse. Elisabet Elisabet, Lily sends licks and headbutts to Nisse from the USA. Have a very happy new year.

(I've had plenty of cats that name would be appropriate for, assuming "nuts" has the same secondary meaning of "crazy" that it does in American English.) > I'm curious about his name - since Swedish is a germanic tongue, and > "Nusse" is german for "nut", does > "Nisse" mean the same thing?

Nisse is a common affectionate form of the male name Nils. Nisse can also refer to a fairytale creature, 'tomtenisse,' similar to a leprechaun but usually nicer. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.
