Vikings and Kittens




In Viking tradition, when a warrior and a maiden decided to marry, it was common practice for members of the Viking community to give the new bride a kitten or kittens. 
Kittens were often given to new brides as an essential part of setting up a new household. 
It is especially appropriate that brides should receive cats, since cats were associated with the Goddess Freyja.
