Ocicat Classic & Ocicat Queens at Thor’s Oak

Meet our Ocicat Queens

From France

Ocicat Land Rindr (Rindr)

We thank Denis Lepres of Ocicat Land, for allowing us to have this lovely girl.

Rindr finally arrived at Thor’s Oak in April 2021, at 6 months old. Her arrival was delayed by the twins, COVID and Brexit.

A Chocolate addition to Thorsoak.

Rindr is a slightly shy girl, but a wonderful mother.

Rindr’s namesake is a Jotun or maybe a Princess of the East.

She was made pregnant by Odin and bore Vali who avenged Baldr’s killing. Rindr is the personification of the hard, frozen rind of the Earth.

The original snow queen?

Beyla is named after Beyla (Old Norse: [ˈbœylɑ]) is one of Freyja’s servants along with her husband, Byggvir, in Norse mythology. Beyla is mentioned in stanzas 55, and 66, and the prose introduction to the Poetic Edda poem Lokasenna. Since this is the only mention of Beyla, scholars have turned to the etymology of Beyla’s name for additional information about her.[ However, the meaning of her name is unclear and her name has been proposed as related to “cow,” “bean,” or “bee.”  
 

 

On 22/04/2022 Beyla presented us with a litter of 6 kittens, 1 of which was a beautiful market Ocicat classic who we named Thorsoak Magni-Biornsson.

We hope that Magni will, as they say, “sire many strong sons and beautiful daughters”

GCCF Grand Champion Ocicat Stars Queen’s Sol (Sól)

We thank Sylvia and Helmut Hoyk of Ocicat Stars, for allowing us to have this lovely girl.

Sól arrived at Thor’s Oak on November 26th November 2021

A Cinnamon Ocicat Classic addition to Thorsoak.

Sol when she was a kitten

 

Sól is named after the Norse goddess of the Sun. During Ragnarok, which in Norse mythology is the end of the world, Sol will finally be swallowed by the wolf, Skoll, along with the sun, and the Earth will submerge into the waters.
Conversely, at Thorsoak we are hoping Sol is part of a continuing strengthening of the world of Ocicats

 
 

Again From Thurrock

GCCF Grand Champion & FIFe Champion Thorsoak Nott-Ransdatter (Nòtt)

Born from Rán and Modi, Nott is a blue ocicat who has adopted Monika.
Lithe and powerful, yet very graceful. 
 
 

 

Named after Nott the Norse Goddess of Night.

Nòtt (“Night”) is the Goddess of the night who rides the Night-Chariot in its track through the sky. She is the grandmother of Thor.

Nott is the wife of the god Dellingr and their son Dagr is the personified day.

DreamSong Fulla of ThorsOak (Fulla)

Fulla is a chocolate  Smoke Ocicat with ghost classic tabby markings and golden eyes.
She came to us, along with Gersemi and Yngvi.
She is sleek coated and super friendly
We thank Daedra Marshall, Anne Conrad-McCullock and Venus deVoi for entrusting us with these cats.
 

Fulla. Chocolate Smoke Ocicat

 
Fulla (Old Norse: [ˈfulːɑ], possibly ‘bountiful’) or Volla (Old High German, ‘plenitude’) is a goddess in Germanic mythology.
 
In Norse mythology, Fulla is described as wearing a golden band and as tending to the ashen box and the footwear owned by the goddess Freya, and, in addition, Freya confides in Fulla her secrets.
 
 

Yet Again From Thurrock

Thorsoak Truth-Freyjasdatter (Thruth)

Thruth is the last Daughter of Freyja and is the direct great-granddaughter of our beloved Tikari.
Thruth is a well-formed young lady, who is a Tawny Spotted ocicat and the litter Brother of Heimdall
 

 

 

Thruth (the anglification of Thrudr – Old Norse “Þrúðr”) translates to “strength” or “power.” Given her lineage as the daughter of Thor, the god of thunder, this meaning is fitting.

Þrúðr is the goddess of battle, or possibly a Valkyrie and thus naturally associated with battle. She is the daughter of Thor and Sif. However, Thrud is a little mysterious as not that much is known about her today. Still, there are several indications that she was well-known in the Viking Age.
