The tawny owl used to be called nattuggla in Swedish, which means “night-owl” and is a reasonable thing to call this bird. Today, however, it’s inexplicably known as kattuggla, or “cat-owl” instead. Since the old and the new name sound so similar, I’m convinced it started as a pun.
“Hey Sven-Ove-Niklas, check out that PISSED looking owl!” “Hahaha it looks like my cat when I forget to feed him!” “Nattuggla more like KATTuggla!”
*high-fiving commences*
*later in the village*
“...and then Thorswald-Göran-Harald said MORE LIKE KATTUGGLA! and we laughed and now if you don’t call it a kattuggla you’re not invited to my birthday.”
*even later*
“...and when my dumb brother came home he said he and his friend had seen a tawny owl that looked like his cat and everyone has to call it cat-owl now and he even wrote a dumb poem about it.” “Hahaha, classic Thorswald-Göran-Harald! I’m totally calling it that now!” “...please don’t.”
