Norwegian Cat Names?

I'm writing a novel based in Norway in 1998, and some characters are cats. But I don't know how Norwegians name cats, and if they are given human or cat names (or both). So does anyone have any info about this?

There is a cat breed called "Norwegian Forest Cat". Searching for this breed will lead you to cat fanciers and their named (and pedigreed) cats for inspiration.

Thanks, that's actually the breed of the cats in my book. I'll look into that.
