This, might be, one of the questions that I am asked the most. What is Anekke’s cat called? Indeed he is my companion on adventures, Towanda; he has stolen many of your hearts. And this doesn’t surprise me!

Perhaps he is the most affectionate, outgoing, insatiable cat in the universe. An adventurous cat that accompanies me on all my trips, that appears in the prints, patches, lapel pins… He is a star!

But, where does he get his name from?

“Towanda” is a word that I fell in love with when I heard it for the first time in the film FriedGreen Tomatoes. The main character uses it as an expression, referring to the fact that, when faced with any adverse situation in life, we always keep going. And this positive outlook, this bravery and zest for life are summed up in the word “Towanda”. How could I not choose this name for my best friend? ❤️
