Hi Rambutan12!

Bygul and Trjegul are the cats that pull the Norse Goddess Freya's chariot. 


References:

FREYJA/FREYA (fray-ah): 
" She was married to the god Od, perhaps identical to Odhinn, who
mysteriously disappeared. She weeps tears of gold, but the tears which
fall into the sea become amber. Her cats, Bygul and Trjegul, pull her
chariot. She owns the necklace Brisingamen and keeps half of the slain
warriors in her hall. She is the mistress of cats, leader of the
Valkyries, a shape-shifter, the Sage or "sayer" who inspires all
sacred poetry.?

Bygul   (bee-gool)
"One of the cats that pull Freyja?s chariot."

Trjegul  (tree-gool)
"Also one of the cats that pull Freyja?s chariot."

I had searched for this in lots of places and had actually found out
the answer and then forgotten where I found it. I am building a boat
which is to be called Freya and will call her two dinghies by the cats
names. Thank you very much for a speedy reply.
