The case in summary Frodo the cat has become a popular figure at Kambo station in Moss, where he often shows up during rush hour. Frodo is known to be friendly and welcoming, and many commuters have noticed him. Frodo’s owner believes the cat has learned the train timetable, because the cat only appears at the station during rush hour. The owners have placed an “airtag” on Frodo to always know where he is, in case he goes missing or jumps on a train. The summary is made by an AI service from OpenAI. The content is quality assured by news’s journalists before publication. – It’s really nice to meet him, says narrator Jan Arne (39). Jan Arne barely managed to say hello to news before he had to run to the train at Kambo station.

But now he and the other commuters have gained a little friend while waiting. Frodo the cat has apparently learned the timetable. – The other day we ate a lot on the lawn over there. But unfortunately I can’t do that now, says Jan Arne to news, before he turns and jogs up to the platform. – What a lovely kitty Jan Arne is far from the only one who has noticed the black and white cat begging for cuddles at the station. Frodo eagerly scouts for morning commuters who can give him a little treat. Cars arrive at the parking lot … .. the train arrives at the platform …… and commuters rush off. No luck this time. Except for the news journalist. A concerned commuter who observed Frodo for an extended period of time posted in a local group on Facebook. – Every morning and afternoon when I go to and from the train station, this cat sits by the stairs leading up to the station. If there is anyone who misses it, it is the place of residence here at the station, he wrote. In the comment section, people were clear about the kind of joy he gave them in their everyday life: Several express the joy of meeting a cat every morning and evening. “Saw him at the train station yesterday afternoon, and it’s such a nice sight – what a lovely kitty,” writes a Facebook user. “Frodo was ready as a welcoming committee at the station at 5:30 this morning. Nice to have a gentle face so early,” writes another. Frodo jumps away from cars in search of cuddles Don’t expect a cat Commuter Camilla Jørstad confirms that Frodo has become a very popular cat among travellers. Commuter Camilla Jørstad (44) says she eats with Frodo several mornings. – I have several pleasant mornings where I eat with Frodo. I personally believe that animals bring joy to people. She describes Frodo as very friendly and welcoming. – That makes it extra pleasant. You don’t exactly expect to meet a cat at a train station, says Jørstad. – Frodo is very friendly and welcoming, says commuter Camilla Jørstad.

There is nothing better than that, says Solås Johansen. The family, with two cats, moved to Kambo last autumn. Frodo the cat quickly acquired new habits. – I take the train to and from work in Oslo, and one day I suddenly met him in the car park. Then he probably wondered terribly where we were going. After that, he appeared more and more often, Matfar says. Solås-Johansen says that Frodo is at home during the day, but goes to the train station during rush hour. Photo: Julie Solvin Borgmo / news The ten-year-old cat knows well when there are the most people at the train station. A pattern has formed of when he appears. – He is only there during rush hour and never in the middle of the day, so one wonders if he has learned the train timetable, laughs Johansen. – Do you have the impression that the commuters recognize him? – Yes, eventually they do. There have been some funny comments under the Facebook post, such as: “Finally we got a name for him”. It is clear that more people know who he is. With the snow falling, and an news journalist in tow, he hurries home to warm himself. Got an “airtag” Solås-Johansen, who himself works in IT in Oslo, says that Frodo is happy to explore new places, even though he is also at home a lot. – Aren’t you afraid that he will suddenly jump on the train? – Yes, we are. We have had to place an “airtag” on Frodo now, because he can suddenly disappear for a day or two. Then we know where he is all the time, says Johansen. After rush hour, Frodo goes home. Even cuddling with a journalist is not tempting. Just by Kambo train station, stepmother and stepfather live. At home there is an open (cat) door. Here he will probably stay in the heat …. until next time rush hour …. in six hours’ time. – Do you have a request for people who attend Frodo? – He is extremely social and loves cuddling, so when you meet him, all you have to do is cuddle. He will probably lie down to offer his belly, encourages Johansen Published 25.11.2024, at 05.36
