This area is not a reference to the strait between Sweden and Denmark, but to cats. At the beginning of the 20th century, feral domestic cats had proliferated here and became a nuisance. Bird populations were already severely reduced and there were reports of attacks on children. The local hunting association set out to solve the problem and also shot many tame domestic cats, earning the hunters the unflattering nickname "Cat Hunters of Elten".
