Books like When Findus was Little and Disappeared

I re-read this fine book recently. I'd quite forgotten how Pettson originally acquired Findus! It starts off when he's having coffee with his neighbour and complains that he's feeling lonely."You need a wife!" says the neighbour, a sprightly old lady."Nah," says Pettson. "I'm used to living on my own. I wouldn't know what to do with a woman." (He actually says en hel tant, which is much funnier, but I can't think how to translate that). "A cat would be nice though."A couple of days later, the neighbour comes back with a box marked "FINDUS GRÖNA ÄRTER". There's a kitten inside. Findus is the leading Swedish frozen-food company, and gröna ärter is peas, so this is basically "BIRDS EYE PEAS". But Pettson, who as you can see in \ Pannkakstårtan\ is very logical, decides that it must be the kitten's name...
