Today I learned that these things are called Catkins or Pussy Willows in English, I've only ever known them as Videkissor 😁

We call the soft bud-shaped ones the Pussy Willow.

Catkins hang down and I think on hazel (most common here), birch & some oak. Maybe one kind of willow has catkins.

We too call them little cats/pussies if you will so.
