Baird's Entry - Cat Sìth (NSFW)
🕑 Added 2020-08-30 21:38:13 +0000 UTCCat Sith
The mischievous Cat Sìth lurks in the dark shadows, waiting to pounce. With ink black fur and a distinct white spot across the chest, the Cat Sìth possesses a majestic beauty along with its fearsome snarl. But the lithe four-legged animal at your feet is not simply there for a fresh sardine. Without appropriate distraction, the Cat Sìth will steal your soul faster than the blink of an eye. Adequate distraction with commonly save you from her evils, but should Samhain pass without ye placing a saucer of fresh warm milk out for the sìth, the creature will return to suck the teats of yer herd dry, ne’er to be blessed with milk again, even with help from the Banarach.
Behind the cunning smile and bright green eyes hides a distrustful and menacing woman—a witch unlike others—one who can shapeshift, transforming herself from cat to human and back again. Yet she may only do so nine times, lest she be cursed to remain a cat after her final transformation. Her trigger is unknown, but thought to be a gentle touch in the wrong direction.
There are but five known men who can describe the chilling transformation of the Cat Sìth. One Amhuinn Foirbeiseach from Invermoriston is recorded in the year 1821 as seeing “a demonic elongation of limbs atop Sròn Na Muic.” Once the cat became human, she stared down young Foirbeiseach until he submitted to her will. His tale of survival can be read in its entirety in Baird's Reflections of Tales Told, the comprehensive historic record of human and fae interactions.

This one has an intriguing yet dark nature. Malcolm falling for a woman who Is not a woman but might have a chance of heart. Samw with kelpie but those seem far More dangerous

Good question! Maybe the legends didn't get it entirely right ; )

What can I say? When the Muse moves me, I have no choice but to move ever forward! And Watsup provided ever a so beautiful Muse......and I doth already lavished my praise upon said fine Artiste! Methinks this fine maiden shall find her way to my desktop wallpaper....and I kinna imagine a better place...besides mayhaps enjoying a spot of milk at the locaal onsen....

Uh oh, only nine times? I hope that’s just something Baird made up!
Little Napoleon
Thanks Colord!
Little Napoleon
We shall see :3
Little Napoleon
Ah, if only we had more hearts to give!
Little Napoleon
Your verse does Baird proud!

I mean, it's Scotland-- would you rather eat souls or haggis?

Amazing. Such quality work and knowledge gained. How I wish I could draw like this
Brian Stuckert
Beautiful image. Interesting tale, but I don't think we should trust it, still kind of fun. Hope the Cat Sith in the game is not a soul stealing kind, but I doubt it.
Tharkis
Why cant i give this more than 1 heart?!
Scott Wulf
Especially under the pale moonlight.....or so I have heard....ask not from whom, for I am sworn to secrecy, or my soul be taken....ah....but that I would gladly suffer....I will gladly set out a saucer for this lovely maiden, for the feline form is one that I do find favor to let mine eyes sup upon, laid back as she be, and the look upon her face, and those glasses.....I shall stay my pace, but if she asked ever so nice.....and if the moon be shining bright o'er head....this wolf might just gladly give her what she asks, with a smile on my lips how they find me in the morn'.....

Man why do so many things want to steal souls? Do they taste good or something?
