Etymology
The root words Cait (meaning cat in both Irish and Scottish Gaelic) and Sidhe, that stands for fair folk and/or other otherworldly beings, means "faerie cat" and is pronounced "Kat Sthee". It is from Celtic mythology, said to resemble a large black cat with a white spot on its breast. Legend has it that the spectral cat haunts the Scottish Highlands. The legends surrounding this creature are more common in Scottish folklore, but a few occur in Irish. Some common folklore suggested that the Cat Sìth was not a fairy, but a witch that could transform into a cat nine times.
