Profile

Origin

Cat-sìth (IPA: /ˈkʰaht̪ ˈʃiː/, plural cait-shìth) is a fey from Gaelic mythology, primarily Scottish though also appearing in Irish myth, that takes the appearance of a black cat with a tuft of white fur on their chest that stands on its hind legs. While considered a fey creature, it is also said that it is a witch that can take the form of a cat up to nine times, with the witch being trapped in the cat form upon their ninth transformation. A cat-sìth is said to be able to steal a person's soul after they had died, requiring families to protect the recently deceased from any cats. However they were also said to bring good luck if they were given a plate of milk around the time of the Samhain festival.

Design

Illustration of Puss in Boots by Gustave Doré

Cait Sith resembles the Puss in Boots, a European fairy tale creature. The creature is typically depicted as a bipedal cat wearing a hat with a feather, a cape, a sword, and large boots. This look was popularized by French illustrator Gustave Doré's depiction of the creature in Les Contes de Perrault, a collection of fairy tales released in 1862.

Nomenclature

Cait Sith's name is a misspelling of the Scottish Gaelic cat sìth (literally "fairy cat"), using the plural cait instead of the singular cat.

The name from Revelations: Persona, "Muskat", probably comes from "musketeer" and "cat".
