Cat Sith
A cat sith takes the soul from a corpse left unwatched between death and burial and leaves the household burying an empty body. Mourners at a wake kept watch in shifts for that reason, with riddles and wrestling and the cat shut out. On the last night of autumn it blesses a house that has set out milk and sours the cows of one that has not.
