+* Cait Sith (also Cat Sith or Cat Sidhe) is based on the creature of the [[Wikipedia:Cat_sìth|same name]] in Celtic mythology. It is usually described to resemble a large black cat with a white spot or marking on its chest.
+** [[Wikipedia:Aos_Sí|Sith]] (alternate spellings are Sídhe and Sí depending on region) is a name attached to creatures that were often associated with the supernatural. It can be loosely understood to mean "fairy" but it is more closely translated to "of the mound" as the "sidhe" were the name of the mounds that dot Irish landscape and were often believed to be the entryway to the [[Wikipedia:Celtic_Otherworld|Celtic Otherworld]].
+*** Cat Sith's name could be loosely translated to "Fairy Cat"; in a similar manner to {{Transient icon|Cu Sith}} (Fairy Dog) and {{Transient icon|Leannan Sidhe}} (Fairy Lover).
+* Cat Sith's royal appearance similar to that of a king is due to the Cat Sith often being associated with the British folk tale "[[Wikipedia:The_King_of_the_Cats|The King of Cats]]" where a man sees a group of eight cats carrying a coffin and was told to tell his cat that the old king had died; whereupon reaching his home and telling his wife, their pet cat exclaimed "Then I am the king of the cats!", who then rushes away and is never seen again.
