Once upon a time there was a family of people living in Caher. One morning when they got up there was a black cat on the stool. One of the men got up to put it out and he was not able. Then he got a shovel and he was not able to put it off. Then he went in for the Holy Water and threw it a the cat, and it went up the chimney in a blaze of fire.- Collector
