- One day a man was cutting some turf in a bog and he saw a small black cat coming towards him and the cat cat told the man to tell at home his friend was dead.
The man ran home as quickly as he could and when he reached his home his friend was dead.
That night a man came to the wake and he was playing with the cat the cat got rescued and he told the man of the house to let him out and he was never seen again.- Collector
