Here's what I learned...
...in my afternoon's research on the cait sidhe/grimalkin/cat fairies:
-Cait Sidhe is a character in a Final Fantasy game
-Someone with the handle Cait Sidhe has a Buckaroo Banzai fanfic site that's linked all over the web
-Cait sidhe are a monster in Dark Age of Camelot (how come I didn't know this before?)
-Someone I used to staff with on Emerald Dreams wrote up Grimalkin as a homebrew Changeling kith
-Cait sidhe are also known as grimalkin and are shape-shifting cat fairies who have feline traits in their humanoid form (which I knew when I started)
And of course, neither of my fairy books are any help either--except to confirm that I did in fact, unconsciously or accidentally, nail the typical description of a Black Dog/Gytrash/Cu Sith without looking anything up. However, I plan to give Spirits, Fairies, Gnomes, and Goblins a more thorough going over soon, some of what I read in there got some wheels turning in my head.
Word count? Well... yeah. Not so much this afternoon either. Putting the books away right now and opening up Word even as I type this.
