Selma Black's Feline Familiar Legend.
(my goodness I havent done a proper pic of my beloved Legend since August 10, 2011 !!!)

Funny thing about Legend.... he doesn't take kindly to other cats.... This clowder/group was probably nearing a bit too close to Selma's shack for Legend's liking.... So instead of teaching them a lesson.... Legend probably decided to just end them on that day.

Legend pretty much despises other cats. He is extremely territorial. And is only interested in following the orders of Selma. Whom he adores.
(even the dogs have learned to stay away from him, for the most part...And those who don't will learn the lesson eventually.) Infact, pretty much all the animals of the community have learned to keep a good distance from him....the other animals can sense that there is something very....different about him. And they're right.........

I'm sure, given the right time, he would even viciously attack a human being.


But that's enough for now. I shall not reveal any more to his story right now.......



And thank GOD for DA's F.U.R April Fools' joke thing, it got me inspired to draw cats! Hopefully I can keep this urge to draw 8D



Here's the original poem featuring Selma Black and Legend:


Selma Black, Owned a Black Cat.
Selma Black did not wear a "witch's hat".
She did not ride a broomstick to black masses,
But she did meddle a bit into Dark Magics.
Selma Black kept in cages, little black bats.
With their blood,made a brew, and said a chant.
Then cursed and broke Momma Wickerson's back.

Selma Black lived nearest the woods alone in a shack.
Her door, like her hair, was painted black.
Selma heard a knock at the door, opened it up and was wrestled to the floor.
She was lifted, wrists bound.
Then was taken outside, saw the villagers, and made such a sound.
Barking mad, she laughed, and kicked a man to the ground.
The other man, whose hands still held her,
Shrieked in pain, for her touch became as hot as a flame.
When released she started to spin and sing.
"You rid thou's village of my body, but I shall still haunt thou's thoughts and dreams!"

Selma Black, who owned a cat, was tried and Hanged....
And they know now, that the act was a mistake.
At night when their children fall to sleep, a legendary cat starts to sneak.
It sits in the trees, eyes like embers.
And watches wickedly, at those who remember
They Kick and scream and wake up in sweats.
The feline knows, that Selma Black, though dead.
Will never leave these Villagers' heads.


And here's some other images:
