Japanese yokai Bakeneko
The folclore of Japanese culture contains a lot of tales and legends, connected with spirits. These creatures can take various shapes. Some of them, such as maneki-neko, a beckoning cat, are friendly. They can help people and bring good luck, but there are also evil spirits.
Bakeneko is a cat-like demon yokai. It is believed that any domesticated cat who has lived a certain period or gained more than 3.75 kilograms can be turned into bakeneko. These demons are aggressive, they have sharp fangs and claws and drink blood. They can resurrect a dead. Bakeneko could even kill its owner and live in its body.
Of course, no one knows for sure what makes cats to turn into evil spirits. That's why you need to get along with your furry friend. Maybe it will give you a mercy.
THANK YOU!
