The King of Cats
There is an old Irish tale that a man was out hunting one day when he came across the hugest cat he had ever seen. The cat fought him furiously but in the end the man was able to dispatch it with his sword and decapitated it but not before the cat spoke saying 'You have killed the King of Cats'. Taking the head home he was explaining the story to his family when their little cat leapt for his face, scratched out both his eyes and disappeared in a flash never to return. The moral of the tale being that if you kill a King there will always be someone who will take revenge for the murder!
