Cactus cat
The cactus cat is a mythical fearsome critter of the American Southwest. The cactus cat was generally described being a bobcat-like creature, covered in hair-like thorns, with particularly long spines extending from the legs and its armored, branching tail. 〔Cohen, Daniel. ''(Monsters, Giants, and Little Men from Mars: An Unnatural History of the Americas )''. (New York: Doubleday, 1975)〕 The creature was said to use its spines to slash cacti at night, allowing juice to run from the plants. On later nights, the creature was said to return to drink the now fermented juice. The then-drunken creature was said to shriek throughout the night.〔Cox, William T. with Latin Classifications by George B. Sudworth. ''(Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods )''. (Washington, D.C.: Judd & Detweiler Inc., 1910]〕 ==References==
