Busy hangover
A bus tomcat is a mythical animal and wizard in the form of a large, black tomcat who is the size of a dog. He has pitch black fur and glowing eyes.
As a character in fairy tales , legends and fables , the bus cat appears as a child- frightening figure with whom one wanted to scare the children so that they do not go outside at night. He can therefore be seen as the nasty counterpart to the friendly Puss in Boots .
At dusk and at night the bus cat sneaks through the streets like a predator. When he roams the courtyards, the dogs, cats, poultry and all the other domestic animals hide in their hiding places. However, he not only lies in wait for the animals, he also watches every day whether there are still screaming and noisy children on the street in the evening or at night. When he sees a child, he attacks it, hisses and scratches it with his claws. His eyes widen and he stretches his hump up. The scared to death children then scream so loud that the beams in the houses move. The parents then warn their children: "The bus hangover is about!"
An evil and powerful magician who can take the form of a tomcat is said to live in the penitentiary. If he snatches the children three times and touches them with their tails, then they will be for life. They only cause their parents worry and grief and must perish miserably as street children. While they hang around the streets as damned people and can no longer get away from him, the good children do their schoolwork at home and study hard. These children are the opposite of the damned on the streets.
