December 27, 1821

December 27, 1821 (or 26, sources vary) is the birth date of Lady Wilde. She collected and published Irish folk tales, and "The Demon Cat" recounts the story of a fish stealing cat, a cat that was huge and black, and attacked any one who came between it and the fish. Except for the size (and who knows how big "huge" is) this cat's behavior seems pretty feline, except that it dissolved when holy water was sprinkled on it. So we know it was a demon. Lady Wilde was Oscar's mom.
