The sight of the `Magic Kittens of Crúachan` was enough for the heroes #Loegaire Buadach and #Conall Cernach to flee into the rafters. There they awaited an unpleasand night while the magical beings from #Oweynagat, `the hell-mouth gate of Ireland`, devoured their supper.
#Cuchulainn was unwilling to flee from the beasts of the 'cave of cats'. He sat unperturbed. And every time the beast tried to get his food, he hit it on the head. But it seemed to be made of stone, which is why the sword slipped off. So he couldn't eat or sleep the whole night.
