This little monster is not so much dangerous as very, very, annoying. The cathect lives in churches, mosques, synagogues, and in fact anyplace people gather for spititual reasons. The cathect's sole purpose is to confuse the congregation. They causes hymnal pages to stick together so people find themselves singing a hymn different from what is being sung by others; the Cathect changes the ribbon place markers in prayer books, they curl up the edges of prayer rugs, they cause yalmulkas (sp?) to slip off the head or tilt rakishly over one eye. In general they are mischief makers whose sole purpose is to cause annoyance and distraction to people who seek quiet contemplation or connection with their higher power.
No description of the Cathect exists. They are known by their actions alone.
