...does anyone know any stories, myths, legends regarding crows/ravens, cats or owls?

I just read this at: http://www.moonmage.net/lair/mythtricksters.html

Raven: In some Native American cultures, Raven is a trickster, in others he is a hero. Usually, he's a bit of both. In one story, he brought Sun to the people, but at a cost, because the once white bird was now scorched black by the sun. In many traditions ravens were originally white. In fact, there is still a strain of white ravens and the white is actually dominant over the black. It is possible that all or most ravens were once black. Perhaps they were favored for their magical properties and killed for their feathers in great quantity. In Irish myths, ravens or crows are always signified as "female" instead of as "male"... they were sacred to (and a favored form of) the Morrigan. They were said to represent death, especially in battle... (gee, imagine that...) But I wouldn't name Morrigan as a trickster per se, although she was very much certainly cast as a manipulator in many myths.

Any others you know of?
