A Japanese cat-like demon stealing the dead. He looks like a humanoid cat with a burning tail, which comes during the death of a person. She, without letting him complete the ceremony of leaving for another world, with the help of a storm or typhoon, he takes sinful people to hell. The creature has an ice bag from hell instead of a bladder. With its help, kasia can cause rain, while protecting herself with a wall of fire.
An ordinary cat can turn into a kasya after living too long or having outlived its owner.
However, the legends about Cas are not limited to funerals alone. Some stories tell about a completely ordinary day and an evil old woman who goes out the door and a dark cloud immediately picks her up and takes her away. This cloud is also called the "sea". Sometimes the sea is considered another youkai, and sometimes the same.
In the original Buddhist texts, kasia is known as a demon called "ingaki-e".
