Gatipedro is a [[Legendary creature|mythological being]] or legendary animal found in [[Galicia (Spain)|Galician]] folklore, who makes children wet their beds. It is portrayed as a white cat with a single brown horn on its head. During night time, the gatipedro gets into houses, goes to the rooms where children sleep, and then starts pouring water through its horn. The sleeping child, dreams he or she is peeing, and therefore actually wets the bed. According to popular tradition, in order to scare it away, it is necessary to sprinkle some salt grains in front of the door of the room and next to the window. The gatipedro walks not only on all fours but also on its tongue, so when it tastes the salt, it turns around and leaves the children in peace.<br />
<br />
== In literature ==<br />
The gatipedro was described by [[Galician literature|Galician author]] [[Álvaro Cunqueiro]] in his book "Escola de menciñeiros", published by [[Editorial Galaxia]] in 1960. It is also one of the themes of the short story collection "Os outros feirantes," written in 1971 by Cunqueiro, where the character Marcelino pees in his bed because of the nocturnal visits of this animal. Finally, the situation is resolved thanks to a healer or "menciñeiro" from [[Pontedeume]] who finds the solution by sprinkling salt at the entrance of the child's room.<br />
<br />
In 2018, Jacobo Paz's "O gatipedro" tale was published by Baía Edicións, with pictures by Xosé Tomás. <br />
