Legen ! Wheel well ,nii inlise kui ka eesti keeles .

To keep the spirit happy people started to throw dead animals to the well. The main victims appeared to be cats living in the town who were tossed to the well sometimes even live. The practice was so common, that soon it was given a name "Cat's Well". Although the wells in town never ran try the water quality due to sacrifices got so bad that the well couldn't be used anymore from mid 19th century and the cats of the Old Town no longer lived in fear. Rataskaev See rataskaevu on esmakordselt mainitud 1375, mis oli kunagi üks peamisi veeallikaid Tallinnas. Legend ütleb, et: Linna kodanikud uskusid , et kuri vaim elab kaevus ja ähvardab kõik linna kaevud kuivaks voolata, kui ta ei saa regulaarselt loomade ohverdusi. Et vaim õnnelik oleks ,hakkasid inimesed viskama surnuid loomi kaevu. Peamisteks ohvriteks näis olevat kassid, kes elavad linnas, keda visati kaevu isegi elusana .See oli nii levinud, et varsti anti sellele nimi : Kasside kaev
