Piscataway

from Abenaki(?) pisgeu ("dark night") and awa ("place of").

Nocturnal feline-type Wesen living in urban colonies. Objectively smallish, they behave as though they were much bigger. Somewhat vain and selfish. Very stubborn and mischievous. So curious it might kill them. And yet very appealing due to their cuteness, pluckiness, humorous antics, occasional spontaneous affection, and extreme agility (they excel at parkour and base-jumping).

Taggers of the Wesen world, they can't resist spraying everywhere! The more improbable the location, the better. One-natured neighbors despair of any sleep during the Piscataways' all-night alley concerts, to say nothing of their courtship activities on rooftops and fire escapes.

Enraged civic primates are mysteriously compelled to throw shoes at the Piscataways. This never works; besides getting no sleep, said primates just go to work barefoot  the next morning. Hundjaegers can chase Piscataways off at ground level, but no higher, and sometimes the Hundjaegers make even more noise. There seemed to be no practical defense - until someone invented the Super Soaker (TM).
