This is the first real riddle I have created, so I hope it is not too easy!
Murdered by the wise
Who destroyed all of my lives
When I’m at your door, you better pray,
Pray the darkness all away,
I would most gladly munch on a feather
Only if I was not attached to a mortal’s tether
Who am I?
EDIT
I took out some of the lines in the riddle to make it harder. I have made them into a hints instead.
Hints
1
I hunt and hunt, and stalk and prey
2
Sometimes i am turned a stray
3
Black and white, not often grey
