In early modern European superstition, it was thought that one way to identify if someone was a witch was if they owned a cat. This cat was believed to be some form of demon or evil spirit in disguise, acting as the witch's Familiar and aiding her in her spells. These days witches and cats don't have such bad reputations, but their association with each other persists and the once perhaps dubious stereotype has become Truth in Television as those into modern Witchcraft favor cats due to the old claims. If a show has a witch, there is an extremely good chance that the witch has a cat. Sometimes simply owning a cat is used as a hint or foreshadowing that a woman living alone might have a secret magical nature. Conversely, if a witch is losing her powers, a common first clue is that her cat spends less time by her side. And doesn't that make purrfect sense? Everyone knows that Cats Are Magic, not to mention the best, so of course any witch worth her broomstick would own one, if not a whole clowder of cats. In fact, it's not uncommon for a witch to have such a soft spot for her feline friends that she doubles as a Crazy Cat Lady, owning a dozen or more. Such witches are usually considered quirky and tend to be of the good variety, the same if a witch owns cats with coat colors outside the stereotypical black. The cat is the most common Familiar for a witch by far, though sometimes the association is so strong that it's not that the witch owns a cat, but she is a cat or can transform into a cat at will! The association is most concrete between female witches and cats, though occasionally if a work allows male witches, or warlocks and wizards are simply male witches, the association will spill over. In European folklore, black cats have been considered to be familiars of witches since the Middle Ages, so this trope is Older Than Print. Compare Right-Hand Cat, Cats Are Magic, and Familiar. See Pirate Parrot for another animal in a similar position to another popular figure in fictional stories. Sometimes the cat in question is a Panthera Awesome. |

Harry Potter: A cat is one of the animals which wizarding students can bring as a pet to Hogwarts. In this case, the cats are merely pets, not familiars. According to bonus materials, many of them are part Kneazle, a magical animal that's basically a smarter cat. In book three, Hermione gets one named Crookshanks. A witch and teacher, Professor McGonagall, can turn into a cat. Hermione is accidentally transformed into a cat in Chamber of Secrets, thanks to the Polyjuice Potion when she thought she took a sample of Millicent Bulstrode's hair off her robe during their dueling club match so she, Harry and Ron can infiltrate the Slytherin common room to interrogate Malfoy in hopes of finding the culprit responsible for the students being petrified, but grabbed a cat hair instead. Umbridge has a Cats Are Mean motif whenever she's not being compared to a toad, but doesn't actually own one. Instead, she has a cat Patronus and a collection of rather tacky cutlery with enchanted pictures of cats on them. In something of an Inversion, Argus Filch and Mrs. Figg are both noted for a love of cats, despite being Squibs. |

There is Mattewis, the kitten/cat whose function is to be a timid little kittie who miouws a lot and is the indispensable companion to a working witch. Then there is Karel Kat, her sophisticated friend, a sort of Non-Human Sidekick, who is essentially an anthropomorphic cat who dresses smartly, drives a smart car, and flies a helicopter. Karel and Mattewis are never really seen interacting. | |

Whateley Universe: Elyzia Grimes is a powerful witch and a member of Whateley Academy's Magical Arts Department. She even looks like a witch, since she's described as looking uncomfortably like what Morticia Addams would look like in real life. Her familiar is a solid black cat named Merlin. Fortunately, she has a sense of humor about the whole thing. (Not all familiars in this world are cats: Foxfire has a fox kit for a familiar.) Likewise, Gateway's friend Rythax may not be technically her familiar for all that he was the first creature she ever managed to summon, but he's definitely a cat. Of the occasionally-giant-winged-black-panther variety. On the other hand, Josie Gilman's "familiar", Schrodinger, only looks like a black cat much of the time — he is actually a Shoggoth who somehow bonded with Josie. |

Discworld: Not all witches have cats, but the association is there. Among the coven of witches in Lancre, Nanny Ogg owns a battle-scarred tomcat named Greebo, who's basically Cats Are Mean personified. During the events of Wyrd Sisters, the witch Magrat is mentioned to not like cats much. Granny Weatherwax, oldest member of the coven, regards cats as "nasty, cruel little bastards." Later in the series, she's given a white kitten, which she initially disdains but soon grows quite fond of, not that she’d ever admit it. She merely names it "You", as in "get down from there, You" or "stop that, You." You is later inherited by Tiffany Aching in The Shepherd's Crown after Granny's death. In The Wee Free Men the victim of a witch hunt Tiffany witnessed when she was younger was convicted on the basis of being an old woman who owned a cat. She wasn't actually a witch though. |

In Wise Child, Juniper is believed by the townsfolk, including Wise Child at the beginning, to be a witch, and she has two cats named Ruby and Pearl. They seem to serve no real magical purpose, however. The closest to it that it gets is that Pearl jumps on Wise Child's broom and accompanies her on her doran test, and it's implied she speaks, but it's not elaborated on. | |

In the first series, he runs away from home and goes on a spree of destruction of wooden items across the country.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks: Miss Price has learned to be a witch through mail-order lessons. She doesn't believe in giving names to animals, but calls her cat Cosmic Creepers "because that's the name he came with". One presumes she got a black cat because witches are expected to have one. That said, she never shows cruelty or resentment to the animal and makes sure he's fed (but not on houseguests that she's turned into rabbits, of course!). | |

Soul Eater: In the first episode, what Maka and Soul thought was a witch turned out to actually be a cat that had a human form and magic and merely dressed like a witch. The actual witches however have their own Animal Motifs, none of which have been cats. A later episode offhandedly reveals there's been a witch with a cat motif in plain sight all along, and we didn't notice the latter point because it's a domestic cat — the personality feedback from which being one of the things which scares her into repressing her powers as much as possible. (Apparently she'd be a lot more like Blair if she let herself slide into full witchiness, and she's not really inclined that way.) |

Pathfinder: Witch is the only class to have to have a familiar (ignoring a few scattered archetypes), although it doesn't have to be a cat (witches renew their magic spells by communing with their familiar, and other classes either don't get the ability by default or can choose to bind themselves to an item instead). | |

Sabrina: The Animated Series. Like the live-action series, the younger Sabrina and her family own a wise-talking black cat who was once a powerful wizard. Here, however, he can be more anthropomorphic and actually has some magic powers himself, though they're far weaker than he had as a human. In the spin-off, Sabrina's Secret Life, Sabrina's Alpha Bitch witch rival, Cassandra, owns a white rabbit who may also have once been human. This is inverted in the Filmation series. As in the comics, Salem is an orange marmalade. | |

From the same franchise, Baldur's Gate III has a rare male example: the Human Wizard Gale Dekarios and his pet tortoiseshell Tressym (winged cat), Tara. Gale willed Tara into existence as a child because he was lonely, and when he developed an addiction to magical objects, she helped retrieve artifacts for him to absorb— eventually encouraging him to get out and see the world, which is why he's on the adventure in the first place. | |

Granny Weatherwax, oldest member of the coven, regards cats as "nasty, cruel little bastards." Later in the series, she's given a white kitten, which she initially disdains but soon grows quite fond of, not that she’d ever admit it. She merely names it "You", as in "get down from there, You" or "stop that, You." You is later inherited by Tiffany Aching in The Shepherd's Crown after Granny's death. | |

In The Sims 3, witches (which can be male) get bonuses from having a familiar nearby. Nearly any small animal can be a familiar, but the only major animals that can be familiars are cats, not dogs or horses. Witches in The Sims 2 also have cat familiars they can summon. |

The Lord of the Rings has an offhand reference to "the cats of Queen Berúthiel." The Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth expands on the story: Berúthiel was a Black Númenorean who married the king of Gondor, probably for political reasons, and used her cats to spy on everyone in the kingdom. Eventually, her husband separated from her and sent her and the cats away by ship. Interestingly, Word of God describes her as the sort of person who hates cats but finds that they follow her around anyway; she tortured some but trained a few for her purposes. | |

El Chavo del ocho: In the episode "En la casa de la bruja" (In the house of the witch), Chavo, Chilindrina and Kiko enter Doña Clotilde's house and see the typical Haunted House with her as a crone in a cauldron. In that episode her pet Satanás (Satan in Spanish) is a white cat. Of course at the end is All Just a Dream. Subverted in all other episodes as Doña Clotilde's pet Satanás is always a dog. Of course, Doña Clotilde herself is not a real witch (unless you count her spiritualist activities). |

In The Wheel of Time series, it is noted that female channelers known as Aes Sedai tend to attract cats. They're not familiars or magical in any way (although some promote the myth to increase their air of mystery), it's just one of those odd things that happens. Once male channelers start showing up, the same thing happens with dogs. Also, a channeler tends to drive away the animal of the other gender (men repulse cats, women repulse dogs). | |

The eponymous Sakura of Cardcaptor Sakura has instead what appears to be a small yellow lion cub (or teddy bear, depending on whom you ask) with wings, that she calls "Kero-chan". It turns out that "Kero-chan"'s real name is Cerberus, and he's really a full-sized, armored lion with wings. Similarly, Eriol has what looks like a small, winged black kitten, but is really a panther with blue butterfly wings. Both of these animals are Sun Guardians. | |

Bewitched: A few witch/warlock characters have cat familiars, which can assume human form (usually attractive and female). One episode indicates that transformed familiars automatically revert to their feline forms at midnight, but this isn't touched upon in other episodes. Also, the opening credits exaggerates the trope: moments after Darrin kisses Samantha, she transforms into a black cat and back into her human form after jumping into Darrin's arms, just before the smoke comes out of the stove, revealing the rest of the cast members. | |

GURPS Thaumatology: Alchemical Baroque: The trope is played with. Cats in the setting are strictly speaking entirely natural creatures, albeit odd ones who often have a sense for the supernatural, and some of them are notably intelligent and can talk. Some of these hang around witches, leading to talk of "familiars", but in fact, they do this purely for the sake of intelligent conversation with people who aren't fazed by them, though they may do their witch friends odd favors. | |

Retired Witches Mysteries: All the members of the coven have cats, who are reincarnated from humans and serve as their familiars. It's a tradition for witches in general to have them, though some don't. Olivia's cat Harper, a Russian blue with a gray and white coat, was a British sailor from the 1500s. Molly's cat Isabelle a long-haired gray, was a fourteenth-century witch who was burned at the stake. Elsie's cat Barnabas, a ginger tabby Manx, was a preacher from the 1700s who was mistakenly hanged for witchcraft. Dorothy's cat is a tuxedo named Hemlock (originally called Scooter, but he revealed his real name after she gained her magical tool and became able to communicate with him), a Greek scholar who studied with Plato and witnessed the eruption of Mount Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii. Brian averts it when they first meet him (which Molly thinks in book 3 is a sign of his parents neglecting aspects of his training, but which his grandfather later reveals is because Abdon thinks having one is a sign of weakness), but discusses the possibility in book 2. In book 3, he does get one from Dorothy, who turns out to be a shifter named Kalyna, and the book ends with Dorothy giving him a replacement, a black-and-white cat named Laue. |

In Neverwinter Nights, Wizards and Sorcerers can choose to have a cat as Familiar. Though in this case, it's more a Panthera Awesome, complementing the master's magical powers with brute force. From the same franchise, Baldur's Gate III has a rare male example: the Human Wizard Gale Dekarios and his pet tortoiseshell Tressym (winged cat), Tara. Gale willed Tara into existence as a child because he was lonely, and when he developed an addiction to magical objects, she helped retrieve artifacts for him to absorb— eventually encouraging him to get out and see the world, which is why he's on the adventure in the first place. |

The House of Night: Vampyres are basically a Mage Species, as they cast spells and even practice a pseudo-Wiccan religion, and apparently have a great affinity for cats. (Cats even used to be killed in the old days, under the belief that they turned people into vampyres.) Neferet has one named Skylar, who rejects her when her Heel–Face Turn is revealed. | |

In the Blackadder episode "Witchsmeller Persuviant", Mistress Scott, who the villagers burned as a witch, owned a cat. Percy is particularly shocked to realise they also burned the cat. The absurd evidence against Edmund also includes the fact he owns a cat named Bubbles, which the Witchsmeller claims is short for Beelzebubbles. | |

The Witch subclass in Dungeon Fighter Online picks up Shadow Cat Pluto among her elemental familiars, and all members of the base Female Mage class produce an image of Pluto for one core attack. (Among the lore fallen by the wayside in one game revamp or another is that making the familiar pact was a part of the questline to becoming a Witch and that the base Mage spell actually conjures a momentary knockoff of Pluto out of the caster's mana.) | |

In Flying Witch witch sisters Makoto and Akane own very intelligent cat familiars, Chito and Kenny. Chito is able to cover for her mistress's tendency to get lost, while Kenny is something of an anthropologist. However, it's not a universal trait: Inukai has a hamster familiar who is very frightened of Chito when they're introduced to each other. | |

In Charmed, the main characters are three witch sisters, and they inherited a cat, Kit, along with their powers. Eventually she was only being shown in stock footage, then disappeared; a later episode has her come back as a human, revealing that she was actually a familiar and did it so well that she's now been assigned to train more familiars for other witches. (What she did well is never explained, since she just seemed to be a normal cat.) | |

Sabrina the Teenage Witch: Sabrina has Salem Saberhagen, a warlock punished for trying to take over the world with a sentence of one hundred years as a black cat. Technically, he belongs to Aunt Hilda, one of his followers, who was punished with having to take care of him. The trope is also exaggerated in the episode "Cat Showdown", when Sabrina enters Salem in a cat show, then transforms herself into a cat to expose a blackmail scheme against one of the judges, winning the cat show in the process. |
