Witchcraft

[mruczek]

Why is the cat always associated with witches etc.?

[Ginbottle]

Old ladies have traditionally looked after cats for company & it was helpful for medieval prejudices to identify witches. These women had lines on their faces, kept their house clean with a traditional broom & looked after a cat. Easy to recognise a witch!
