It's just about Halloween, which means the veil between the worlds is thinner than ever. And also, people are putting costumes on their pets! We all know cats are the most magical of the pets, and that they make the perfect friends for witches and mortals alike. But especially witches. Yes, we're talking about familiars. These kitties aren't just cute--they know spells and can perform important magical tasks!
Have you ever wondered what a familiar looks like? When you meet a cat on the street that seems particularly mesmerizing, how can you tell if it has magical abilities? Well, here are some cats that are absolutely familiars. Note how some of them look wise and magical, some are wearing witch clothing, and some of them just seem to know a thing or two about the occult. Also, they are all adorable and perfect, but that goes without saying...
Reddit user Messyadri brought this cat to our attention. She's one of those cats that just seems to know about the occult...she loves tarot cards and crystals, and even gives them to people. U/messyadri thought she might be a witch...
Most people in the comments felt that rather than a witch this cat was probably a familiar. They thought she came to U/messyadri to be a guide and helper in magic, and she seems to be doing just that. Others thought she might be a reincarnated spirit or another magical creature.
If you don't look into this cat's giant eyes and immediately think she must belong to something beyond this world, then we don't even know what to say to you. She looks like she can see the future and deep into your soul. Would you let her look?
Furry royal is a perfect way to describe this cat, who surely wields some high-ranking magick and was probably taught by his witch mistress. He lives in that treasure chest because HE is the treasure.
Another Reddit user, saxybanana212, had a question about a their cat who seemed to know that brooms are made for more than just sweeping. It seems clear that he's either keeping the broom warm for its next rider or doing some kind of magical engine maintenance--both common familiar tasks. Or he just wants attention.
