Black Cats as Witches' Familiars
It was largely in the Middle Ages that the black cat became affiliated with
evil. Because cats are nocturnal and roam at night, they were believed to be
supernatural servants of witches, or even witches themselves.
Folklore has it that if a witch becomes human, her black cat will no longer
reside in her house.
Some believe that black cats are witches in disguise, or witches reborn.
Others believe black cats are witches familiars (beings that aid witches in
performing their craft). Not all familiars were black cats though; some were cats of other colors, dogs, pigs, or other animals.
For several centuries "witches" were rounded up, tried, and killed by burning or other violent methods; often their familiars were killed along with them.
