I have this children's story prodding at the inside of my brain waiting to get out, about a kitten who is taken on to be a trainee witch's cat. It was inspired by one of our cat's recent litter of kittens, who is coal black and cute as anything.
Anyway, today I decided to jot down a few of the ideas that have been bugging me. I have done quite a lot of research on witches and wicca and the role of cats and familiars, but I just thought I'd throw it out here to see if you guys can add to it.
So, what are your thoughts on the role of a witch's cat?
I have already read the following wiki articles:
Black cats: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_cat
Familiars: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Familiar_spirit
Cunning folk i.e. Good witches http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunning_folk
Witches: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch
Wicca: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicca
The Book of Shadows: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Shadows
Oh, and I do know about Gobbolino the Witch's Cat, which my daughter has it, but I have read a brief rundown of the plot and it's nothing like mine
TIA for any help.
