From then on, cats became the most popular familiars for witches all over the world. She took Ember to the Witching Institute of Familars and they examined her and discovered that cats have an innate magical knowledge. Ember the cat squeezed through the bars to sit with Victoria, and she was able to remember the transference spell and used it to get herself and Ember out of the prison. Her familiar, a rabbit, was so frightened he ran away. The suspicious villagers threw Victoria in the village jail. This changed when Victoria Cobwebton misjudged a flying spell and crashed in a village of non-magical people. In the past, witches used any animal as a familiar. The first cat to be a witch's familiar was Ember. this can apparently happen when their owners’ magic becomes corrupt, but it turns out that when mother cats have kittens, they transfer their magic to the kittens, leaving the mother low on magic. In The Owl and the Pussycat, we learn that familiars can lose their magic and will fade away if it is not restored.
MAGICAL NAMES FOR CATS TV
In the 2017 TV series, the familiars are critical to the plot and often find useful items. The cats appear more in the books than the 1998 TV series. However, sometimes, certain witching schools will only allow a certain species to be the students' familiars (for example, in the 2017 series, Cackle's Academy only allowed cats.) Owls, dogs, and even hedgehogs have been mentioned as alternative familiars. However, there is no actual rule stating that the witch's animals have to be cats, and theoretically even elephants could be permitted if it weren't for the obvious size restrictions. Mildred and Her friends with their kittensĪ witches' cat serves no practical purpose whatsoever - they are to sit on the back of a witch's broomstick, and continue tradition.
