150+ Witch Names for Cats That Will Cast a Spell on You

Throughout history, cats have been misunderstood creatures. In medieval times, people believed cats were connected to witchcraft. A woman with a cat might be suspected of being a witch, especially if she had facial warts. Many thought cats were demonic beings or spiritual helpers called familiars that assisted witches with their magic.

Today we understand cats differently. Far from being supernatural creatures, cats are beloved pets that bring joy and companionship to millions of homes.

As Halloween approaches, many people consider adopting these independent and charming animals, appreciating them for the loving companions they truly are rather than the spooky creatures of old superstitions.

Witchy Cat Names from TV and Movies

Looking for a magical name for your feline friend? TV shows and movies offer a treasure trove of spooky and enchanting cat names. These names capture the mysterious bond between witches and their feline companions throughout popular culture.

Salem from “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” stands as perhaps the most famous witchy cat. This sarcastic black cat (actually a warlock trapped in cat form) has inspired many pet names since the show aired. Binx from “Hocus Pocus” offers another popular choice, named after the boy who was transformed into an immortal black cat.

Some lesser-known but equally magical options include:

• Pyewacket: The name of the mysterious black cat familiar in “Bell, Book, and Candle”
• Grimalkin: The witches’ cat familiar mentioned in Shakespeare’s “MacBeth”
• Licorice: From the comic series “Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose”
• Kit: The Siamese cat from the TV show “Charmed”

If you prefer names of witches themselves, consider these bewitching options:

Show/Movie	Witch Names
Bewitched	Samantha, Endora, Tabitha
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina	Hilda, Zelda, Prudence
The Witches of Eastwick	Jane, Sukie, Bonnie
American Horror Story: Coven	Cordelia, Zoe

Classical literature and folklore also provide magical inspiration. Circe from Homer’s “Odyssey,” Prospero from Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” and Jadis from “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” all make distinctive cat names.

For those who love animated films, names like Kiki from “Kiki’s Delivery Service,” Ursula from “The Little Mermaid,” or Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West) offer playful options with a hint of magic.

Don’t forget about the familiars and companions of famous witches. Archimedes (Merlin’s owl) and Harpier (the witches’ owl in MacBeth) would make unique names for a wise-looking cat.
