| The Grimalkin |
| Grimalkin was the name of the witches' cat in Macbeth by William Shakespeare. A grimalkin is defined as an old or evil-looking she-cat. During the late Middle Ages, the name grimalkin - and cats in general - became associated with the devil and witchcraft. Women tried as witches in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries were often accused of having a familiar, frequently a grimalkin. |
