Witches of the middle ages were more often than not thought to be women, and a disproportionate number of those condemned as witches were in fact female.
Women of the time did the work of running the household and part of that included the cleaning.
Brooms were part and parcel of their "equipment" so when looking for "proof" that a woman was a witch, the accusers could point to the broom and say, "There is proof".
This dose not mean modern day witches don't use brooms (we call them Bessoms) as part of some of our Rituals. The Bessom is used to ritually cleanse the area we use for our Circle (Sacred space) and as a common part of Hand-fasting Rituals (weddings).

Old myth and hollywood distributed folklore. Witches were supposed to have an animal, a familiar, that somehow enchanced their ability to use magic and to communicate with the devil.A witch's familiar was thought to be a demon or imp who most often appeared in the form of a small animal: cats, rabbits, toads and mice were all commonly assumed forms of the witch's companion spirit, who was believed to trade favors to witches in return for milk from the witch's breast (or, from a "third teat" or extra nipple). Old women living alone often had a cat for company (and still do) and therefore the cat was most often thought to be the familiar if the woman was accused of witchcraft.The cats were usually burnt at the stake with the witch.
