Yes, there is a cat in Roald Dahl's "The Witches." The cat is an important character in the story and plays a significant role in helping the young boy defeat the witches.
The headmaster at St. Peter's school in the book "Boy" by Roald Dahl was named Captain Hardcastle.
It's considered the witches cat.

well in movie i saw the black cat cause bad luck well the reason why the black cat was important to SOME witches was because they were a symbol of bad luck to evil witches. But to other witches they r just soothing compony.
In "The Witches" by Roald Dahl, some examples of figurative language include similes (comparing two unlike things using "like" or "as"), metaphors (implying a comparison without using "like" or "as"), and personification (giving human traits to non-human things). For example, the witches are described as having "claws like a cat" (simile), "a face as crinkly as a dried walnut" (simile), and "The voice of the Grand High Witch quivered with anger" (personification).
I have a feeling it is because of the fact that one of the most popular familiars for witches is a black cat. And back then they were mightily afraid of witches...i think that's where the Friday the 13 superstition came from as well. But of course not all witches are evil, so i don't think the black cat superstition really is true
yes. people accused of being witches were burned at stake, sometimes, people thought that witches could take the form of cats, so if you saw a cat more then three times, and it was the same, the cat would be found and burned at stake.
Hocus Pocus.
The cat is rewarded and becomes human...a familiar to guide other familiars to help and guide new witches.
I think it was because black cats mean bad luck if you cross them, so they wanted witches to seem even more evil!
they keep black cats only
