cat of the month

The girlblog! Cat of the Month for October is: the black cat from Practical Magic (1998)!

A nameless black cat appears throughout the 1998 cosy classic Practical Magic, acting as a familiar for the family of witches. A minor background character, this cat wanders the home of Owens coven, consisting of the widowed Sally (Sandra Bullock) and her nomadic sister Gillian (Nicole Kidman). Having grown up with the Owens sisters, this cat is protective of its owners, seen hissing at the body of Gillian's abusive ex-boyfriend, Jimmy (Goran Visnjic). He might be dead, but that doesn't mean he deserves peace.

Mostly seen held in the arms of its spell-casting owners, this cat radiates contentment. Clearly comfortable in its home, demonstrated by its consistently docile nature, this cat says nothing, but looks fluffy and adorable. What a great life this kitty has.
