Familiars.

I found a list of mediaeval witches and their familiars, and I think that for anyone who is about to get a pet, or even expecting a child(!) should take note.

Ilemauzar
Pyewacket
Holt
Pecke in the Crowne
Vinegar Tom
Sacke'n'Sugar
Newes
Jarmara
Griezzell Greedigutt

I think some of those are so adorable!
