"Yes," he interrupted, "it does." |  | |

Apart from dragons, cats are the only creatures known to absorb magical energy, but no one knows what they do with it.[1] They are also instantly able to recognize witchers and exhibit an obvious disdain for them, like hissing at them.[2] Cats can also see through invisibility.[3]
Notable cats
- Glutton, Nivellen's cat
- Nibbles, Tamara's cat[4]
- Merlin, Assire's cat
- Codringher and Fenn's cat
- Sorel Degerlund's cat
Notes
- There are also werecats,[5] large creatures that are half-human and half feline with powers to bind other similar beasts, such as panthers, to themselves.[6]
- In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, using the potestaquisitor (quest item) to find magical energy will lead Geralt to a nearby cat, leading to him uttering the lines "ah, there you are" or "damn cat, ffwshhht!".
- Like in certain real world cultures, seeing a black cat crossing one's path is considered a bad omen in the Witcher lore as well.[2]
