MY GRANDMOTHER'S STRANGE HUGE CAT THAT SHE LEFT FOR ME.
My Grandmother's Huge Cat: A Journey into the Unknown
Witchcraft is very real, and I am living proof of its presence in our world. My journey into the strange began with my grandmother—a quiet, shy woman with a mysterious aura. She wasn’t the type to mingle or make friends. In fact, she had zero friends. Her life revolved around her yard, where she kept herself busy with chores and projects that often felt both mundane and otherworldly.
She was my sanctuary. Unlike my parents, who were perpetually engrossed in their business ventures, my grandmother had time for me. Holidays meant everything to me because they brought me closer to her warmth and attention. While my parents built their empires, their home felt like a cold, empty shell. In contrast, my grandmother’s house was alive, albeit in an unusual way—quiet, secluded, and unnervingly detached from the world around it.
My grandmother’s home wasn’t like others in the neighborhood. Despite its welcoming garden and neatly trimmed hedges, no one ever visited. Neighbors kept their distance, and family relatives avoided it entirely. Even as a child, I noticed the absence of visitors, but my curiosity often overruled my fear.
When I played outside, I would sometimes invite the local kids to join me at my grandmother’s house. Yet, without fail, they would refuse to step inside her yard. Their reasons were chilling:
“My parents said I shouldn’t go there,” one child would whisper.
“They told me something bad might happen,” another would add.
When I mentioned this to my grandmother, she would wave it off casually, saying, “Well, then don’t go to their houses either.” Her dismissiveness was odd but firm. Over time, I stopped inviting anyone over and accepted that her home existed in its own strange bubble.
Among all the peculiarities of her home, one thing stood out the most: her enormous cat. This wasn’t your average feline. It was the size of a medium dog, with jet-black fur that seemed to absorb light and eyes so yellow they looked like molten gold. The cat moved with a grace that felt almost human, as if it were aware of its own grandeur and power.
I never saw the cat interact with other animals. Birds avoided the yard, and even stray dogs would yelp and run in the opposite direction if they ventured too close. Despite its intimidating presence, the cat was surprisingly affectionate toward me. It would curl up beside me while I read or follow me around the house as if protecting me.
My grandmother adored the cat and treated it as though it were her own child. She would often talk to it, and though I laughed at the time, I sometimes caught myself wondering if the cat understood her.
When my grandmother passed away, it was devastating. She had been my anchor, my safe place in a world that often felt cold and distant. But her death was only the beginning of the strange events that followed.
In her will, she left me her house and, of course, her beloved cat. At first, I was touched by the gesture. But as I moved into her home and began settling in, I realized there was more to this inheritance than I had anticipated.
The cat’s behavior changed almost immediately. It became more watchful, its golden eyes following my every move. At night, I would hear strange noises—soft thuds, whispers, and even faint laughter echoing through the empty rooms. The house, once a place of comfort, began to feel alive in an unsettling way.
One evening, while sorting through my grandmother’s belongings, I stumbled upon a small, locked chest. Inside, I found journals filled with cryptic symbols and writings that spoke of protection spells, warding rituals, and even incantations to summon spirits. My grandmother, it seemed, had been practicing witchcraft all along.
Suddenly, the oddities of her life began to make sense—the neighbors’ fear, the children’s reluctance, and the eerie calm that always surrounded her yard. Even the cat wasn’t just a pet; it was her familiar, a mystical being bound to her through her craft.
As I read further, I discovered that the cat’s purpose was to protect the family bloodline. My grandmother had passed not only her belongings but also her legacy onto me. The cat, now my responsibility, seemed to understand this more than I did.
Adjusting to this new reality hasn’t been easy. The cat remains a constant presence, watching over me as if ensuring I carry out my grandmother’s wishes. I’ve started noticing things I once dismissed—a flicker of movement in the corner of my eye, an unexplained shadow passing through the room.
I haven’t dared to open the more advanced spellbooks yet, but I feel a growing pull toward understanding this side of my grandmother’s life. Perhaps it’s fear, or perhaps it’s destiny, but one thing is clear: her legacy lives on, not just through me but through the massive, golden-eyed creature that now rules my home.
Witchcraft isn’t just about spells and magic; it’s about connections—to the past, to unseen forces, and to the mysteries of the world around us. My grandmother’s life was a testament to that, and her cat is now a living reminder of the unknown.
As I write this, the cat is beside me, purring softly, its eyes glinting with an intelligence that feels almost human. Whether it’s a protector, a guide, or something far beyond my understanding, I know one thing for sure: this journey has only just begun.
