Familiar vs Pentacle

[mark]

I have a long pentacle necklace that I wore for the first time in a long time. I cleansed it last night with incense. I was sitting on my couch and my cat jumped on the arm next to me and started trying to grab my necklace while i was wearing it. I picked it up to let him look at it and he started biting it. He stopped but would not take his eyes off it.

Is he trying to tell me something important, or just that he thinks it’s a toy?

​

EDIT: I’m thinking he was def just being playful. I will say that this cat participates in my practice as much as he can as a cat. Every time I do workings he insists on being right next to me. After I’m done working on my altar he likes to jump up there and rub against some of my tools (sometimes drink my altar water, which is annoying). He even sits with me still and quiet while I’m meditating. While some people say that pets can’t be familiars because they aren’t assisting in practice, I think that this cat will certainly find this offensive because he likely thinks he is a powerful witch. 🙂

I wouldn’t read into it too much, my cats will play with anything that shines and dangles. Sounds like he was just being curious

Toy. Play with the kittie for me. Mine is 20 years old and doesn’t play as much these days.

Pets are not familiars. Familiars are spirits, that aid, empower, and instruct a sorcerers practice, often via the pact. Source; The Deed without a Name, Cunning Folk and Familiar Spirits.

Cat’s simply like shiny dangling objects.

Most likely just thinks it’s a toy. Three of my cats literally to the same thing to my pentacle necklace XD
