A seven-year-old cat is a witch!
According to local superstition, cats become witches once they are seven years old. Once two Eschweiler women stood together chatting. Just then, a house cat jumped up. One of the women said to the other, “The cat looks fairly old. How old is it?” – “More than seven years”, replied the other. – “My God!” cried the first woman, “then you have to kill it. A cat is a witch once it turns seven.” The cat, however, had heard everything that was said and in the blink of an eye, jumped out of the window, taking a window pane with it. And from that day forward, it was never seen again. Teacher P. Hummer
