Talk:Pyewacket (familiar spirit)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hopkins says he and nine other witnesses saw the first five of these, which appeared in the forms described by the witch. Only the first of these was in the form of a cat; the next two were dogs, and the others were a black rabbit and a polecat—so Pyewacket was presumably not a cat's name.

The above is copied adn pasted from the article. Im wondering if anyone can offer a reason why Pyewacket is presumably not a cats name? The first five were supposedly seen in the forms described above, but how does that indicate that Pyewacket was not a cat?
