A grimalkin (also called a greymalkin) is an archaic term for a cat. The term stems from grey (the colour) plus malkin, an archaic term with several meanings (a cat, a low class woman, a weakling, a mop or a name) derived from a hypocoristic form of the female name Maud. Scottish legend makes reference to the grimalkin as a faery cat that dwells in the highlands. Nostradamus the French prophet & astrologer, 1503-1566, had a cat named Grimalkin. Beware the Cat was published in 1570 by William Baldwin. The novel is a story of talking cats, and part of it relates the story of the Grimalkin's death. According to its editors, the story, and thus the name, originates with Baldwin in terms of being the earliest example known in print.
