Why Do Satanists Sacrifice Cats?

When Satanism was high on the agenda, some television channels broadcasted news items concerning some satanic rituals. It was at this time that it became known that they sacrificed cats in some rituals, roasting their meat and drinking their blood. Questions like “Why do they sacrifice cats?” started to be asked. First, it must be emphasized that Satanists do not only sacrifice cats, but also other animals, such as roosters or rabbits. The shedding of blood is fundamental to satanic rituals. Satanists prefer cats for several reasons. Some people think that this is because cats are considered by some to be unfaithful animals. Some others liken cats to Satan. Satanists ultimately wish to destroy Satan and wield ruling power in the world; they realize this symbolically when they sacrifice cats. Cats are also believed to be one of the animals that represent evil. Moreover, they are easy to find and catch.

Yet, there are more sinister reasons behind this choice. First of all, cats are loved by people and fed in their homes; destroying everything that people love and value is one of the principles of Satanism. There is one final reason; Muslims sacrifice animals such as sheep and cattle, the meat of which is considered permissible. Satanists, on the other hand, prefer animals that are not permissible because Satanism strives to represent opposition, siding with the other side, and performing anything that religions forbid. They drink cat blood, thinking that it will give them the feeling of immortality. A reason for imbibing blood is that Satan is regarded as a “blood sucker.”
