Along with Razor, Grimalkin was one of almost a hundred cats in Benalaius's possession. They served him as companions, guardians, and agents, and were good judges of character. He could communicate silently with them.

Personality
He regularly lay on Benelaius's lap and liked being rubbed behind the ears. He also tended to wake his servant Jasper in the mornings by licking his face.

Description
He had soft fur.

History
By occupying Benelaius's lap after midnight on Eleint 20 of the, Grimalkin was one of a number of cats present at the meeting of townsfolk he called to reveal the murderer of Dovo and Grodoveth, as well as an Iron Throne spy ring.

Background
A grimalkin or greymalkin (meaning "gray-haired cat" or "grey-haired woman") is an archaic term for a cat, one often associated with witchcraft. Thus Grimalkin may be Benelaius's familiar.
