Okay; this one has been causing me a nagging itch in the brain. I recall having seen-probably on some incarnation of Scans Daily on another platform-a U.S. romance comic from the 1940’s or 1950’s that had an anthology host-something more characteristic of horror comics.

Don't remember much of the plot, but it was told from the point of view of a female(?) cat who was like a witch's familiar.
