It was used often during the 15th-18th centuries, when women tried as witches were accused of having cats as their familiars.

The Pet Alliance of Orlando animal shelter sorts its dogs into Hogwarts houses. Happy, friendly dogs are placed in Hufflepuff, brave and easygoing dogs go to Gryffindor, puzzle-solving pups are in Ravenclaw, and ambitious, determined dogs land in Slytherin. Once sorted, they get a house banner over their kennel and a profile on social media. So far, the shelter hasn’t bothered sorting the cats.
