demon cat

Infernal supernatural kitty

A demon cat is a cat that behaves with seemingly malevolent energy—attacking ankles, knocking things off counters, or staring with unsettling intensity at 3 a.m.

The term is usually affectionate: My demon cat woke me up by sitting on my face.

It captures the way cats combine cuteness with chaotic, inexplicable aggression.
