1. A cat, especially an elderly female.
   • 1553, William Baldwin, Beware the Cat:
     Servant:..."Commend me unto Titton Tatton and to Puss thy Catton, and tell her that Grimalkin is dead.".
   • 1749, Henry Fielding, “Containing One of the Most Bloody Battles, or rather Duels, that were ever Recorded in Domestic History”, in The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling, volume I, London: A[ndrew] Millar […], OCLC 928184292, book II, page 102:
     As fair Grimalkin, who, though the youngeſt of the Feline Family, degenerates not in Feroſity from the elder Branches of her Houſe, and though inferior in Strength, is equal in Fierceneſs to the noble Tyger himſelf, when a little Mouſe, whom it hath long tormented in Sport, eſcapes from her Clutches for a while, frets, ſcolds, growls, ſwears; but if the Trunk, or Box, behind which the Mouſe lay hid, be again removed, ſhe flies like Lightning on her Prey, and, with envenomed Wrath, bites, ſcratches, mumbles, and tears the little Animal.
   • 1749, Henry Fielding, “In which, tho’ the Squire doth not Find His Daughter, Something is Found which Puts an End to His Pursuit”, in The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling, volume IV, London: A[ndrew] Millar […], OCLC 928184292, book XII, pages 198–199:
   • 1927, H. P. Lovecraft, The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath:
     Very quietly therefore did Randolph Carter steal to the edge of the wood and send the cry of the cat over the starlit fields. And a great grimalkin in a nearby cottage took up the burden and relayed it across leagues of rolling meadow to warriors large and small, black, grey, tiger, white, yellow, and mixed, and it echoed through Nir and beyond the Skai even into Ulthar, and Ulthar's numerous cats called in chorus and fell into a line of march.
2. (archaic) A bad-tempered old woman; a crone.
   Synonyms: see Thesaurus:old woman
