A matagot or mandagot is, in oral traditions of southern France, a spirit in the form of an animal, frequently a black cat, though rat, fox, dog, or cow types are also said to exist. Matagots are generally evil, but some may prove helpful, like the "magician cat" said to bring wealth into a home if it is well fed. Traditionally, a wealth-bringing matagot must be lured with a fresh, plump chicken, then carried home by its new owner without the human once looking back. If the cat is given the first mouthful of food and drink at every meal, it will repay its owner with a solid gold coin each morning. In Gascony traditions, you must not keep the matagot all your lifelong: if the owner is dying, he will suffer a long agony, as long as he doesn't free the matagot.

- Le chat d'argent, mandragot ou matagot est, dans le folklore de Bretagne, de Gascogne, de Provence, et du Languedoc, un chat généralement noir et diabolique obtenu par un sorcier en échange de son âme. Il est censé se promener dans quelques lieux mystérieux pendant la nuit, et revenir à l'aube avec un stock de louis d'or pour son maître. Si celui-ci le néglige ou ne le récompense pas, le chat s'offense et peut se venger cruellement. Parfois, ce chat serait censé servir non pas un, mais neuf maîtres, et conduire le dernier en enfer.

Le chat d'argent est lié aux nombreuses superstitions attachées au chat noir, qui entraînèrent souvent une profonde crainte de cet animal chez les populations qui le considéraient comme porte malheur, et des persécutions allant jusqu'aux procès de chats pour sorcellerie.
