Q: Who did the voice of the cat in "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch"?
The voice of Salem Saberhagen, a witch trapped in the body of a black cat in the teen sitcom "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch," was done by Nick Bakay, a man generally more comfortable off-screen than on.
He's actually more known as a writer than an actor. Indeed, he's only done a few acting roles, with Salem being by far his biggest (he voiced the cat for the show's entire seven-year run).
