Dreaming About Cats
Independence, and what you cannot control
Cats are read as independence, intuition and the parts of a person that refuse to be managed, which is why they turn up so often in dreams about other people's behaviour. Older European interpretation adds a note of deceit; the modern reading is softer, closer to self-possession, or to a feminine influence somewhere in the dreamer's life.
What happened in yours?
The variation matters more than the symbol. These are the ones people report most.
A cat that will not come to you
Read as someone whose affection you cannot earn by trying harder at it.
An aggressive or scratching cat
Usually taken as a boundary you have crossed without being told where it was.
A kitten you are trying to look after
Associated with responsibility for something fragile that did not ask for your help.
A black cat
Read as superstition made personal — the reading depends entirely on whether it frightened you.
Tell someone the whole dream
Cat dreams usually attach to one specific person who does not do what you want. Naming that person is more useful than deciding whether the cat counted as a good omen or a bad one.
