Dreams are supposedly insights into our subconscious thoughts, so if you’re curious what might be on your mind if you dream about a cat, you can consult a dream dictionary.

To see a cat in your dream supposedly symbolizes an independent spirit, feminine sexuality, creativity, and power. On the other hand, a dream about a cat could also represent misfortune and bad luck, although that’s usually just the feelings most people experience after taking care of their cat with no thanks from their feline pet. Some other dream symbols for cats include:

  • To dream that a cat is scratching you suggests that you are feeling threatened.
  • To see a black cat in your dream indicates that you are experiencing some fear in using your psychic abilities and believing in your intuition.
  • To dream that a cat killed a spider suggests that you are expressing your femininity in a seductive and cunning manner rather than in an overtly and almost destructive way.
