Dreaming of a Cat: Interpretation and Meaning
To dream of a cat denotes ill luck, especially if you do not succeed in killing it or driving it from your sight. If the cat attacks you, it signifies that you will face enemies who will go to great lengths to tarnish your reputation and cause you financial loss. However, if you manage to banish the cat, you will overcome significant obstacles and rise in both fortune and fame.
Attacking or Thin Cats
If you encounter a thin, mean, and dirty-looking cat, it symbolizes bad news from an absent friend, with the possibility of them being gravely ill. However, if you chase the cat away, your friend will recover after a long illness.
The Sound of a Cat
To hear a cat's scream or mewing indicates that a false friend is working against you, using all their means to cause harm.
Cat Scratches and Female Dreams
If a cat scratches you in the dream, it signifies that an enemy will succeed in taking away the profits of a deal that you spent a long time working on. If a young woman dreams of holding a cat or kitten, she may be led into impropriety through the treachery of others.
White Cats and Merchants
To dream of a clean white cat symbolizes entanglements that, while seemingly harmless, will eventually cause sorrow and financial loss. For a merchant, dreaming of a cat warns them to put their best efforts forward as competitors may soon succeed in undermining their business dealings. If they do not adjust their methods, they risk failure.
Cat and Snake on Friendly Terms
Dreaming of a cat and a snake being friendly signals the beginning of a fierce internal struggle. This may indicate that you are hosting an enemy with the intention of using them to uncover secrets. However, you will feel uneasy about their confidences and will eventually attempt to distance yourself, fearing that your private affairs may be exposed.
