Cats prowl through dreams as symbols of intuition, independence and graceful self-sufficiency. A friendly, purring cat suggests you are at peace with your instincts and comfortable in your own company. Cats are also classically tied to feminine energy and mystery.
An aggressive or sneaky cat may whisper of someone nearby whose charm hides sharp claws, or of your own distrust of intuition. In folk readings a scratching cat warns of quiet rivalry. Ask whether your inner voice has been petted lately — or ignored until it hisses.
