What Does Cat Mean in Dream Interpretation?

Frequently asked questions
What does dreaming about a cat mean?
Independence, and things kept private. It can refer to your own self-sufficiency or to someone who is not fully open with you.
Is a cat a bad sign in dreams?
No. Unlike the snake, the cat conceals without deceiving. It suggests you may not have the whole picture, not that you are being misled.
