what does the cat in my dreams mean?

To see a cat in your dream symbolizes an independent spirit, feminine sexuality, creativity, and power. It also represents misfortune and bad luck. The dream symbol has different significance depending on whether you are a cat lover or not. The cat could indicate that someone is being deceitful or treacherous toward you. If the cat is aggressive, then it suggests that you are having problems with the feminine aspect of yourself.�If you are afraid of the cat in your dream, then it suggests that you are fearful of the feminine. The dream may be a metaphor for "cattiness" or someone who is "catty" and malicious. If you see a cat with no tail, then it signifies a loss of independence and lack of autonomy.

Perhaps your subconscious mind is sending a big grey cat into your dreams because it wants you to find out WHY you hate cats so much. They, too, are God's creatures and some are quite loving and gentle.

I'm a dog person myself so I can't pretend to be an authority on cats. I don't think a cat in a dream has any special meaning. It just means you are surrounded by NOT your favorite type of pets and they are getting on your nerves. Learn about them, read about them. Learning about something always helps and can be very interesting.
