In general, cats can indicate certain originally feminine qualities, such as passivity, connection with the moon, creativity, curiosity, intuition, esotericism or vulnerability, regardless of whether the dreamer is male or female. It can also represent independence, self-confidence, spirituality or connection with one's center - the self.

When the cat represents qualities that are not close to us, it means shadow qualities, for example the negative pole of the great mother archetype. Cats can also represent hidden talents or misfortune, distinctly dark aspects of a person. Cats are independent, they have a very strong survival instinct (according to popular belief, they have 'nine lives').
