Biblical meaning of cats in dreams
In the Bible, cats are not mentioned as frequently as other animals such as dogs, lions, or horses.
However, some biblical interpretations associate cats with sin and deceit, as in the story of Jacob and Laban where Laban is described as “switching” Jacob’s wages by substituting weaker animals with stronger ones.
Some religious scholars also interpret dreams of cats as representing evil spirits, or as a symbol of temptation and danger. On the other hand, some see cats as representing independence, agility, and a connection to nature.
