L. (usenetlyn) - 21 Feb 2005 06:41 GMT ...Every time I have a dream with a cat in it, it isn't either of mine. I always dream about small, helpless kittens needing resuce - sometimes in the perils of nearly being eaten by a snake (I have snakes at home) or wandering into traffic, etc. There is always a bunch of them, and they are a myriad of colors. I wonder why I never dream of my own cats - I dream of my own dogs often. I also never dream of my own baby - if I have a dream with a baby in it, it is a different baby that belongs to me in the dream. Weird.

I've had dreams about my cats, foster/shelter cats, and cats I don't know. The ones of cats in danger are usually my own or cats I know. I've also had dreams about babies, but there's always something odd about them that I don't realize at first. One time (and this was way before I was pg) I gave birth to a loaf of bread. I didn't know it was a loaf of bread, and was treating it just like a baby.

> drempt I gave birth to a cat - full-grown grey tabby. I had forgotten > about that! Reminds me of a friend of mine, who had the pregnancy from Hell and spent most of it wishing she'd just had another kitten instead. The day after the birth, the midwife was showing her how to change a nappy and when she smelt the contents of her first nappy, she had one question, which must have made the midwife worry:
"How long will it take for me to housetrain her?"

Sometimes when I'm feeling silly (and maybe after a drink or two) I stuff Vino under my shirt and then pull him out. I'll hold him like a baby and announce to Dennis: "Look, I've just had a baby! And what a fine furry specimen he is! A 12 lb bundle of purry joy, I couldn't be more proud!". Dennis will usually respond by telling me to never, *never*, do that when we have guests over ;-) -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!

Or maybe Dennis is the one who owes me the keyboard since his comment is the one that caused coke to spew.

What is it with husbands just not quite "getting" our quirkier moments? I think DH is perpetually afraid I'm going to do something over the top ... which just makes it that much more fun to do so!

One of the reason I married my husband is that he laughs at and appears to enjoy my sillier side. I HAVE to play. Everyday. I play with language a lot. It's a stress reliever.

My husband is silly, but in a different (and typically less public) way than I am. Ah well, such is life. He does crack me up, especially when he dances with Oscar.

Aren't dreams strange? I've got a website (not mine, just one I've found) that tries to explain the imagery of dreams. What it says about dreaming of cats:
To see a cat in your dream, signifies much misfortune, treachery, and bad luck.
*****However, for the cat lover, cats signifies an independent spirit, feminine sexuality, creativity, and power. If the cat is aggressive, then it suggests that you are having problems with the feminine aspect of yourself. If you see a cat with no tail, then it signifies a lost of independence and lack of autonomy.
To dream that a cat is biting you, symbolizes the devouring female. Perhaps you are taking and taking without giving. You may be expressing some fear or frustration especially when something is not going as planned.
To see a black cat in your dream, indicates that you are experiencing some fear in using your psychic abilities and believing in your intuition. You may erroneously associate the black cat with evil, destruction, and bad luck. If you see a white cat, then it denotes difficult times.
To dream that a cat killed a spider, suggests that you are expressing your femininity in a seductive and cunning manner rather than in an overtly and almost destructive way.
The website can be found at:
http://www.dreammoods.com/
I generally go into the second column, since that one lets you look up the imagery, and interpret for yourself. The whole site is kind of interesting to me anyway, but...

You probably cannot bear to think of your cats or of Jonathan being in that situation. The rest is probably anxiety.

Is it a "cat dream" if you dream you went to a restaurant and all they had on the menu was whole fried fish, heads and tails intact? <G>

I've had lots of dreams about my own -- some of them awful, but a lot of them are just me trying to round them up because they've gotten out somehow. I've figured out that this recurring dream usually means I'm feeling overwhelmed! lol!
The weirdest cat dream I ever had was that the world was coming to an end. Basically, we were all going to die. So what was I doing? Running around and trying to rescue all the stray cats. Go figure!
