What does it mean when you dream of a dead cat or injured cat?

Answer 1

The book called 10,000 DREAMS INTERPRETED (subtitle) or What's In a Dream by Gustavus H. Miller is a pretty good reference text for a variety of symbology meanings; no dreams are analyzed - just various possible meanings for the symbologies themselves. One symbol, such as a horse (for instance) can have as many meanings as there are colors of horse, as each has a specific meaning, and what was the horse doing (also a variety of specific meanings) and was the dreamer riding, thrown or fording a stream, etc, each with a specific meaning. Some other symbologies in this particular text may only have one meaning. In the case of cats in general - this reference text implies that dreaming about a cat (in general) denotes ill-luck. If the cat attacks you - you have enemies who will go to any lengths to blacken your reputation and cause you loss of property. Depending upon the cat's appearance (dirty-looking, thin and mean) signifies something specific, to hear a cat scream or mewing signifies something else, to dream that the cat scratches you, an enemy will succeed in wrenching from you the profits of a deal that you have spent many days making, if a young woman holds a cat or kitten, it means something else, a clean white cat signifies the opposite of what one would think, when a merchant dreams of a cat, his competitors are out to demolish his hard work, etc., most of the references, if not all, re: cats forebodes ill luck, misfortune, enemies successful against you and treachery - however, nothing is said in this otherwise excellent reference for dream symbology about a dead cat.
