Cats in dreams often symbolize independence, intuition, and the more mysterious, feminine, or self-reliant parts of yourself. How you feel about the cat in the dream shapes the meaning.
A calm, affectionate cat can reflect trust in your intuition and comfort in your own company. A hissing or hostile cat may point to a hidden tension, or to feeling deceived. Because cats are hard to control, they can also represent a person or situation you can't quite pin down.
Consider: what is my intuition trying to tell me lately, and am I listening to it?
