For anyone who’s spent a great deal of time with cats, you may have noticed their love for solitude, their deep stares, and their curious nature.In the spiritual world, they evoke several representations and meanings.
Cats are often associated with mystery, darkness, and omens. And while black cats are most often associated with witchcraft and sorcery, there’s so much more to these felines than meets the eye.
Cats In History
Cats are not a common animal for the Native Americans, therefore, they are not part of the original totem animals, which are known to symbolize the individual. Cats were actually brought by Europeans who came to America and regarded them as domestic feline pets.
Nevertheless, cats are still given divine symbolism and representation in the spiritual world.
While many cultures and ancient civilizations regarded them as bad omens, they were actually celebrated in many parts of the world. The Egyptians, for example, worshipped them. Ancient Egyptians considered cats as royalty and were treated with privileges.
In popular culture, cats have been associated with darkness because of their capacity to see clearly and stay active at night. They have highly adaptive eyes that are piercing, and they move in a sensual and sly way that reminds people of the cunning and manipulative forces of other beings.
But what do they really represent in the spiritual world and what does it mean when your spirit animal is a cat?
Let’s dig deeper into the spiritual significance of cats.
Cat Totem: The Cat As Your Spirit Animal
Cats are considered to be highly magical creatures in the spiritual world. They are known to help protect human beings, act as messengers, and even help in healing. Because of this, they are often seen with Shamans, healers, and psychics.

When your spirit animal is a cat, what does it mean and how do you use it to your advantage?
1. Cats Are Intelligent
Cats are great hunters in the wild. In fact, Egyptians began to domesticate cats because of their great hunting ability. Cats act when the time is right. When they hunt, they not only use force, but they master the sense of timing in their attack.
They follow their targets, wait patiently, then position themselves until they catch it.
The wisdom of the cat totem lies in its ability to remain patient, observe, and act when the time is right, and this makes them highly intelligent creatures.
When you relate this to your life, you may notice you are often better positioned to reach your goals due to your patience and capacity to strike when the iron is hot.
2. Cats are Independent
Cats are often seen lounging on their own, separated from other cats. They explore on their own and don’t really need someone else to take care of them. However, they are also social creatures and love the companionship of their owners.
This very ability for cats to be independent while being social means they are confident with themselves. Whether they are on their own or with other people, they are happy and content and don’t need the approval or help of someone else to survive and live life.
3. Cats are Agile
Cats are vigilant and agile. They may stay quiet and only observe but when needed, they can be sharp, cunning, and quick in action.In life, those with the cat totem easily adapt to situations and quick to make decisions.
4. People Are Drawn to Cats
Cats are sensual beings and that is why people are drawn to them. They are sweet, sensual, and soft, and in human beings, people are attracted to you because of your feminine essence.
5. Cats Can Be Cunning and Manipulative
Because cats know that other creatures and humans are drawn to them, they know exactly how to act to get what they want. And because of their natural ability to be patient, they often observe your weaknesses and pry on them when the time is right.
Because of this, you have the ability to manipulate and take advantage of people, and this is one symbolism that’s flawed in cats, and also you, as a human being.
