An unfavorable dream of treachery and deceit; to be scratched by a cat, ill luck, but to kill one is a good omen, denoting triumph over enemies (Artemidorus). "The image of a cat in a dream expresses an angry, discontented mood" (Schemer). The cat was worshiped as a symbol of the sun god in Egypt; the same word, Mau, stands for both cat and light; the Hebrew horror of the gods of the Egyptians is therefore expressed in their interpretation of the cat as a symbol of deceit and treachery.
