Kitten

A kitten often touches small, soft-seeming troubles that aren't what they appear — artful deception nearly ensnaring you, petty vexations pursuing you to loss. The dream may ask what charming, innocent-looking thing might be working against you, where small worries multiply, and whether your good sense can ward off a sweet surface's harm.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for kitten, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

For a woman to dream of a beautiful fat, white kitten, omens artful deception will be practised upon her, which will almost ensnare her to destruction, but her good sense and judgment will prevail in warding off unfortunate complications. If the kittens are soiled, or colored and lean, she will be victimized into glaring indiscretions.

To dream of kittens, denotes abominable small troubles and vexations will pursue and work you loss, unless you kill the kitten, and then you will overcome these worries.

To see snakes kill kittens, you have enemies who in seeking to injure you will work harm to themselves.
