Lost & found kittens on sidewalks or in busy streets frequently show up in dreams as well as in real life! If you have ever found yourself searching for your lost kitten in your dreams, chances are you have also experienced this situation in waking life at some point as well.

If you have been worrying about your cat getting out of the house and getting lost, it makes sense that you would have a dream about it. But if you have been struggling with significant changes in your life, dreaming of losing your cat may represent feelings of insecurity and confusion during times of transition.
