I have this dream where I have cat food in my bag and I apparently have to feed my mothers cat, except I've forgotten to. I wake up thinking I've killed my mothers cat because I forgot to feed it and start to panic. It's only after a few minutes of panicking and someone asking me what is wrong that I realise it was only a dream and that my mother does not have a cat at all. Could anyone shed some light on what this could mean?

It sounds like the cat could represent a part of yourself that needs nurturing, but that you've been neglecting.

A mother is usually associated with caring and nurturing.
