What They Mean
DO YOU DREAM OF CATS?

VIZ HILE dogs are regarded with favor
w by the mystics as dreamland pets,
cats are looked upon askance. The
chief trouble with them seems to be
gossip; which is probably why you
call that gossiping neighbor of yours
an "old cat" Some people whom you
regard as your friends are talking
about you when you dream of cats. If
the cat appears gentle or sleeping, so
much the worse. But don't be alarmed;
to be gossiped about is the common lot.
Just drive the dreamcat away and all
will be well. If the animal makes off
IN response to your energetic Scat"
you will triumph over many obstacles.
But choose your eonfidants carefully
when you see dreamcats. 1t Is not
good sign to have the cat attack you,
for II means that the obstacles you
will have to overcome will be great.
Dreamcats also, strangely enough.
seem to have a connection with rob-
hers. II you beat or kill cat In your
dreams you are going to catch thief,
and If It Ia a cat you never saw before
you will recover all he may have
stolen from you. These are only gen.
