Nearly every animal carries some kind of symbolic significance for us.
Among all animals, cats are often seen as having the most profound spiritual symbolism.
Cats do have certain traits, a recent research has shown some fascinating insight into their behavior and personality traits. This not only enriches the spiritual meaning and symbolism.
Experts like Dr. Carlo Siracusa and James Serpell at the University of Helsinki reveal that modern cats have a complex sociability and connect on a deeper level with humans. (Penn Today) (ScienceDaily).
The color of a cat’s fur significantly influences the spiritual meanings associated with it.
Today, we will discuss the symbolism behind orange-furred (also known as ginger or marmalade) cats.
So whether you are searching for spiritual, artistic, or emotional symbolism related to an orange cat, these are the meanings you might find:
Leader or Follower?
The orange cat symbolizes leadership and the nature of natural-born leaders.
Most cats are fiercely independent with natural charisma, but ginger cats symbolize the virtues of good leadership.
If you see a ginger cat with the perspective of appearing ahead of you, know this means you need to take the lead in your current situation.
It may even be pointing out to you and congratulating you on taking the lead, even when you did not see it for yourself.
We can learn the traits of strong leaders by emulating the animal, practicing independent thought, and strong will in the face of adversity.
Follower
The flip side to this is the flaws of a weak follower.
So if for example, the cat appears behind you, know that this means you are being a weak follower in your current situation.
It is time for you to do some self-examination and understand where in your life you are making the mistake of not giving support to the person who is in the lead and helping you.
There is nothing wrong with following someone who is leading. We all do it and it is necessary sometimes.
Bold, Brash, Adventurous
The orange cat is a symbol of adventure in the traditional sense: Striding headfirst into danger and peril for the promise of great riches and glory.
Metaphorically speaking, of course.
We can learn about confidence from the orange tabby because they teach us to take risks, and go places.
It encourages us to get out of our comfort zone and do something we can have some pride in.
It is not always clear to us how to make changes in our life, but we can look at the ginger tabby and emulate some of their characteristics.
Sweeping Change
The essence of the orange cat on a vibrational level is one of change, upheaval, and new beginnings.
Orange as a color is very sacred and holds spiritual significance on many levels.
Identifying with the orange cat means understanding and maintaining the status quo is easy, but upsetting it provides the opportunity for something bigger and better to rise from the dust.
Without the drive to change things, nothing ever improves. It also involves trusting yourself to take risks.
When we see an orange/ginger cat it is telling us to look within and seek that heroic part of ourselves.
These risks are essential to achieving our deepest desires and without them, we will never lead or prosper.
Environment
The orange cat has a particular symbolic meaning in the modern world as it symbolizes the sun and the climate.
It drives us to commit to action, to save our planet from the excesses of humanity, where an irresponsible few pollute the atmosphere and damage Mother Nature.
We can make changes and employ solar power as a way of preserving our Mother Earth.
