If you can hear a cat crying at night, there could be spiritual meaning waiting for you to discover.

When a cat cries somewhere within earshot during the night it is probably just for cat reasons.

But when it happens over and over again, or only at spiritually significant times, there is usually meaning to the interruption.

Precisely what that meaning is will depend on a variety of things.

The color of it, whether or not you can see it, the type of crying sound it makes, and other factors contribute to what it is telling you.

Can You See The Cat Crying At Night?

Whether or not you can see, it is one of the more critical factors.

In general, cats crying are a sign of spirits in the vicinity.  Nighttime as the main factor is especially true because this is the time when the veil is thinnest.

The curtain that separates the physical world from the spirit world is weakest between 2 a,m, and 3 am.

It is usually during this hour that the spirits “come out to play”, as it were.

If you can see it as it cries then you might be able to judge if it is reacting to an unseen force.

Our feline friends have long been known to have a special connection to the spiritual and can see things that we cannot, so it might be trying to warn off an encroaching entity.

The next time it happens, try to catch a glimpse. If it is seemingly crying at thin air as though there were something there, then this is probably the case.

Warning Or Warn Off

However, if it seems to be crying specifically at you, it has an entirely more personal meaning.

Rather than trying to warn off a spirit, it is trying to warn you about one.

Try as you might, you can’t catch a glimpse of the feline perpetrator, then the warning probably isn’t for you specifically.

In any case, it would be a good idea to burn some sage around the threshold to your home.

It works by cleaning the space and will protect against any unwanted visitors from the other realm,

A Black Cat Crying At Night Spiritual Meaning

Another important factor is its color.

Black cats are associated with dark or malign forces and negative energy, though they are sometimes unfairly characterized as evil or dark energy themselves.

This isn’t true. Black cats aren’t themselves negative energy beings.

Somehow the favorite cat of the spellcasters was the blackest cat they could find.

Over time the magic must have worn off on black moggies because they are more aligned to those energies than other cats.

As a result, they tend to warn of negative entities in the vicinity, blending into shadows like liquid.

They are attracted to eradicating low energy, which is one of the reasons they have historically been associated with witches and witchcraft – and also with bad luck.

Another spiritual meaning is if a black cat is crying outside your window at night, it can indicate the presence of negative energy.

Bad energy forms either in the form of a spirit or maybe there are an accumulation of residue energy leftover from people.

The type of spirit this indicates can be those that live on, trapped between worlds, usually the result of a tragedy.

I have seen it myself, often the tragedy is public and repetitive, lifetime after lifetime.

On the other hand, if it is white, it could be informing you of a guiding spirit that is protecting you or looking out for you.

These are often lost loved ones that are lending their energy to help you, especially if you are going through a difficult time.

Is It Your Cat Crying At Night?

So far, we have dealt with stranger cats, but the meaning gets a whole lot more personal if the crying cat belongs to you – insofar as a cat can belong to anyone!

Despite what many people think, your feline companion is a lot more protective over its human than people give it credit.

When they try to draw your attention in this way, it is for a good reason, and you should take heed.

You know your cat better than anyone else, so try to judge the tone of their cry:

  • Is it panicked and locked in somewhere?
  • Is your cat in pain and need help?
  • Or is it more mournful and lonely?

The differences can be subtle but they also tell you a lot about the message they are trying to send.

Remember that they have a secure link with the spirit world, so if there is urgency in their cry then you could be vulnerable to negative energy in the form of spirits.

However, if it is more mournful it could simply be telling you of a tragic event that happened at that spot.

Or sometimes it can be a trapped soul that is seeking a way to the other side.

Unfortunately, not everyone can communicate with those stuck souls or help them pass over.

It would be so much easier if we all did – so you may not be able to get the specifics from them.

You could contact a medium to contact the spirit world yourself in order to find out more about what is going on.

Are You Dreaming Of Them Crying At Night?

One more thing – we often mistake dreams for reality during the hours that the veil is thinnest.

There is a good chance that no cat is crying outside your window, and you are dreaming of it.

Cat crying dreams hold significance. You need to pay attention to. More, because it speaks to specific concerns over your future.

Cat Crying At Night Spiritual Meaning

Dreaming of a crying cat can be an omen for struggles to come – ones that you must prepare for.

Necessary preparations follow the symbolism of cats, so ensure that you are not dependent on someone else and that you are keeping your business in order.

One way of deciphering the meaning of these dreams is to keep a detailed dream journal.

Journaling is a powerful deciphering tool for a few reasons, the most important being that we often forget the details of dreams shortly after waking up.

Writing down every little detail, you can remember as soon as you wake one way of collecting the symbolism for interpretation.

No matter what is to come, remember that the most reliable protection you can gain is good spiritual wellbeing and consciousness to the universe around you.

Keep your mind open and focussed, and nothing can take you down.
