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.

Hey, Jason.
Dream interpretation and the symbols that you see are specifically tailored to your beliefs and very personal. The best thing you can do is keep a journal and make your own dictionary of what the symbols represent to you. This has always been my go-to website to understand my own super-conscious it is dream moods http://www.dreammoods.com/
Namaste
I had a dream today about a very orange cat, it was more orange than an Orange Tabby, it was like a dark but still very saturated orange. I feel like what you wrote before on the if it’s a very dark colour it’s a sign that my soul is screaming at me. It was a young cat, the emotion it was in was probably scared because in the dream I tried giving it food but it just didn’t want it and was kind of walking away from it. It was dark but still saturated orange, it was a deep orange I’d say. The situation it was in was probably scared or anxious, but it was just lying in my yard and it was a few meters in front of me. I felt okay about the dream but curious because of this orange cat. Thanks, but I need you to tell me exactly what could be going on in my life because I’m 13.
I would like to know about my dream that there is an orange cat staring at me as in very close to my eyes. He watches me like he is very amaze with my face or how i look and i stare at him back happy.
I brought a guy I was dating to my house and my cat that is not usually friendly came up to him, circled both of us three times, then sat 3ft away from us with his back turned staring down the dark street. The second time the guy came over the car jumped up on his car. These are all different behaviors for my orange tabby. He usually stays clear of strangers. What does that mean?
I large to orange cat came to my door..staring at me.. unmoving for a long as time .I gave it food it accepted reluctantly..almost irritated that I knew not it’s message..and walked away
The same orange cat keeps coming to my patio door and just sitting there looking in. I open the door today. It just sniffed around the screen. I tried to give it food. It did not want to eat. It just lays on my porch looking into the house with the doors open or closed I don’t think it’s a stray because it is well fed
I was just wondering why in the last two years I have had an orange female cat (more creamsicle looking) making a home under my back step. The first one I caught and was able to on Christmas morning trap and return to their owner. For the last few months I have another living under my back step as neighbours have told me. I do leave food out for her for I already have two tuxedo male cats that are indoor cats. She seems like she has owners for once she was shaved. One night while reading she banged on my window which shocked me and my cat. My cat meowed back to her and then I took her out food then she was gone. One time she was meowing and I went to give her food and she just walked right into our home. Neither one of my cats seemed to really care. Last night she was meowing and I went to feed her she walked right into my place went straight to the basement. I pulled out my cat carrier and she went willing in there. I closed the door she didn’t freak at all. In the morning I let her out she stretched and went upstairs to the back door I let her out. She rolled on the ground and then left. Tonight I looked for her and all she did was eat some food no meowing.
