AnimalsCat is a sign from the “Animals” group. Here is how Cat is read in the coffee grounds across the traditional schools:
Meaning in the coffee cup
What does Cat mean in the Ottoman-Persian reading?
The cat is an enemy in a friend's guise, a sign of disloyalty and hidden intent; beware deceit or an estrangement with someone you love.
What does Cat mean in the Russian-Bulgarian reading?
The cat warns of untrustworthy friends, gossip and a sly person, often a short quarrel at home too; yet a black cat brings luck, and it always stands for independence and intuition.
What does Cat mean in the German / Central-European reading?
The cat warns of a false tongue in the neighbourhood and of gossip going round behind your back; keep your house and your secrets to yourself, for not everyone who is sweet to your face means it honestly.
Where in the cup does Cat appear — and what does that change?
Near the rim the cat's falseness threatens soon, at the bottom it is an old, smouldering mistrust; by the handle the cunning comes from your near circle, opposite it from a stranger or distant person.
