Ever noticed my cat during lives? There’s a reason he always shows up

The Spiritual Connection Between Cats and the Mystical World

Throughout history, cats have been seen as mysterious creatures—watchful, independent, and otherworldly. In spiritual spaces today, many people notice that their cats tend to appear during moments of deep reflection, meditation, or tarot readings. While it may seem coincidental, there's a long-standing belief that cats have a natural connection to the spiritual realm.

So why are cats considered so spiritual? And why do they often show up when you're doing spiritual work?

This is my cat every time I go to post card readings for my Subscribers.

Ancient Roots of the Cat-Spirit Link

The bond between cats and spirituality goes back thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, cats were revered and even worshipped. They were seen as sacred animals, protectors of the home, and spiritual guardians. The goddess Bastet, often depicted with the head of a lioness or domestic cat, was a deity of home, fertility, and protection against evil spirits.

In other cultures, cats were viewed as beings that walked between worlds. Their ability to see in the dark, move silently, and remain acutely aware of their environment gave them an air of mystery. They were thought to be able to sense what humans could not—spirits, energy shifts, or subtle changes in vibration.

Cats as Energy Readers

One reason cats are drawn to spiritual work is their sensitivity to energy. Cats are highly attuned to their surroundings. They often gravitate toward peaceful, high-vibration environments—the kind created during meditation, tarot, or energy healing sessions. When you light candles, focus your mind, or call in spiritual guidance, your cat may sense that something sacred is happening and want to be a part of it.

Many spiritual practitioners report that their cats sit near them during readings or rituals. This isn't just because of comfort or curiosity—it’s believed that cats can sense the energetic shifts taking place. They may even serve as quiet protectors, creating a buffer between you and unwanted energies. In this way, they act almost like spiritual bodyguards.

Guardians of the Spiritual Space

There’s a belief in some spiritual circles that cats can see spirits and interdimensional beings. Whether or not you take this literally, it’s hard to deny that cats often stare into corners or behave oddly in ways that suggest they’re perceiving something unseen. This may be why they tend to "guard" you when you're doing intuitive work. You might find your cat sitting nearby, circling you, or simply watching intently as you pull cards or light incense.

They’re not just passive observers. Cats are thought to transmute energy. When you're working with deep emotions, releasing old wounds, or opening yourself to guidance, your cat may absorb and neutralize the excess energy in the space. This might explain why they sometimes fall asleep near you during a reading—they’re helping stabilize the room’s energy while you do your work.

Companions in the Mystical Journey

Cats don’t demand much, but they often choose to be present during significant moments. Their quiet presence brings grounding and peace. If you practice tarot, astrology, or any spiritual art, your cat might sense the energetic doorway you’re opening and choose to sit in that threshold with you.

There’s something undeniably sacred about a cat curling up beside you while you shuffle cards or interpret symbols. It’s as if they’re saying, “I see what you’re doing. I understand, in my own way.”

Whether you believe cats are spirit guardians, energy readers, or simply deeply intuitive companions, their presence during spiritual work is never random. They offer comfort, protection, and sometimes silent validation that you are indeed touching something beyond the ordinary.

Final Thoughts

Cats remind us to trust our instincts, to move slowly, to listen to the silence, and to honor the unseen. When a cat joins you in your sacred space, take it as a quiet blessing. You’re not alone in your journey. Something ancient and wise is watching with you.

Do you ever have your cat join you during spiritual times? Their presence may be more meaningful than you realize.

And perhaps that, more than anything, is why they stay close when the veil gets thin.
