There are a number of possible explanations. You chose one of them: you decided that because the cat was in exactly the same spot, this must mean that the other part of the dream must necessarily be correct as well, and thus your son did not accidentally shoot that gun.
It is however also possible that the only precognitive part of the dream was about the position of the cat. In my own experience my precognitive dreams have not been 100% precognitive in all ways, but just some, and often unimportant. We like to think that we can reliably predict the future, but that may be just wishful thinking. You might have combined that wishful thinking with your fear that this killing was not accidental, and arrived at a conclusion that may or may not have been accurate.
As a parent myself, if this were my child, I would be worried in two directions: what if you incorrectly accused your son of doing this deliberately and he may still resent that you trust a dream more than you trust him; however, if your interpretation was correct, and he did it deliberately, I would worry that taking away the gun would not be enough: harming animals is often a warning sign of even more serious issues.
Of course, even if you were accurate in your interpretation that he did it deliberately, this could have been due to your instinct based on your subconsciously reading his facial expressions and body language in waking life, and then you slept on it, and realized that you think this was not just an accident.
The cat being there confirmed for you that this was truth, but this does not necessarily mean that the (whole) dream was paranormal, although I believe it might have been.
If you are asking how precognitive dreams are possible. If you believe in God, consider that it could be a message from God. Alternatives include: time is not linear; our mind creates the world around us; statistical coincidence due to large numbers; telepathy and dream sharing from cat.
