My cat was being attacked
Can anyone help interpret the meaning of this rearm please?
I was dreaming about something else that I don't recall but then I was on a street and saw my old cat (which had passed years ago). I felt guilty because I realized I hadn't been home for a long time and had not fed the cats. I was worried that they were possible sick or dead. I walked home with the cat at my side to feed it. When I arrived at the house (which was home in my dream but not a place I have ever lived) I began looking for the other cats and checking up on them. All my cats were accounted for and alive but but I continued to look for my kitten. There was a stray cat in the house that I could tell had been attacking my kitten. The kitten was scared. The kitten had my ex boyfriends name. The stray pounced on him and was biting his neck. This wasn't a normal cat fight just the one cat biting the other. I felt bad for my kitten and that I had not protected it. It took me awhile to separate the stray from my kitten. It had been biting his next but the stray did not bite or scratch me. When I finally had them separated the stray ran away and I held the kitten in my arms. He had some bite marks and a few patches of hair missing where there were scars. I felt horrible that I hadn't protected him. I started carrying the kitten while going to get food for all the cats and was going to check on the litter box but I woke up because I still felt so horrible about not protecting the kitten.
Background info: recently had a fight with my ex that ruined our friendship. It bothers me but I know it's for the best that I don't speak to him anymore as he had become disrespectful and began being dishonest. I've recently begun dating someone new as well. I've also felt emotionally drained by life lately and a bit directionless. Hopefully some of this helps. I can answer other questions if needed. I rarely remember any of my dreams but this one bothered me tremendously and I can't shake it
