The Cat Monster is yourself, Kiss.

The cat represents both your strength and your anger. It is a symbol of your desire to make things right for your family and to be the one to rescue those you love. It also embodies your anger and the desire to be in control and then to be honored.

By “projecting” these qualities outward onto an imaginary creature, the dream allows you to release your anger and rage against those relatives while not experiencing the guilt or blame for disrespectful, impolite or unladylike behavior. Qualities such as power, strength, passion for justice and so on tend to be viewed as masculine. In the West, women who express such qualities are accused of being “catty” or “bitchy.” Your dream solves this problem by locating your power and anger outside yourself, in the Cat Monster.

BTW, it is not a coincidence that your profile name is kiSS, and one of the members of the band KISS is a cat monster.
