Wow, I love what you've said about the cat here. I always think of the cat as representing intuition, mystery and sexuality too but I think you've really nailed it with your comments about intense power hidden beneath the surface.I get contentment from the cat. Sleeping power. ......I have cats. too many cats. It doesn't matter how sound asleep they are, if they smell food, or you dangle something in front of them, anything, they are ON IT in an instant. 0-60 in less than a second. The Queen to me would seem to possess this, quiet and serene, but with an intense power underneath that she can access at a moments notice. ......The cat's sheathed claws would seem to fulfill part of this imagery too.
Thanks for this .
