Cat symbolism in life and art what do cat people symbolize?

Suddenly appeared cat , cute cat click
 What do cats symbolize? chanced upon a cute cat with green eyes on my evening walks and clicked it, perfectly timed entry in my life for settling my inner and outer chaos!
Basically with the famous old ancient mythical mysticism, cats with their nine lives are symbolic of rebirth. Resurrection. Change and new beginnings. As their are also associated with darkness, they are considered guardians of darkness, night.
In childhood I would get scared with black cats but knowing now that they represent guidance and protection from your ancestors is a respite. Beliefs about cats still continue, people avoid cat crossing pathway, people feel negative spirits are lurking if cats are seen, or that when they cry there may be a death news soon. Well, it can for once be that the cat is pregnant, or in some  pain that they are crying in cold winter! yes, once I was so scared but later found a stray cat gave birth to cute kittens after the crying nights. I guess we must break the negative thought patterns and start loving and caring for animals! 
No doubt cats are mystical creatures. Celestial animals. In feng shuii they symbolize immense goodluck. the maneko neki cat is a symbol of welcoming good business and prosperity. Cats in Feng shuii are so lucky they are displayed in entrance of many dining restaurants and business shops.

Cats have healing gifts and it is well proved by cat people , those who love cats and are attracted to cats. Cat people love uniqueness, royalty, attitude, grace and have unique mysterious personalities.
Colour of cats also indicates a lot. White cats are associated with purity, grace and charm.
They are Totem animals for finding Independence and freedom. Yes, they are enchanting and have a vast effect on human beings. Their presence or appearing in life, dreams, symbolizes heavenly messages.
Why, yes, not only traditional witches had black cats, even today people love the aura of strength and attitude in black cats!And they work as Masters in our lives , rather than being pets to humans. ask any cat person! Black cats are still feared by many as they have been embedded in ancient history as companions of witches and black magic craft people. And of course, the crossing of the black cat on the road has still strong symbolism and belief in many minds.
Especially their furry skin and the soft tail, and the cute eyes, mesmerizing, as they come closer to you you will feel strong vibrations of positive energy surrounding them. While you are attracted to them, they will only draw to a person if they feel like. That's what I like about them , they are so choosy and bossy!
Mystics believe cats absorb negative energy from the environment and protect the owner from dark energies.
About world symbolism-
Cats have been worshiped in Egypt as deities.
China and Japan love cats and respect them. Maniko Neko, the cat has strong symbolism in feng shuii as a carrier of goodluck and prosperity. Fortune cats or beckoning cats.
White cats with their aura of moon energy, purity are goodluck carriers. clarity, wisdom, intuition.
Brown colours, or tanned colour cats are yang energy, male energy cats. Well they do bring richness.
For love, fortune, emotional stability , grey cats are famous.
Mixture of colours are so beautiful. they have yang energy and bring warmth, closeness and  good fortune to homes they reside in.
Curious, adventurous, and skillful, are their traits and this gets transferred to people who are surrounded by them.
Independent, somewhat lazy , adamant and free spirited.
People who identify with these characteristics have them as pets. We can notice distinct qualities in cat lovers, they themselves are with some attitude and style! 
They also are very observant and mostly cat lovers are creative people following such professions where creativity is at its best. Charismatic, in fields of design, decor, art, architecture, advertising.
Often you see cats in tight situations above roof tops, so yes, their independence and free spirit sometimes may lead them to dangerous situations, so one has to be aware and careful of this.
Death of a cat is a very emotional experience and indicates that the cat has decided to close its life here on earth. Seeing a dead cat in dream symbolizes new beginnings or completion of any negative phase of your life to a new one.
And I have heard spiritual people mention that cats never leave their family, they always offer overprotective energies and are available when called for!
Just that if you are allergic to fur, you have to make happy with cat photos! or cat symbols!
