The Cat

Book • 1999
Marie-Louise von Franz's 'The Cat' delves into the archetypal symbolism of cats as they appear in fairy tales, myths, and legends from various cultures.

Von Franz explores the cat's multifaceted nature, examining its associations with independence, intuition, mystery, and the feminine principle.

She argues that the cat embodies both domesticity and wildness, representing the integration of conscious and unconscious aspects of the human psyche.

Through her analysis of feline imagery, Von Franz offers insights into the nature of instincts, the challenges of individuation, and the importance of embracing the unknown.

The book is a captivating exploration of the cat as a symbol of inner wisdom and transformation.
